A buyer's agent in Sacramento sent me an email yesterday just as I got out of my car at my seller's home in the Twelve Bridges neighborhood in Lincoln. I stopped dead in my 6-inch platforms in the hot glaring sun of the driveway to respond. The agent had asked if my Natomas seller would take abou...

Certain agents must believe that what they say never will come back to haunt or that a seller won't remember exactly what they said or will even care to repeat it, but those agents would probably be wrong on those accounts. Sellers do remember what agents say and it often leaves a bad taste in th...

How did we get to such a place in time where so many people hate their jobs? I rarely run into people who tell me how much they like their jobs anymore, unless maybe they are a real estate agent, and even then sometimes they are somehow forced to quantify the love they feel for their job by expla...

The million dollar question every seller in Sacramento wants to know is how long it will take to sell that home. It's Monday morning, which means it's time to upate all of my showings and figure out if any of my listings need to be tweaked, photos moved around or altered, verbiage updated, more n...

Because I had to "take it easy" on doctor's orders after getting four dental implants screwed into my jaw on Friday, I spent a lot of time yesterday with my friend, the iPad. My other friends, the desktop computer and my laptop computer were resting comfortably on my office desk, but my iPad is t...

When buyer's agents call me to ask how many offers we have received for a home for sale in Sacramento, it's generally because they want to know if their buyer needs to offer list price. They think that if we don't have an offer, the seller will accept a lower offer, even if that home has only bee...

An agent from a small brokerage called to say she has a buyer who has expressed an interest in one of my super hot listings. He wants to buy a home in Elk Grove, but this particular buyer's agent is too busy to show him the home. She said she has many other buyers to show homes to; however, since...

If I can't find humor in my day as a Sacramento real estate agent, it only means I haven't looked hard enough. My car is in the shop, still, as some of you may recall. I banged the front spoiler several times, backed into a cement block and then carved out a nice groove by slipping sideways over ...

It's hard enough to flip homes in Sacramento and make a profit when you have a rich daddy who borrows on stock margins, like a couple of guys who are out in Natomas writing offers hand over fist and can't manage to perform on, but no money at all? That's what some dude named Chief Denney (who nam...

If it were up to this Sacramento listing agent -- and it's probably a good thing it's not -- I would consider asking certain buyers to take a lie detection test and pass a Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory Test before the whack jobs are allowed to buy a home in Sacramento. I swear, it m...
