Why Real Estate….From Deputy Sheriff to Realtor in One Exciting Move   Born at March Air Force Base in Riverside, CA, graduated from Ramona High School & University of California Riverside and have lived in the Inland Empire all my life. I went to work for the county as soon as I graduated from college. I had a great and exciting career but just felt like something was missing? I had worked for the San Bernardino County for 28 years. Great job but was impossible to get time off; never got to go see my daughter play sports or school field trips. I couldn’t take off to take my mother to doctor’s appointments so several times she had to take a taxi. It was an impossible situation and I was unhappy. So one day I met a real estate agent and she said, “Sign up, get the books, study and take t... 09/09/2012

  Barbecuing with our New Steamer Pot       My husband loves to barbecue at least 4-5 times a week. We usually grill fish outside so we do not have any fishy smells inside the house. We decided we should buy a steamer pot that we could use on the barbecue.                 So after searching for a couple of weeks, we finally found the perfect steamer. So we stopped by the store and bought fresh scallops and I cooked some rice.               Oh no....forgot to buy asparagus or broccoli so next time I shop I will pick the veggies up.               But it was still a wonderful dinner.             And then we stepped out for a date and had a drink or two. It was a nice Saturday night.                 California is a dream come true state no matter what your needs or wants are. We have year r... 08/19/2012

  Recently we stayed at a hotel and this chess board and pieces was located outside in the patio area for visitor’s enjoyment. We did not play but I couldn’t resist taking a picture of it.   As I have blogged recently, Time Out,  it is good to take a rest from anything you are doing that is tiring or stressful and to play some short games like chess, crossword puzzles, computer games etc. After a few minutes you will feel better and ready to face any challenges ahead for the day.

  Do you feel like you are always butting heads with others? Your colleagues, boss, kids, family, friends or even your pets. Do they not agree, always have another opinion, feel they are right and you are wrong, or just want to argue to argue?   So what are your options here? Talk it out and listen to their opinion, get a third party to intermediate, or ignore them and stay frustrated.   I just spent 2 days at the zoo and watched the animals there interacting with each other. Interesting enough, most of the animals I observed clashed verbally, bumping heads or antlers or striking with arms (paws). But interesting enough most of these animals immediately made up and sat down together. The fighting seemed to be over territory or food and in the animal world, these are important to them. O... 08/01/2012

“ Aren’t fixed rate reverse mortgages better?” I get this question, or a variation of it at every appointment I go on.  Most people’s first reaction is to go with a fixed rate reverse mortgage.  It’s what we’ve heard thousands of times. “Fixed rate mortgages are the only way to go. I would never get an adjustable.”When you are contemplating a reverse mortgage though you have to look a little closer.   It all depends on your purpose for the loan, how much you need to borrow, what you will be doing with the money from the loan and your intentions for your home.  Remember in the reverse world fixed rate loans are “closed-end loans” and adjustable rate loans are “open-ended”.   Also remember that reverse mortgages require no monthly payments so the interest and mortgage insurance accrue ea... 07/25/2012
