marin realtors: Median Home Sales Value versus Mean - 05/20/11 11:29 AM

marin realtors: Open Houses, Lookey Lou's, and Stinkey Poo - 05/04/10 07:23 PM
A lot of people question whether blogging is Journalism? This post should help foment that debate. If you're humor impaired or comedically challenged, stop reading now. The intention of this post is to be informative, and .... Two things you need to know about Open Houses. If you're a seller, there should be nothing of value left out in your home for showings or open houses.

The Windmill House It was the summer of 1972. A couple of years earlier Rosa Burke Perez had completed construction of the hillside home that she and her then-husband, Neil E. Davis, had built a few blocks from downtown Mill Valley. Winding circularly, this unique all-redwood house has no right angles, a dozen levels, and 18 stained glass windows. On the afternoon of June 23rd, her youngest daughter's 5th birthday, Rosa was saying goodbye to small party guests when the phone rang.

marin realtors: What Realtors Do To Earn Their Commissions - 12/30/08 10:07 AM
What do Real Estate agents do to earn their commission ? Ever heard that question? Here's a comprehensive and humorous take on that very question from a Home Inspector who's worked closely with Real Estate practitioners. "They don't do @*!?&% thing! Why they just stick a sign in the yard and make easy money. I could do their job any day of the week." Well, maybe you could do their job. But it just won't be any day of the week.
