We'll ask a buyer's agent politely but if an agent's buyer fails to perform, we're not gonna be very happy about it. Just because I'm a Sacramento real estate agent doesn't mean I can't play nicely in the sandbox. Hey, I know what side my bread is buttered on, and I'm always very happy to work wi

I have a potential listing on the horizon in Sacramento that is occupied by a tenant. I don't know where it is written that when a rental home goes on the market it's got to be Sacramento real estate agent versus the tenant, but many tenants seem to feel that way about real estate agents. As thou

You know, I say yes, it is OK to write about sex if you want. It's OK to write about whatever you want in a blog because it's your blog. If people don't like it, they won't read it. If they don't read it, they might not ever call you. Do you care? I'm not overly invested. I blog because I have so

My husband is fond of saying he hates wood. That's only because I made him help me build a garage when we bought our first home. I love home improvement projects. He does not. That's why I usually wait for him to go out of town before I do anything around our house. Of course, these days I genera

If you're a newer agent looking for business in Sacramento, it's kind of hard to throw a rock and not hit a cash investor. They are everywhere. They are like termites in a water-soaked wall under the kitchen sink. They are multiplying overnight in the thousands. Many of them are arriving in drove

Having been an escrow officer almost four decades ago, I know how real estate agents are viewed by other real estate professionals. Let's just say that most people in the industry realize that paperwork is not an agent's strong suit. Agents are sales people first, paper pushers second. Yet, agent

The thing about a Sacramento short sale is the fun never stops and the stupidity only gets "stupid-er" as time goes on. The dumbest thing I heard this week -- and this is only Wednesday, so it's possible I could hear something even dumber before the week is over, in fact, I can almost guarantee i

The thing about answering my own phone is even though I hear the phone number repeated in my ear, it doesn't tell me who's calling unless I look at my phone. Even then, I don't know who I'm talking to half the time. Yesterday, a guy called and demanded to know about a Sacramento short sale proper

My goal in selling Sacramento real estate is not, surprisingly, to make a big whopping pile of money. Most people think that's the reason we real estate agents sell real estate. Compensation is a component, but it's more of an after fact than a motivating factor. It's the result of customer satis

I know, I know, I almost feel like I should be eating my shoes or something over this Bank of America HAFA Short Sale in Sacramento. So many of these HAFA Short Sales at Bank of America have been so dreadful for so long that I felt like an unchained elephant. You know what I mean, right? Elephant
