This will be my last post for a few weeks on Active Rain and in my Land Park Blog. I have to focus on one social outlet when I'm off to Cuba, and that will be my personal blog on my Elizabeth Weintraub website. Although we have house sitters taking care of the homestead in Land Park and our critt

My husband struggles a bit with being on time. I read another blog on AR this morning that talked about punctuality and made me reflect. Adam is often a wire balancing act when it comes down to punctuality, sometimes late, but he blames it on his former newspaper reporter mentality regarding dead

When I mentioned to Joan Cox, who is meeting up with us during our 4-hour layover in Denver on Christmas Day (YAY!), that I'm still working on closing out my last 6 transactions for the year in Sacramento, she asked how I can do it when I'm leaving on Christmas in 3 days. Joan also asked whether

When clients ask me how much worse can it get, I don't like to answer that question because it involves too many variables, and the way I figure it is why cross the bridge twice. They don't really need to know all the ways things can go wrong because they might never ever happen.It's common curio

My sister says from my blog it looks like I am running all over Big Island with Hella, and I guess we have been. It's quite the rollercoaster with Hella. And when you throw me into the mix, there is no telling what can happen. It's been wild and hilarious. Everything has flowed so smoothly, too,

I am very grateful to Hella Rothwell for sticking with me to buy a home in Hawaii. As I mentioned to her a few days ago, she took a long shot with me. I mean, granted, she was in Oahu anyway visiting her family but she still hopped a plane, rented a car and took time out of her schedule to show m

Just another day in paradise with Hella Rothwell in Big Island. In reviewing another document for our purchase contract on the home we are buying in Hawaii, Hella brought it to my attention that it asked if the buyer was a member of NAR. Did I have to disclose that I'm a licensed real estate brok
