      <title>San Bruno Concerts in the Park 2009</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;San Bruno concerts in the park&quot; src=&quot;http://www.pruvoices.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/sb-concerts.jpg&quot; height=&quot;216&quot; alt=&quot;San Bruno concerts in the park&quot; width=&quot;288&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Oh boy! I am so excited! San Bruno Park puts on concerts every Friday in August starting at 6:00 pm&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the last two summers I made homemade gourmet popcorn and put them in sandwhich bags for my kids to sell for .50 cents&amp;nbsp;each. They were so darn cute! My 4 year old daughter carried her metal pail full of popcorn and my 8 year old son collected the money! I have pictures somewhere that I need to find and post!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyways, this year's 2009 schedule looks like this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aug 7th- Livewire (Dance Party Band)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aug 14- Unauthorized Rolling Stones (Tribute Band)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aug 21- Cocktail Monkeys (Classic Rock, Pop, Variety)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aug 28 Dave Crimmen (50's Rock n Roll)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Be sure to come and if you see me or my kids selling popcorn, tell us you read our blog! Thanks!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Karin Cunningham-&quot;Your San Bruno real estate specialist at your service!&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Lee Ginsburg&quot; src=&quot;http://www.pruvoices.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/001-300x225.jpg&quot; height=&quot;225&quot; alt=&quot;Lee Ginsburg&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lee Ginsburg-&quot;San Bruno residential and investment specialist!&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lee Ginsburg and I worked a booth at the San Bruno Farmer's Market last Sunday and had such a blast! We are always trying to think of ways to promote our buyers and sellers &amp;nbsp;and when we heard that the &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://sanbrunochamber.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;San Bruno Chamber of Commerce&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;was offering booths to promote businesses, we thought it was a great idea for us! Since our office, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://prucal.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prudential California Realty&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;,&amp;nbsp;is in San Bruno, I live in San Bruno, I do a good portion of my business in San Bruno, not to mention my kids go to school and play sports here, I knew a good amount of people that walked by! It was a really great experience!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;San Bruno Farmer's Market&quot; src=&quot;http://www.pruvoices.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/004-300x225.jpg&quot; height=&quot;225&quot; alt=&quot;San Bruno Farmer's Market&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;San Bruno Farmer's Market&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Peach Girls!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It was also great meeting the farmers and workers at the Farmer's Market! I found out how the different farms work and promote themselves. I learned which fruit and vegetables were in season like tomatoes are best in the springtime because in the summer they are quite ripe! Hierloom tomatoes, my favorite, are expensive for the growers therefore they are more expensive for the consumer. They are quite a specialty! Blueberries, peaches and plums are ready to go right NOW!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;&amp;quot;Oh my gosh! The BEST blueberries in town!&amp;quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.pruvoices.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/006-300x225.jpg&quot; height=&quot;225&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;289&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Oh my gosh! The BEST blueberries in town!&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;The San Bruno Farmer's Market is going on every Sunday 10-2 pm through October! Check it out! I hope to see you there!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>San Bruno Farmers Market is a GREAT success!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;San Bruno Farmer's Market&quot; src=&quot;http://www.pruvoices.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/farmers-market-1.jpg&quot; height=&quot;357&quot; alt=&quot;San Bruno Farmer's Market&quot; width=&quot;263&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you haven't heard, the San Bruno Farmer's Market started on Sunday, June 21st and is continuing every Sunday through October from 10-2pm!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Downtown Sundays will have live music, fresh fruit and vegetables, flowers, specialty breads and international food.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you haven't checked it out, I highly recommend swinging by! I was there on the first day and enjoyed picking out a variety of strawberries, blackberries and blueberries. I also bought some carrots, all kinds of summer squashes, and peaches! They were all delicious!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There was also a kettle corn booth, a booth for coloring and laminating commemorative pins, and a featured business. This event is put on by the &lt;a href=&quot;www.sanbrunochamber.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;San Bruno Chamber of Commerce&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;so a featured business is an appropriate and great way for a business to promote themselves! (That means you'll see me there one day, for sure!)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you don't have plans on a Sunday this summer, try to make it to the San Bruno Farmer's Market! It's a great local event you won't want to miss!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;From 1899 to 1964, the Tanforan Race Track had it's glories and it's depression.&lt;br /&gt;1899-1918: There was horse racing, airplane racing and car racing.&lt;br /&gt;During WWI: The track was used as a training area and had tents to house the troops.&lt;br /&gt;1923: A new grandstand was built.&lt;br /&gt;1937-1940: Seabiscuit became the biggest money winner in horse racing.&lt;br /&gt;1941: WWII began and became a gathering area for over 4,000 Japanese-Americans subject to relocation. Following the war, Tanforan re-opened and continued its racing schedule.&lt;br /&gt;1964: After all racing stopped, a fire detroyed the track.&lt;br /&gt;1971: Tanforan reincarnated as a shopping center!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;The San Bruno Dale Wilson 4th of July Memorial Tournement was an awesome event! The 7-8 year old &quot;Bruno&quot; team came from behind in two of their games and won the championship title undefeated! San Bruno has always had a passion for Pee Wee leagues and All Stars. It's a great American feeling in San Bruno when you mix BBQ, legal &quot;safe and sane&quot; fireworks and lots of baseball games at San Bruno Park!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>San Bruno Real Estate &quot;Shake Up&quot;!</title>
      <description>&lt;dt&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;skycrest-tuscan&quot; src=&quot;http://www.pruvoices.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/skycrest-tuscan.jpg&quot; height=&quot;169&quot; alt=&quot;Skycrest Village- New Homes- San Bruno&quot; width=&quot;242&quot; /&gt;&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd&gt;Skycrest Village- New Homes- San Bruno&lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From the Skycrest Village, new homes in San Bruno, to the bank owned fixer uppers, San Bruno homes for sale are feeling the shift of a real estate &quot;shake up&quot;! Inventory over the past few weeks has dwindled down to a mere 40 homes for sale and 15 condos. That's not too many when you consider that San Bruno consists of &lt;a href=&quot;http://profiles.nationalrelocation.com/California/San%20Bruno/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;14,677 households&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;More...&quot; src=&quot;http://www.pruvoices.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over the past 2 weeks 14 homes have &quot;pending sales&quot;. That's one sale per day in just 2 weeks! We haven't seen movement in the market like that in quite some time. The recent average sale price according to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://pro.mlslistings.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;San Mateo County MLS (Multiple Listing Service)&lt;/a&gt; is $470,000.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Currently, there are 2 two bedroom condos for sale at &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;the Peninsula Place Condominium complex listed at $279,000&lt;/a&gt;. Great opportunity for investment or living in close proximity to the airport and San Francisco. There are also still some great little ranch style homes for sale in the $300,000 range.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;San Bruno real estate is prime property because of its nice weather, living on the better side of a fog belt, it's closeness to San Francisco and all of the conveniences and comforts of living in community that cares about its citizens. People are drawn to San Bruno for it's rich and diverse cultures, awesome &lt;a href=&quot;http://sanbruno.ca.gov/parks_main.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;parks and recreation activites&lt;/a&gt;, and dedicated &lt;a href=&quot;http://sbpsd.k12.ca.us/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;school system&lt;/a&gt;, as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;mastick-229000&quot; src=&quot;http://www.pruvoices.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/mastick-229000.jpg&quot; height=&quot;199&quot; alt=&quot;Bank owned fixer upper!&quot; width=&quot;265&quot; /&gt;&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd&gt;San Bruno bank owned fixer upper!&lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It's great to see this activity in the market. It's not centralized to the lower priced homes, either! Recently, I was involved in a &quot;bidding war&quot; for a house in the Rollingwood area of San Bruno&amp;nbsp;which was handsomely priced at $564,000. This was a 4 bedroom, 2 bath home in average shape. We were up against 5 offers in less that one week!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The lower priced homes do generally get more multiple offers and a lot of them are being bought &quot;all cash&quot;. Imagine that! I think the real estate &quot;slow down&quot; in San Bruno has pick up the pace and has buyers and sellers making new decisions of whether or not&amp;nbsp;to buy or sell. It's a win win situation for both sides, it seems to me!&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Signs of a Real Estate Rebound</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I am not one of profound wisdom, but I am hearing some positive signs of real estate making a turn around, a turn around for the better!&amp;nbsp;Basically, the thinking goes like this, &quot;Hmmm, real estate values are down, not only do I still have my job but I have some cash sitting around, and rates are very low - and may not go lower. So maybe I will stop renting and buy a place (or pick up that non-owner occupied property, or that vacation home), or at least see what is out there.&quot; The market will tell you that at some price, there is a buyer for everything.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;San Francisco, the San Mateo Peninsula, East Bay and South Bay are experiencing a surge in homebuyers who are jumping off the fence to try and get their hands on property that they could have only wished they could afford a few years ago. Check out the news link below to see what I'm talking about!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://cbs5.com/business/real.estate.sales.2.956968.html&quot; title=&quot;blocked::http://cbs5.com/business/real.estate.sales.2.956968.html&quot;&gt;http://cbs5.com/business/real.estate.sales.2.956968.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;easton-344900&quot; src=&quot;http://www.pruvoices.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/easton-344900.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; id=&quot;_x0000_i1025&quot; height=&quot;199&quot; alt=&quot;easton-344900&quot; width=&quot;265&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here's another example:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;San Bruno 2 bedroom/ 1 bath&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Listed at $344,900 just went pending with approximately 20 offers!!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>The Real Estate Therapist is &quot;IN&quot;!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Real estate therapy for the home buyer, home seller and home owner&amp;nbsp;is a pretty common request these days. Some of the most frequently asked questions start &amp;nbsp;from what the current value of a home is in order to make a decent offer or sale&amp;nbsp;to how one could lower their property taxes. It's a different market out there in real estate but there are some interesting things going on!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is the current value of the home you are placing a bid on anyways?&lt;/strong&gt;We got Zillow telling us one thing and the seller telling us another! It's tough to come up with decent comparables in some cases where there hasn't been a sale in months. We know that the value has dropped but what should we base our offer on? In many cases we have to base the offering price on comparable &quot;active&quot; properties. We have to check how long these homes have been on the market and if they have had any activity! Comparing the &quot;active&quot; homes and their condition, square footage, and location should help determine the current vale of a home in this market. This is also helpful information for people trying to sell.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How can I lower my property taxes? &lt;/strong&gt;There is buzz all over town about lowering our property taxes and the good thing is, is you CAN! All it takes is filling out one form with the current value of your home&amp;nbsp;compared to the &quot;higher&quot; price you purchased it for along with some handy recent comparable sales that you get from your Realtor. This package is turned in to your county recorders office and put to review. This could save you hundreds of dollars per year!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>How to Rock Real Estate Sales in 2009!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;If you are a full time real estate agent in the Bay Area, you may relate to some of what I am saying. It may not work for all &quot;necks of the wood&quot; but I have some strategies that really work. I know from experience. I had a lousy 2006 and 2007 in real estate sales...the worst ever even! Then 2008 came along and to my surprise, it started AND ended with a BANG!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The best thing I never stopped doing was prospecting. I took to heart a simple lesson that was bestowed upon us by our training broker, Michael Monozon, to prospect 2 hours a day, 5 days a week. The other lesson I used was Dirk Zeller's 5 x 5 rule which is 5 past client calls, 5 circle calls, 5 lead follow ups, 5 new contact calls, and 5 thank you or nice to meet you cards. I spent the rest of the time doing floor time, open houses, mall shifts, and learning about internet marketing including social networking!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Here is my simple business plan:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Monday- Friday&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;10:00 5 past client calls&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;10:30 5 circle calls&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;11:00 5 lead follow up calls&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;11:30 5 new contact calls (to farm and open house invites)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;12:00 LUNCH!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1-3:00 Prepare my farming flyers for the month. These also go out every other month to absentee owners on the 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt;. Prepare past client and circle newsletters which go out every other month on the 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt;. Prepare property showings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3:00 Farm 100 homes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, that's 200 per week!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do 2 mall shifts per week 3-6 or 6-9 Monday- Saturday&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do 1 floor shift per week, no Sundays because I like to do open houses OR take it OFF as long as I do one open house per month.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That is how I do it! I made a comfortable living in 2008 by selling an average or 1-2 houses per month. I'm back on track and it's a great feeling! I hope that I can help someone who loves working in real estate like I do. It's not very hard but takes ambition, enthusiasm, and I know this is the corniest of corny &quot;the power of positive thinking&quot;!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some have asked me, &quot;Do you ever take time off? How do you make time for your kids or YOURSELF?&quot; The answer is easy! I follow this plan and I get off work at 4:30-5:00 every day! I spend each and every night cooking a lovely dinner and enjoying it with my family. Not only that but we converse about the day around a large table and face a huge window which allows us to also enjoy beautiful sunsets together! I take a weekend a month off to go to Reno, San Francisco, birthday parties and other fun stuff that come up!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was a great year in real estate for most of us who seriously work &quot;full time&quot;. I am &quot;positive&quot; that 2009 will be even better!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>San Bruno Real Estate! Attractive Prices Attract Buyers in Droves!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.postlets.com/res/1557453&quot; title=&quot;564 1 St. Ave., San Bruno&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/5/0/1/1/6/ar122833977361105.jpg&quot; height=&quot;199&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;265&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Click photo for more pics&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is listed for $259,900! This is the best opportunity we have seen in years for a home of this size! It's got large bedrooms, a large living room, and a nice yard. The kicker is, it's a little run down and it's across the street from the train tracks but imagine the possibilites! It's a great deal and could be fixed up quite nice and maybe even improve the look of the entire block! Gosh! That would be great if someone could do that! There is a 1 bedroom, 1 bath duplex on the same street for $380,000. Not bad, huh?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you are not familiar with San Bruno, Ca., these prices have not been heard of since 2002 or maybe even before! There are some really great opportunities out there right now. It's just unbelievable!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>10 Reasons to Buy a Home in San Bruno, Ca</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I wrote something like this before but it's been awhile! I am partial to San Bruno because I live here and my office is here as well, Prudential California Realty, San Bruno. My kids go to school within walking distance from our house, my office is only&amp;nbsp;8 blocks away, the corner store is 4 blocks away, and if we need to go San Francisco, it's only 10 minutes away! So that would be the number one reason to buy a house in San Bruno because a home near San Francisco is desirable because a lot of people work there and don't want a long commute, so....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. San Bruno is only 10 minutes away from San Francisco&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. San Bruno has beautiful weather 60's and sunny&amp;nbsp;most of the year!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. San Bruno has affordable home prices. Right now the lowest priced home is $245,000! They have offers on the table already, of course.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. San Bruno has all kinds of tasty restaraunts along El Camino Real, San Mateo Ave. and at the Shops at Tanforan. Some of my favorites are Don Pico's, La Paloma, Amma's Curry House, Hon Lin, BJ's, Sushi House, West Coast Cafe&amp;nbsp;and the list goes on!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5. San Bruno has the Shops at Tanforan, the greatest shopping mall with Target and JC Penny, my two favorites!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;6. San Bruno has an awesome school district with awesome teachers, staff, PTA's, art and music programs, sports, after school care and more!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;7. San Bruno has 2 of the largest parks on the peninsula, San Bruno City Park and San Bruno County Park. The City Park has a pool, 3 baseball diamonds, tennis courts, rec center with 100's of different classes, playground, jogging trail, picnic tables, and different events going on all the time! The County Park is run by the state and is great for hiking!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;8. San Bruno has the San Francisco Airport! We are so close, you'll never have to worry about being stuck in traffic if you're running late to catch your plane!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;9. San Bruno is walking or bus distance to all conveniences, shopping, restaraunts, library, City Hall, movies and schools.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;10. San Bruno has a really great mayor, city council, chamber of commerce, services, and support for all.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Bay Area real estate &quot;shake up&quot;!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pruvoices.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/karinchouse.gif&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Can you shake it up anymore in the East Bay right now? What I mean is, I have been showing property to&amp;nbsp;different sets of clients in Pittsburg, Antioch and Hayward and all the homes have 10-20 offers on them! What the heck is going on?? I thought this was a buyer's market!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, what we have observed is the real estate market in those areas have reached rock bottom!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In Antioch, there are two to eight year old homes listed for $199,000, bank owned REO's that sell for up to $100,000 over the list price with 10-20 offers.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In Pittsburg, there are sprawling older ranch style 4 bedroom homes on 12,000 square foot lots listed at $229,000, bank owned REO's, pending with multiple offers and back ups.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hayward has some awesome deals that I don't even want to think about right now because they are being snatched up so fast!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, I live and work in San Bruno and there are:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;10 houses for sale under $400,000- San Bruno&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;5 houses for sale under $400,000- Daly City&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;17 houses pending in San Bruno, SSF, Pacifica and Daly City UNDER $400,000&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now THAT'S a real estate &quot;shake up&quot; because we haven't seen activity like this is a few years now!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pruvoices.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/karinchouse.gif&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;house&quot; src=&quot;http://www.pruvoices.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/karinchouse.gif&quot; height=&quot;140&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;150&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>10 Reasons you should NOT buy a house in 2008!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pruvoices.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/15th.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;1.&amp;nbsp; You don't feel like taking advantage of GREAT opportunities while prices are at an all time LOW!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2.&amp;nbsp; You enjoy renting over owning your own home.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3.&amp;nbsp; You believe in buying HIGH and selling LOW rather than what experts suggest which is buy low and sell high. Duh!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4.&amp;nbsp; Your &quot;lame&quot; accountant told you that you have enough tax write offs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5.&amp;nbsp; You don't believe you can build equity if you buy at the bottom of the market.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;6.&amp;nbsp; You don't believe prices will ever go up again to where you can sell and make some $$.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;7.&amp;nbsp; You still think a 6% interest rate is too high.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;8.&amp;nbsp; You like paying more $$ in rent than towards your very own home.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;9.&amp;nbsp; You don't think owning a home is a good investment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;10. You are a &quot;free loader&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Don't blow your chance to buy a home while prices are at all time lows! You won't see prices this low again in this lifetime!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pruvoices.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/15th.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;$199,000 3 bedroom house, San Pablo, Ca.&quot; src=&quot;http://www.pruvoices.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/15th-300x224.jpg&quot; height=&quot;224&quot; alt=&quot;$199,000, 3 bedroom house, San Pablo, Ca.&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>San Bruno Realtor, Karin Cunningham at Your Service!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I learned along time ago, in my waitressing days at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://sanfranciscoairport.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/index.jsp&quot; title=&quot;Hyatt Burlingame&quot;&gt;Hyatt Regency in Burlingame&lt;/a&gt;, that service with a smile makes all the difference in the world to the consumer. When service industry people like their jobs, it makes a world of difference to the worker, as well! When I switched from waitressing to real estate, it felt like almost the same job, just a different product! When I was serving drinks at the lobby bar at the Hyatt and within a few hours went to our &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.prucalbayarea.com&quot; title=&quot;My Company Website&quot;&gt;Prudential&lt;/a&gt; kiosk at Tanforan, I felt like I was still behind a bar but just serving a different kind of drink! Definately a more expensive one!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;dl id=&quot;attachment_54&quot;&gt;&lt;dt&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://sanbrunolife.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/tankiosk2.jpg?w=300&quot; height=&quot;215&quot; alt=&quot;Tanforan Kiosk&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; /&gt;&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd&gt;Tanforan Kiosk&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;/dl&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now that I am an experienced real estate agent or Realtor, I am happy to say that choosing real estate was the best career decision I ever made. I have helped people buy and sell homes all over the Bay Area from San Francisco to San Jose and all over the East Bay from Antioch to Fremont. I have enjoyed every minute, every step of the way and I look forward to many more! I have a family and we have established ourselves in &lt;a href=&quot;http://sanbruno.ca.gov/&quot; title=&quot;San Bruno City Website&quot;&gt;San Bruno&lt;/a&gt;, it only made sense to me to become a part of the community as much as possible and carry on those service lessons that I learned at the Hyatt, especially since I love using those skills. I am on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://sbpsd.k12.ca.us/index.html&quot; title=&quot;San Bruno School District Home Page&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Allen Elementary School &lt;/a&gt;PTA, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://sanbrunochamber.com&quot; title=&quot;San Bruno Chamber of Commerce&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;San Bruno Chamber of Commerce&lt;/a&gt; Board of Directors, I go to every &lt;a href=&quot;http://sanbruno.ca.gov/parks_August.html&quot; title=&quot;San Bruno Concerts in the Park City Page&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;San Bruno Concert in the Park &lt;/a&gt;in August, &lt;a href=&quot;http://sanbruno.ca.gov/parks_sbpool.html&quot; title=&quot;San Bruno Swimming Pool City Page&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;swimming lessons&lt;/a&gt;, baseball games, soccer games, and most recently I am entered in our &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.samcar.org/&quot; title=&quot;San Mateo County Association of Realtors&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;San Mateo County Association of Realtors&lt;/a&gt; arm wrestling contest! Holy Moly! What am I getting myself into!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;dl id=&quot;attachment_55&quot;&gt;&lt;dt&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://sanbrunolife.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/026.jpg?w=300&quot; height=&quot;225&quot; alt=&quot;San Bruno swimming lessons&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; /&gt;&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd&gt;San Bruno swimming lessons&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;/dl&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you know anyone thinking of buying or selling a home anywhere in San Francisco, the San Mateo Peninsula or East Bay, I hope you will let them know about me, send them to this blog and my website at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.KarinCunningham.com&quot;&gt;www.KarinCunningham.com&lt;/a&gt; so I can give them the same great service that I speak of today. I look foward to building my business with you and others who are interested!&amp;nbsp; Thank you!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Can you really buy a house at the San Mateo County Fair?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pruvoices.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/035.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The San Mateo County Fair runs from Aug. 8th- Aug. 17. Our office has a booth and we have been really busy answering questions about&amp;nbsp; home prices, loans, REO's, short sales and all kinds of stuff! Its a casual environment not like the tidy, quiet and clean&amp;nbsp;office we're accustomed to. Its fun to chat with people at the fair because the atmosphere is not so &quot;closed in&quot;. We have a binder of homes for sale that&amp;nbsp;fair goers&amp;nbsp;can flip through and get a good idea of what homes are selling for in their favorite neighborhoods. Come join us at the fair! We'll even sign you up to win an iPod nano!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you haven't been to San Bruno's August concerts in San Bruno Park, then you don't know what you're missing! This is a great opportunity to meet San Bruno people, see friend's from school or the neighborhood, and relax.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Children are invited. Families and friends bring dinner or snacks. We lay out big blankets to sit on and enjoy the night away. The weather is always pleasant until the sun goes down so it's best to bring along some sweatshirts!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>San Bruno Fourth of July</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;San Bruno Fourth of July is always a lot of fun for its residents and visitors alike. Safe and sane firework sales go to non profit organizations&amp;nbsp;throughout San Bruno. We were at our friend's house on San Bruno Ave. the whole evening and had such a blast with 4 other families and our kids. We did fireworks in their driveway and celebrated with chile con carne, potatoe salad and nachos. Mmmmmm...good!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not only are fireworks and barbecues a BIG and exciting draw for our city but we have the BEST Pee Wee Baseball tournaments for miles! This past July 4th, 5th and 6th our San Bruno 10U and 8U teams won their championships and we are PROUD! We were supporting our friends the whole weekend at San Bruno Park and Parkside Middle School from 8 am to 5pm each day. The weekend was full of sun, fun and PLENTY of BASEBALL! For more info check out this site! www.&lt;strong&gt;sanbruno&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;peewee&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;baseball&lt;/strong&gt;.org&lt;/p&gt;
