Our blogs provide a service - 02/17/09 09:32 AM

She told a chilling story of a real estate agent who first said there was a 6% commission, then wrote up papers for a 12% commission, then proceeded to ask the owners how much they hoped to clear from the sale, and proposed to talk any amount over and above that.
Her Google search came up with a blog I wrote in July about the … (4 comments)

Insurance tips for Sellers - Part II - 02/12/09 09:43 AM

Mike Kelty, of State Farm Insurance, also advises sellers to:
•· Eliminate any potential tripping hazards, such as small rugs, that anyonen could trip or slip on. Avoid shiny but slippery waxes and treatments on smooth or exposed flooring
•· Make sure your insurance policy liability is adequate. $1,000,000 is typically a safe level of protection for many people. You should have a Personal Liability Umbrella as a piece of your ongoing insurance protection portfolio.
•· Make certain that all outdoor areas, yards, patios, and pathways, are free of debris. Leaves, pine needles, etc., can be very slick and slippery, particularly … (2 comments)

Condo Life For Us - 02/09/09 08:23 PM
Just look at that view!

I would love to introduce you to our new dream.  This is the view from the living room and master bedroom of the condo that my husband and I are buying in the Pacific Heights area of San Francisco.  This view alone had us hooked and we just fell in love--looking down on Fort Mason, across the bay to Angel Island, Tiburon, Sausalito--what could be better?  Check out the VIDEO I took of the interior. We'll be finding a tenant for it soon, and looking forward to the future when we can enjoy it ourselves. Stay tuned for … (8 comments)
