I remember six or so months ago when you would take a look at a house and know that the price was high and you could underbid. Not so, not lately. I have noticed in the last few months that if you want a house-a nice house in a good neighborhood in Southern California you have to be ready to over...

Not everyone has GPS and so we have to rely on internet driving directions. I have been burned by Mapquest and so my site of choice is Google maps. Now don’t get me wrong, Google has let me astray too. There are pros and cons to every mapping site. Here are the most popular: MapQuest Ask.com Goog...

I just finished reading a great book, The Traveler’s Gift by Andy Andrews. It was a great book, a short read with a lot of valuable and timeless lessons for life and for real estate. So, I thought I would share five reads (that have something to do with real estate). In random order: 1. The Trave...

A tornado hit the scout ranch in Little Sioux, Iowa.  93 scouts and 25 adults were divided into two groups when the storm struck. One was in camp, but the other was out hiking on the 1,800-acre Little Sioux Scout Ranch. Over forty boys were injured, four were killed. Killed were Aaron Eilerts, 14...

I work hard for my clients. Sometimes when I meet people socially they ask me if Real Estate is "all" I do or if it is something I do part-time. I know that some people use Real Estate to supplement their income but Real Estate is not a part-time job. I want to give clients the best customer serv...

I like to think of myself as a "neighborhood expert". That means I have to not only be aware of what is going on in my community, but be ready to give the information to someone else-whether they ask for it or not.
