Tonite I held an appointment only OPEN HOUSE, with fire pits, fire place, pool lights, & outside down-lites a blazing! I opened some wine and softened the lights to create a cozy atomosphere and the buyers came to see a fabulous home at night. Our La Quinta CC Clubhouse created a beautiful backdrop in the distance with the lake fountain on the 18th hole dancing in the distance! I feel that an evening showing can show the buyer my listings in a very unique way. Some homes are so much more appealing with the lights low and the special fire features … (6 comments)

la quinta california realtor: He Made $1Million Last Year and He Wants to Short Sale - 01/28/10 05:58 PM
There must be alot of misinformation floating around about what happens in a Short Sale. The general public has heard of them-- and like the perfect golf swing, they think they know a little bit about them. For the most part, I have found that a large percentage of people...accountants, lawyers, bankers, Realtors, included... have many different ideas about what happens in a short sale and when it is a viable option. Most people don't know how to grip the club. Much less, hit the ball.
I have a client who came to me and said he needed to short sale … (5 comments)

I read a story today about an older man who was trying to relate the importance of savoring each and every moment of your life.
He said he had a theory to help him prioritize-- And that's when he began to explain his theory of a 'thousand marbles.''You see, I sat down one day and did a little arithmetic. The average person lives about seventy-five years. I know, some live more and some live less, but on average, folks live about seventy-five years. 'Now then, I multiplied 75 times 52 and I came up with 3900, which is the number of … (1 comments)
