Hi All,I hope a wonderful day has been had by all. Mine has been... interesting. I met a nice lady who is looking to sell her home as a FSBO, more on that in future installments... My hubby and I finally got to go out for dinner later than we planned as he had to work late (of all the nights :-

Hi All,One of the things that we are all taught in our figurative Real Estate cradles is that the best way to get clients is by referral and that the best referrals are those that come from your sphere of influence (friends, family, current and former clients, etc.). While this is quite true, I

Hi All,A few days ago I rambled about preparing to walk my farm during a rainy day passing out rubber ducks. I said I would let you all know how that worked out. So, here goes... In the style of "Dragnet"... Dum de dum dum... This is the City... Claremont, California, the furthest edge of Los A

Hi All,I am sitting here in my cozy living room listening to the rain on my roof and the snoring of my cat. I hear one sound often and the other rarely. Living here in beautiful Claremont California I bet you can guess which is which. The mountains are as white as... well... snow and the view

Hi All,I spent a good bit of time in my car recently traveling the highways and byways of the Los Angeles Freeway system. It was more highway than byway and it is a darn good thing that I like my Prius because the trips that should have taken 45 minutes or so tops were running about double that.

Hi All,I did something stupid. I didn't know it was stupid at the time. I actually thought it was quite bright, but now I see the light and realize the folly of my ways. I managed to injure myself blogging. How can you do that? Apparently pretty easily. All you need to do is spend the bette

Hi All,Long time, no talk. I know that after Inman I pretty much fell off the face of the earth for a while, but I think I really needed to. The Project Blogger experience was one of the most intense in my life and I really needed to regroup, re-evaluate and re-energize myself a bit before I sa
