A few weeks back, my office assistants called to say a for sale sign that had been installed in front of a Natomas listing was found lying in an open field quite a ways from the property. At the time, I chalked it up to kids playing a prank. We returned the sign to the property and reinstalled it

I call them emergency listings. I don't know what other agents call them or how they refer to the people who did not need an agent yesterday, no thank you, sir, but desperately require a Realtor's services today, this very minute. The last listing I took like this was a probate trust sale, and th

Life gets more exciting as you grow older because along the way you learn there is so much more to learn that if you lived ten times or 100 times longer than is humanly possible, you could still never learn everything there is to know, but a book like Basin and Range could help to get you there.

Sure I could write about the things I am grateful for on Thanksgiving but who really gives a crap about what I think or care about? That doesn't mean I don't enjoy reading about things other people are grateful for because I sorta like being granted access to people's innermost thoughts and feeli

When you cannot make up worse stuff about an FHA short sale, then you just stick to the facts. Which is what I have done in my blog today. In the rare occassions when I have had to break bad news to a seller, I call the seller and speak on the phone. I would never send an email or text with bad n

There are a couple of bronze statues and one with acrylic paint over a fiber and steel structure that are Sacramento public art near our convention center. The three art pieces are situated in a park near three other Sacramento landmarks: the Sacramento Convention Center, Sacramento Community Ce

We still sell houses in Sacramento in December, and it's much easier than, say, selling a home in Minneapolis in December. A little rain never hurt anybody, and temperatures are still mild in Sacramento. We have sunny days as well. When you live in a place where the weather is never all that dram
