On the points summary page it lists bonus points and other points. I have no bonus points and 50 other points. How did I get these? How can I keep getting them?

I was reading a real estate principals textbook today from a college course I’m taking to finish my degree. It mentioned that some of the best lessons we learn professionally are those we learn from our mistakes, or from the “school of hard knocks”. When I first started doing Virtual Escrow for o...

Do you all realize what a fantastic resource Active Rain is? I was pondering the concepts of supply and demand this morning (I know, real exciting way to start my day) and how the concepts relate to the real estate industry right now.

One of my absolute favorite places to go in Foothill Ranch (besides shopping and restaurants!) is Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park. Located at the northern side of town, the park has two official entrances and boasts as many trail variations as hikers and mountain bikers can ask for. It's a beautifu...

I've realized something interesting through the past couple weeks of being a blogger and reading other people's blogs. What made it even more interesting is how it coincides with my personal life. I am ever struggling to get people to comment on this blog. Call it a need for attention, validation...

I'm tired of telling you what I think. It's time for you to tell me what you think! A couple weeks ago I started a weekly, Friday post called "Get to Know Me Fridays" to make sure I add a personal touch to my posting.
