There are lots of different buyers in the world of real estate but the common thread is that everyone wants to be able to get a deal when they buy a house. When a new buyer client calls who wants to buy a house that needs work, that’s usually code for that exact desire. But what do you, the buyer...

I was raised in a home where volunteering was part of the thread of our lives. Whether it was the child whose bicycle broke down in front of our house and who was then invited to the porch for some koolaid icecubes on a hot summer day while my Dad fixed their bike, or riding along with Mom and Da...

As the Executor of her neighbor’s will and estate, my sister was researching details for the funeral. If you’ve never had to do so, you’d be amazed by all the decisions to be made along the way, even if there’s a will. Engrossed in her search, she wasn’t fully aware of the virtual fingerprints sh...

I had finished a long day of work and joined one of my daughters for sushi at a favorite local restaurant. I watched the rain pummelling the ground, lashing and whipping about like a gna...

Driving into a small shopping center today, a couple was walking towards my car from the right. Where they were isn’t a place with a stop sign and most pedestrians let the cars go first. I didn’t realize till I got to that exact spot that the man didn’t intend to stop, though he still wasn’t in t...

You might say… but you’re a female. It’s true, though. It was an inclusion when I moved into this world. Mom and Dad both donated a defective X chromosome and voila! I’m red-green color blind. I learned today that my type has a more specific name than that. I could have been born a Protan, or eve...

Working late into the evening last night, as I’ve frequently been doing, I had left my client’s house and was headed back down the interstate. In the darkness, I saw a shadow. You know how you can see the fuzzy image of your eyelashes or your hair… not when you’re looking in the mirror, but right...
