Ever since the first blinky blinky green curser in Freenet, I have been in love with the internet. It is especially wonderful for Sacramento real estate because almost everything I do is completed online. It is where we advertise, showcase homes, talk with other agents andĀ ourĀ buyers and seller

Prior to my new listing yesterday (which was a RedBelly client reaching back out to me after realizing the error of his ways), a reporter for Bloomberg News, interviewed me for a RedBelly public relations piece. The reporter probably felt his research was a journalistic effort to tell a balanced

Now, I am not talking about your regular, run-of-the-mill screwballs who often pop up in Sacramento real estate transactions; oh, no, I am talking about the viscious and subdued furious, the hateful people you can't easily recognize. It's one thing if a guy comes to you and admits: look, I've got

Some agents are their own worst enemies. I know you guys know exactly what I mean. The agents who call the listing agents, especially in multiple offer situations, and are extremely rude, demanding and they present a superior attitude, noses in the air. They wrongly think force will win the day a

You cannot ever imagine the incredible pain of wrestling with the decision of whether to put a cat to sleep, euthanize him, when he seems perfectly fine. It's much easier to do when your cat is almost dead. Quite another when he silently suffers. Pica came to live with us 14 years ago as a throw-

Is your refrigerator running? As a kid, I used to love to make prank phone calls and ask random people that question, just so I could say: well, you better go catch it, hang up and erupt into fits of laughter. How long ago was that? OK, I did that again just last week. Maybe not. Maybe I thought
