The one thing about a Bank of America short sale is it never lets any grass grow under its feet. It seems that Bank of America is constantly striving to improve the quality of its service and to streamline processes. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. But at least this bank is trying to

Aeoniums, a type of succulent that grows very well in Land Park, also are monocarpic. The rosette elongates into a conical flower spike. This is the prettiest of all of my flowering succulents and the only time I have seen it bloom: I put in this last photo so you can see the scale of the flower

Are short sale banks violating Fair Debt Collection Practices Act? In America, we have federal law and, in many states, state fair debt collection practices rules. These laws govern who can attempt to collect a debt and how they can do it. For example, borrowers have the right to tell a collectio

You can't help the market, but you can help which agent you choose to be your buyer's agent in Sacramento. It is really tough being a first-time home buyer in this town right now. You probably won't hear this on the news, but inventory is so tight it squeaks and multiple offers are the norm. Yes,

My hairdresser says the worst thing that can happen when your hair is bleached is for some of it to break off. I disagree. I say the worst thing that could happen is all of it could fall out. Like from chemotherapy. Or, how about having your hair catch on fire? I don't want my hair on fire. He ju

One of the incredible things about being a real estate agent is the fact I get to meet such a huge variety of super cool people. People I would never meet otherwise because I never go anywhere and I have no friends. Not that I really like people, either. For the most part, I don't like people. No
