You Say Sink or Swim so I am Swimming Fast   I have prepared myself to make videos and even bought a small video camera that anyone could operate. I set up my Youtube account but never make videos or posted any.  This month when I went to Sacramento for Legislative Day, I had my iphone and someone had showed me recently how to make a video on my phone. When the opening song started, they were singing 'The Star Spangled Banner" so I videotaped it. Unfortunately it held my phone sideways and so the video plays upside down. The singer is a real estate agent and has a beautiful voice. Unfortunately it is sideways and I have attempted to correct it by Googling ways to rotate the video. I followed the instructions it but couldn't get it to stay. I must go to the Apple Store and have them show... 05/31/2014

Mama Squirrel Cannot Get Down the Squirrel Hole Nature in Yucaipa and Calimesa   Every morning on my way to work, I see this squirrel standing up in the field. She is a tall squirrel and looks like she is expecting. She usually just poses for me but today after I got out of the car to get a little closer. She tried to get down the squirrel hole but the hole was too small and her bottom was still sticking out. Even nature has overweight problems. (she is sticking out between the two silver pipes) Thanks for Reading my Blog......... California is a dream-come-true state no matter what your needs or wants are.

Rabbits Showing up this Spring in the Inland Empire Recently I have seen many rabbits hanging around under bushes and running across the streets. These little cottontail bunnies are so cute. The picture I took here here shows a tiny baby bunny sitting by my car.   He ran off so fast that I couldn't find him. Yesterday a bunny knocked on the back french door.

A Beautiful Surprise in My Garden   I love these Nasturniums plants but I do not have much luck with them. I carried a pot  that I thought was geraniums to my new house and this morning I noticed it was blooming but instead of Geraniums they were Nasturniums instead. What a  nice surprise!                                 You cannot buy the plant but have buy seeds and soak them and put them in dirt and they usually grow and then die off before blooming. Some people call them weeds but I love them andd they will hang off a wall beauifully. Thanks for Stopping by......

  Dog Watching Bird Watching Dog This was so funny as the birds were sitting on my new chaise lounge we put on the patio. Slowy, Coco crept up to the glass door and then the birds were looking back.

Why is Real Estate and a Bird Stuck in a Building Sometimes Similar   Yesterday I was in my local market which has high exposed ceilings with skylights. I saw a flash of something go past me and after watching a few times I realized it was a bird. The bird was stuck inside and didn't seem to know how to get out. The skylight looked to be closed and sealed and I am still not sure how he even got inside. I finally got a clear picture when the bird rested for a few seconds. So while driving home and thinking about the poor bird, it reminded me of real estate and how agents sometimes get stuck in the building meaning we try something; farming, bus stops, mailers, signs, websites, etc and get stuck here doing the same thing. If it works great but if it doesn't, why keep banging your head aga... 04/18/2014

My First Real Estate Transaction-Scary and Fun   My brokerage was really big on farming and door hanging so since I had no business, I decided to make up some flyers and go down about 10 streets in Redlands, CA and hang them up. I would quietly sneak up to the doors and place them on the knobs without disturbing the dogs inside as I really didn't want any confrontation.   In my Real Estate 2 week training, the brokers covered FBSO's a lot but I thought that was not for me. Then on my first day of farming, I come across a FBSO sign and I thought I could do this. I walked up on the porch and rapped quietly....maybe they won't hear me I thought. Nope, no luck as they both came to the door and I said with a voice that cracked with fear “Hi, I am a real estate agent and wondered if you would... 04/17/2014

ActiveRain Grasshopper.............Needs Help With Google+ Posting Problem       Just recently about March 16th, I started having problems posting my blogs onto my Google+ Page. Before I never had any issues and this was before the Trulia merge so it should not be the cause.  When I try to post my blog onto Google+ from AR, a message comes up and says "Your post was not shared. Please try again". This has been very frustrating so is there anyone out there in AR Land who can assist me to get this resolved. Even if I add the link directly to Google+, I get the same message.     Thanks for Reading my Blog..... 04/11/2014

Real estate has definitely been on a roller coaster ride since real estate became over-priced in 2004-2005, through the crash that started in 2007 and continued until 2012. Now real estate in 2014 has a new challenge. Buyers are cooling off, due to increasing prices, still-stagnant fear about the economy, lending still in a vice grip, and sellers still believing they are in a seller's market. If you're considering selling your home in Yucaipa, or any other area in Southern California, believe me when I say that the lack of inventory and buyers having difficulty finding a home to buy does not mean over-priced homes will sell. Only sellers willing to be honest about market value will sell their homes in this market. Unfortunately we are seeing many sellers with this attitude; and the wors... 04/11/2014
