The real estate market in Sacramento is fierce at the moment, and listings are few and far between. A Sacramento real estate agent who controls the listings has a pretty nice guaranteed income, providing she does her job correctly. I forget exactly how many people in Sacramento hold a real estate

Words that no agent who is in the middle of a short sale ever want to hear from a seller is: "Do you think I should do a loan modification?" Because a seller can't do both. It's either a loan modification or a short sale. Some sellers who started a short sale in Sacramento, say, oh, 6 years ago,

We are trying to close a Sacramento short sale by tomorrow that expires tomorrow. We are often "down to the wire" with these short sales. After coordinating all of the people who need to sign, obtaining all of the signatures, depositing the funds, we are still sitting here waiting on the approval

Many of us came into the profession of real estate from other jobs. Even if you've been in the real estate business for as many decades as I have, there have always been other jobs along the way. There are the jobs you take because it's summer vacation and you're in high school and need the money

When you've been in real estate for as long as I have, it's easy to forget what working for a corporation can be like. Some of us were not meant to work for corporate America in a direct capacity. By some of us, I'm probably referring to myself. I just can't do it. I've had times in my life when
