Real estate is one of the only professions that pays huge sums of money to people who don't necessarily need to have any experience in their profession. This is the main reason, I believe, that some people bad mouth real estate agents. But you generally don't hear bad things about an experienced

I felt exhausted after voting this week. Didn't you? The election wore me out. Especially if you voted in California. Holy cow. In Sacramento, we had four pages on our ballot. Four pages of Propositions and Politicians! There were just too damn many things to vote for. You've gotta ask yourself w

OK, maybe to call this an overview of a Bank of America FHA short sale negotiator is unfair. Some Sacramento Short Sale Agents might say all of the negotiators at Bank of America are like the guy I describe in my personal blog this morning. But I would disagree. I've worked with some fabulous sho

Now, before you think we did not hand out candy on Halloween in Sacramento, let me say we did not totally cancel Halloween. Nope, we bought the candy. Then, we replaced the candy we bought for Halloween yesterday with new candy because we ate all of that candy. We bought the stuff that we thought
