This weekend I showed houses to some of the nicest clients I have had in a long time. They were friendly, kind, appreciative, happy, and ready to buy.

My email is still iffy on receiving. I also posted on facebook that I was hacked. Even my bank called me. I hope no one e...

Photos of listed homes for sale need to be changed and refreshed each few months. This gives the listing a new perspective and also an accurate view of the home. Just moving some items in the home and changing the lighting can make a difference in how the home is viewed online. You only get one c...

For the first time ever, I asked a listing agent yesterday to prepare a Notice to Perform for my buyer. The buyer has not deposited the earnest money for over 2 weeks. They also have not provided proof of funds. They have done a home inspection. They are communicating but not doing anything. In t...

My agents and I have been doing mastermind groups for many years. We share ideas on marketing, closing, prospecting and so on. We have a Japanese friend coming from Hawaii this weekend who has not been to the mainland very often. We wanted to make places to show here around our area and show her ...
