Almost every short sale I've been initiating lately in Sacramento has been a HAFA short sale. The government just keeps tweaking the HAFA and making it more attractive to a seller. Because sellers don't work in short sales and, hopefully, the short sale they do will be the only short sale they wi

One of the really great things that happens to a Sacramento real estate agent when she answers her phone is the fact she gets to talk to a lot of different people during the day. Often, the people I speak to, for example, offer up interesting fodder to discuss in my blog. Of course, I would never

Another real estate agent in Sacramento referred a seller to me yesterday because she is a relative. It's not always a good idea to work with relatives because it's sometimes difficult to tell people you cherish and love the truth, especially, if they are ill-prepared to receive it. For example,

I had a rather astonishing thing happen yesterday when I discovered that although I thought I had my back covered, it was, in fact, not covered. It did not involve clients; it was a different business aspect. That doesn't happen to me very often because by nature I question people's motives, and

I woke up this morning to a voice mail from a fellow real estate agent in Sacramento telling me that some nut job was posting untrue crap about me on Trulia. When you're in the public eye, these types of things happen. Especially when you have access to media. Until I met my husband, a veteran jo

Don't you love it when people ask what can go wrong in any given situation? Because there are always so many ways that things that can go wrong in life, in relationships, at work, in general. I worry about what can go wrong if I see a horrible thing heading down a one-way street the wrong way, bu

I held 3 open houses in Sacramento yesterday while I went to the movies at the Tower Theatre in Land Park. I tried to talk my husband into The Great Gatsby but, due to the reviews, he wasn't having any of it. Oh, who cares if the movie is over-the-top with digital effects and we already know the

It's bad enough that Sacramento home sellers are worrying about how much they can get in today's seller's market in Sacramento without feeding to a fantasy, which happened outside of my jurisdiction yesterday. I have no time for agents who cause my sellers anxiety . . . But that's why I'm success
