This morning I received an offer on behalf of my sellers, and it contained a document that was probably attached by accident by the buyer's agent. That page reflected the names of sellers who were not my sellers. To me, that could be a red flag. As the Sacramento listing agent for my sellers, I n

I know an agent who once told me she doesn't like to work with sellers because they are too crabby and demanding. Of course, that's the type of people I work with the most. My team members tend to exclusively work with buyers but together we make a great team. Collectively, we have years of exper

I am thrilled that I have my island-hopping trip to Vanautu finally scheduled for this winter holiday, and I can fully concentrate and focus on my sellers without any distractions. Did you know that Vanautu has been rated as one of the happiest places on earth among its residents? It also scores

Much as I want to help everybody, I have decided that I will stop handing out expert advice to home sellers who don't hire me to sell their home, because it doesn't make sense to go on a listing presentation, get asked a bazillion questions, and then find out the seller days ago hired her brother

There are generally three ways to build a case for what's happening in the Sacramento real estate market. There is the method favored by most real estate agents and brokerages, which is pick a fact and blow the crap out of it, like, whoa, pending sales are up over last month, this means you can m
