Today is Harvey Milk Day! He was born on May 22, 1930, in Woodmere, NY. He will go on to become the first openly gay elected official in California and work nonviolently for civil rights for the LGBTQ community. This was a picture I took last year while in Washington for the NAGLREP housing policy summit to talk about fair housing and to talk about how important it is that each of our representatives knew about the #EqualityAct. This was one of the displays at the #RiseUpExhibit @newseum   05/22/2020

  Cathcing up ActiveRain with my Facebook post from personal posts.   We have evacuated with Max and Sammy. The first picture is from the front porch, the second was us stopping to get gas at the corner of 393, there is a fire watch party there. The third is the update evacuation map which covered our neighborhood. Theresia Roberts you were on it and texted us before it was in the news, we got packed and out before the evacuation. Thank you to everyone reaching out to ask if we are ok. Facebook had up a mark safe option within a couple hours, I think thats a nice tool that they have rolled out.           05/22/2020

Do I Qualify for a Destin to 30A Short Sale because of the Corona Virus?  The key to a successful short sale is a Financial Hardship.  The Corona Virus is devistating to our economy and I feel that it will create a legitimate financial hardship for many.  If our real estate market continues to decline after the Corona Virus crisis, a short sale might be your best option.What is a Short Sale? A short sale takes place when the sales price of the property does not support the loan against the property.  The owner must show the lender that there is a financial hardship and negotiate a settlement or a full forgiveness of debt.  The short sale can help to prevent a foreclosure or a bankruptcy.  A short sale will most likely have a negative impact on your credit, but the impact is not as sever... 03/30/2020

People tend to do business with those folks they know, like and trust.  I am not sure where I first heard this line but it has stayed with me for many a year.   And it explains alot.  I have heard many times that I am going to do business with xxx.  She just got her Real Estate license and our kids play soccer together.  It may not make sense in the long term but if it works for you.  Great.   You really should interview several agents and do business with the one who meets most of your criteria.  I can provide a list of questions that needs to be discussed if you contact me.    You can trust me to keep your needs front and center in order to find your perfect home.  Let me know when you're ready to get started.   #thehelpfulagent #helpful #home #houseexpert #realestate #listreports #re... 03/09/2020

A, B, C, or D? What makes a house a home? A home is definitely a place where the heart lives.  It can have both good and bad feelings but a first step to making a home is to add that certain element which aids the transition from a house, a building with walls and a roof, to a home.    Leave me a comment and let me know which one would make a house a home for you!    #home #thehelpfulagent #houseexpert #housetohome #listreports #realestate #realestateagent 03/06/2020

That is the same way you find a Realtor you can trust.   Not all doctors are created equal.  Experience does matter. Doctors tend to speciaize in different areas.  This is a good thing.  You dont need a brain surgeon to treat your cold. What are you thoughts and feelings about getting treated by a recent medical school graduate?  It takes time to develop into a good doctor who can be trusted.  All my doctors are younger than me these days but it didn't used to be that way. This is not a column about how to find a doctor, but all of my comments about doctors can be directly applied to a Real Estate agent.  Experience does matter.  Knowledge is key.   Select a Realtor the same way you might select a Doctor.  Interview several, ask the right questions and then make a decision based upon th... 03/05/2020
