Lots of people have told me I should write a book about my life but there are not enough hours in the day to write about all of it. Besides, how would I write a sequel, ha, ha? Autobiographies can be droll and memories fade. So, I'm contemplating writing a book about a particular time period cove

Every so often, it's fun to get dressed up and go out, especially if we're dressed as somebody else. It could be argued that every time I get dressed up, I am most definitely dressed as somebody else because if social correctness was left up to me to interpret, I would never wear anything but swe

All that home buyers really want is to buy a nice home, even if it's a Sacramento short sale, but some of them might never get the chance in a short sale scam. Oh, you can say the blame lies with how easy it is for any person with a pulse in California to obtain a real estate license, but the pro

In the time it has taken me to write a blog on my business website, insert links, upload a photograph, and write about the length of time it can take to close a Sacramento short sale, MetroList still is not working. This is a horrible thing for a Sacramento real estate agent, not being able to ac

This morning I could not help but talk about the SpaghettiOs fiasco and how much Bob Dylan's guitar sold for at auction. But none of that, as interesting as it all is and, in some instances, amusing as all get-out on many levels, has distracted me completely from focusing on the purchase offer th

There are days that I feel the public regards working with real estate agents as a necessary evil. They don't really want to talk to a Sacramento real estate agent, but they must. I think part of that attitude is because they don't really understand how we work. They think we're all rolling in do

As with any kind of ruling, there are always exceptions to the rule and guidelines to follow, but most Californians who are doing a short sale no longer have to worry about paying tax on mortgage debt relief or fret about short sale tax liability. What I find interesting is who is getting the cre

After I finish telling sellers in Sacramento all of the things that I do for them in a short sale, including how they should not send any documents to the bank or have a reason to correspond / chit-chat with the bank during the short sale because I take care of all of that for them, I add that I

I called Walgreens Pharmacy over on Broadway in Land Park, Sacramento, this morning, right at 8:01, and reached a live person after pressing zero. Don't listen through that whole menu of options at Walgreens -- if you want a live person, just press 0. I figured I better get a prescription refill
