DOCUSIGN: Raved about it, and ranted when banks didn't. - 07/28/11 07:26 PM
Pacita Dimacali posted about DocuSign for which she was an early adopter and advocate.  She convinced her formed Broker to adopt DocuSign for the whole office.  Since I still work for that Broker, I thank her for her insistance that we must have DocuSign.  Most of the agents in the office are grateful for DocuSign and know we have it because of Pacita.  Thanks Pacita.

After my husband completed graduate school and our baby was born, we moved to Alameda.  My husband and I decided that I should stay home and raise our daughter.  Since I am definitely not a stay at home Mom, I looked for places to volunteer.  Happily, my … (13 comments)

DOCUSIGN THE ANSWER TO MY CLIENT'S PRAYERS
 
DOCUSIGN THE ANSWER TO MY CLIENT'S PRAYERS  A customer emailed me about a property my office had on the market and which he was very interested in.  The house was a very nice one level home on the lagoon and the price was at market rate.  He had seen the pictures on line and asked for any disclosure that were available.  I emailed the disclosures and other information I had about the property to him.
 
He subsequently emailed me that he would not be able to see the house because he was … (12 comments)

BRING LAWRENCE BERKELEY NATIONAL LAB TO ALAMEDA  Lawrence Berkeley National Lab is looking for a second home.  Many cities are vying to host the Lab, but it now appears that the race is down to two cities, Richmond and Alameda.
 

 
Alameda's proposal was presented listing several of Alameda's assets including great services, ample green power, accessibility and views.  The proposal also mentioned unique lunchtime options, a food court made out of food trucks.  Alameda has also sweetened the deal by offering LBNL the land at Alameda Point for free.

ALAMEDA'S ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS' FOURTH OF JULY

ALAMEDA'S ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS' FOURTH OF JULY  Well, the Alameda Association of Realtors' entry in the 4th of July parade acquitted itself adequately.  What we lacked in volume and numbers we made up for in spirit.  Some of our members who failed to appear did make our task harder.  But those individuals, I think of them as members of our fine feathered fowl friends, are probably cursing themselves for not participating.
 
Some of the more optimistic of us thought we were a cinch to win the prestigious Mayor's Award.  I wasn't sure … (5 comments)
