As a day goes for real estate, I imagine today and Monday will be eerily quiet. At least that's my prediction and reason for not feeling guilty that I'm not working away, even though it's a holiday weekend. It's very difficult when you're a top agent in Sacramento to find time to get away, to act

When time is precious and you only have so much of it, even if you're standing in front of an Eileen Fisher outlet in the middle of nowhere in Mt. Shasta of all places, it takes an incredible amount of resistance not to walk inside. But see, this is where I think through things and it's not just

I'm wondering how many home buyers will forget to buy a home today now that the long Labor Day weekend is upon us. It's sort of like people are so busy during the week that they don't have time to pay attention to the important details in their lives such as buying a home in Sacramento. They reac

Obviously, there are teetotalers in this world and recovering alcoholics, not to mention people who just don't like the taste of alcohol alongside those who maybe like it a little bit too much, but if you've never tried bourbon or haven't sipped it lately, you might be missing out on a great plea

I have clients who are looking to rent a home in the Sacramento area, possibly as far as Auburn or in the foothills of Placer County, because they want to be closer to Roseville and Folsom. They are presently waiting for short sale approval, which we already received once before the buyer bailed

I remember the good old horse-and-buggy days when Trulia and Zillow first came riproaring down the street of dreams, flashing homes for sale left and right. I hopped onboard with both of them. Trulia and Zillow both seemed to be going after the same market, but as time went on, I could see clearl

MetroList was down a few weeks back and Sacramento agents were screaming in terror because they couldn't access MLS online. It had something to do with an incompatibility glitch between Metrolist and certain ISP providers, according to the official announcement put out by MetroList. Not that it c
