Hi All,
Recently I was in San Francisco (along with around 1000 or so of my friends) for the wonderful Active Rain party, the awesome Zillow Beer With Bloggers, the killer Trulia open house, oh, and a crazy little thing called Inman Connect.

Hi All,
Every buyer in Rancho, the tall and the small just wanted to get the best house deal of all. The market was hot, there was no end in sight, so they borrowed the money (who cares if its right). They spent every penny with nary a thought, but when (17 comments)

Twas the night before Inman and all through the house, not a creature was sleeping, not even my spouse.
The suitcases were standing right next to the door, and the clothes they were scattered all over the floor.
The hotel reservations all had been made, and the credit card bills had (3 comments)

Hi All,
Everyone knows that Short Sales and Foreclosures are on the rise. This is not news. And everyone has heard about how predatory lending practices and option A.R.M.s are to blame. While I am sure that these have indeed all been involved in this mess, that is not the whole (67 comments)

Hi All, I spent most of today photographing a home for another agent's listing in preparation for use in a virtual tour.
