What can I say, I love to go to Il Fornaio towards the end of the day for a Latte. Not only has it quieted down by then, but it lengthens my work day with that extra shot of caffeine. Luckily several of my commercial clients in Carmel-by-the-Sea want to extend their business day as well so we go ...

Real estate agents normally don't like the sellers to be there at a showing, but there are the exceptions. Say the home is older and they have lived in it for many years, it can be a joy to listen to their history in the home. Let's say they moved and raised their family there, the sellers know a...

How many times have I dealt with buyers and sellers and their agents who are trying to keep something from me and, in the end, the truth will always come out.

Not because I don't have a whole lot of material, and not because I don't want to! But I am working with quite a few new clients on a whole variety of deals and I just can't talk about it.

Yesterday, a friend and I had lunch at Rocky Point, just south of Carmel-by-the-Sea on the Big Sur Coast. The vistas were, as usual, unbelievable, the weather was clear and sunny with a temperature about 70 degrees. In short, it couldn't have been a better day! And the whales agreed with us, they...

Birthdays, I have found, can be fun and they can be a disappointment, especially after you've had quite a few like I have. When I say "disappointment" it is when you leave them in the hands of your near and dear to make them memorable. With age comes wisdom, and I now make sure certain friends of...

Carmel Valley on the Monterey Peninsula in California just south of San Jose and east of Carmel-by-the-Sea (vs. the one in the San Diego area) is a beautiful area to live for many reasons.
