Why Thanksgiving Matters
by Michelle Carr-Crowe, San Jose Cupertino Real Estate Expert
During November, I and many others blogged about what we were thankful for. Mine included my husband, daughters, friends, employees, Jesus, my home and many other wonderful things in the world.
As anyone who's survived a disaster or trauma can tell you, being thankful keeps you sane. During this tumultuous real estate market and economy, keeping my focus on my blessings has helped my attitude and my efficiency. More praising and less complaining equals a better real estate professional.
I'm thankful to live in a country with a day … (0 comments)

Confessions from The Dyslexic's Perspective: First in an Occasional Series
By Michelle Carr-Crowe Your San Jose Homes in Cupertino Schools Expert
Not everyone knows I am dyslexic. Back when I was in elementary school, my mother wondered if I'd ever overcome my penchant for writing entire sentences backwards and sideways.
I think one of the greatest blessings of being dyslexic is the unique and frequently humorous perspective my mind treats me to.
Because while most of the time I am highly functional for someone with my "gift" there are other times when it's frustrating...and even more times when it's hilarious.

- 06/06/10 10:29 PM
Signs and Cities
by Michelle C. Carr-Crowe and the Get RE$ult$ Team
In Silicon Valley, all of our cities run into each other. In putting up open house signs, we have to obey all of the (sometimes varying) city ordinances regarding size, placement and how long they can be up.
Has anyone in Santa Clara County (especially San Jose, Santa Clara, Saratoga, Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, Campbell, Palo Alto) found a "one-size fits all" sign solution?
Some cities, such as Saratoga, only allow signs the size of a typical "sign rider" to be posted for open house. They used … (6 comments)
