My niece, Laura, is convinced that she can't go into real estate because it would mean having to work with people she just can't stand, and she steadfastly refuses to compromise her ethics in that manner. For the life of me, I don't know where she gets that sentiment, and I don't mean that in a j

Amy McMullan is a force to be reckoned with -- you can see her coming but when she passes by, you won't know what hit you except that you will be a better person for it. I can't be more excited than if you told me there is a real program for losing weight without modifying your food intake nor e

My husband and I spent Thanksgiving night in Oakland rather than drive back to Sacramento, and our remarkable sitters took care of the house and cats in our absence. As a surprise, my husband suggested we visit the Rosie the Riveter World War II Home Front National Historic Park in Richmond, Cali

You sit in your chair as an agent for a good part of your day, if you're a full-time agent. Part-time agents have lots of time to do other things: go shopping, plant gardens, watch TV, read books, tend to kids, pets, whatever they do when they're not selling real estate. But full-time agents, esp

There are many pho restaurants on Stockton Boulevard in Sacramento to choose among, and many in Sacramento itself. We often go to the Pho restaurant in Land Park because it's so convenient to our house, but yesterday we visited another place on Stockton Blvd. just north of Fruitridge and to the e

Any home seller and home buyer in town can benefit from hiring a Sacramento real estate team because you've always got more than one agent working on your behalf. Your particular agent could be with another client or taking a break for lunch and, if you need immediate assistance, you can request
