I hear people, friends, colleagues, and even clients talk about security all the time. I always ask the question, what are you talking about? What kind of security? More often than not, people are talking not about home safety but rather about financial security and how it will effect them today,

There are so many expressions that make me crazy and "whenever" is one of them. The implication is simple, your time isn't important, but mine is or nothing about this matters. Casual toss offs are troublesome. Sometimes a client, a neighbor, or sadly even a friend will use this this expression a

I am amazed and it doesn't happen often. A perfect storm has occurred and this is the time to buy. Realtors always say that interest rates are the lowest in years: now they are simply the lowest in my lifetime and I am eligible for a senior discount. There is inventory to spare now and winter is

I find again and again, that the only person I can rely upon is myself. It isn't easy to say or admit, but in my case it is true. Whether we are talking business or even personally, no one cares about my time or priorities more than I do, and that is just as it should be. Preparing to move I have

Two houses....one new to me, one personalized, both painted yesterday. I am not a linen white type of person but apparently, that's what sells so linen white it is in the existing home and colors galore otherwise. Step away from the process: listen, do and get on with it. So I am living in a spac
