I realize that sellers know us Land Park agents are familiar enough with real estate in our own neighborhoods, especially when we live in Land Park on top of selling homes in Land Park, that we should know instintictively the value of a home in Land Park. I do know pretty much what a three-bedroo

I am not saying that Sacramento real estate agents who discount commissions are assholes, far from it -- because assholes are a whole 'nother separate story in itself that have nothing to do with real estate commissions. It's that I want to talk about both because discounting a real estate commis

In a conversation with my sister last night, she asked how she could go about selling her home. She lives in Minneapolis and they've had an unusually hard winter this year, but every winter in Minnesota can be difficult. I don't know if she's really ready to move yet but when she eventually is re

Over the years of selling real estate in Sacramento, I've discovered that it's almost impossible not to eventually list a home in which the seller stores guns. Not that I run into that many gun-toting sellers, mind you. At least not like Martin Freeman in that TV series Fargo. Many sellers keep t

Somedays you just get lucky. You're in the right place at the right time. Like when I moved to Sacramento many years ago and went back to selling real estate. Right place, right time. Look at yesterday, I had hopped over to Macy's at the downtown Sacramento mall for a needed errand. Wow, is that

I recall as a kid the worst thing I could imagine about growing old was turning into a vegetable and losing my mind. Of course, I grew up during the 1950s, back when being bombed out of existance was a very real possiblity to a little kid. I would often smugly announce to my family and friends th

A front-page story in the Sacramento Bee says homeownership in Sacramento has fallen to the lowest point ever over the past 40 years, but this is a fact that real estate agents in our region have been warning about for a long time. Others will probably look at this phenomenon and pooh: oh, who ca
