Here's one thing you don't expect to happen every day. You're a Land Park agent, out showing homes near Robertson and Riverside. You step outside into the sunshine and BAM, BAM, you hear gunshots. That's what happened on Friday to an Elizabeth Weintraub team member. The agent called to share the

It's hard to think like a crook. Part of the problem is crooks are often not very smart. I mean, if they were smart, they would think of some other way to make a living than to be a crook. Because there are other options, you know. You don't have to turn to a life of crime to pay the bills. I'm n

One of my clients said to me the other day that he's afraid of me because he reads my blogs. He was half laughing but he was also half serious, I suspect. Of course, I find that sentiment hilarious. I do not think of myself as a frightening or scary person. Confident, but not overly so. Direct, b

It's like somebody turned loose all of the winged monkeys on a single day. There were so many of them flapping about yesterday that they were knocking each other out of the sky. Banging into each other. Boom! Splattered monkeys on the pavement. You might not know this, but winged monkeys lack the
