 Last week I got a great phone call.  Damon and Heidi had decided to move back home to Eureka, California and wanted to sell their home…fast.  They contacted their former Realtor, Danni, who is now a lender.  Danni was thrilled because she knew I was already working with a buyer that wanted a hom...

 You Can’t Get There From Here!  This is a common joke when someone asks for directions.  As a patrol officer, I would use this joke to effectively relieve the tension in a lost motorist who was completely frustrated and asking me for directions.  It always worked well.  How do I get to Disneylan...

This is a story of installing an attic fan.  During a home inspection last week, we came across this attic fan.  I'm getting ahead of myself.

This may be one of the most popular urban legends in CA real estate: Does California Require a Termite Inspection? The short answer is "No." I just got a text from a client who is in escrow to buy a home in Orange.  We had their property inspection earlier today.  He wanted a referral for a termi...

 Out of Hibernation / Time to Feast “You’re back Vic!” – That’s a phrase I have heard many times in the last few months.  “It’s good to have you back!”,  “I missed you!”.  It made me realize that I have apparently been in hibernation.  Growing up in Alaska; I am very familiar with the hungry eati...
