trivalley: Tri-Valley Schools: Rankings and Scores
- 03/03/08 02:19 PM
In most Buyer-side real estate transaction that I handle, the question about school location and their respective ranking comes up. This is a very important factor to consider not only for buyers who have kids but for those without children, as well. Tri-Valley resale values can be impacted by the strength of the school that a home feeds into. There are a number of great resources at your disposal for finding out rankings, district information, and additional details about a school.

trivalley: The Fed Rate Cut and What it Means
- 01/24/08 02:56 PM
The Fed made a significant move the other day with an emergency Federal Funds rate cut of 75 basis points. The move was made after global financial markets sold off in dramatic fashion and the Dow Jones industrial average opened down 450 points. It appears that finally the Fed is taking significant action to prevent dropping into a formidable recession. There is also talk out on the street that the Fed might take another 25 to 75 basis point cut at the end of the month during their formal meeting. The big question is what effect does the lowering of the funds rate have on consumers? (1 comments)

Every year I participate in the City of Dublin's Real Estate Tour. It is a great way for me to keep abreast of all the planned commercial and residential changes occurring within the Tri-Valley, and specifically, the dynamic City of Dublin. This year, the tour covered a broad range of exciting developments, from a westside creation to dreams for many new communities out east. I am going to focus on two major developments under construction in this post, and I will feature other planned projects in upcoming posts. One new development is creating a space for itself in the western Dublin hills. (0 comments)

- 01/17/08 08:10 AM
About a month ago, I was interviewed for an article on Building Relationships in the Internet Age. I was able to speak with the interviewer in advance and she prepped me with her intended direction for the article. The interview was the following day, which left me a few hours to gather my thoughts. The interviewer's plan for her story was to show how Realtors differ on what marketing and technology they use to communicate with their clients depending on their client's age and generation. She wanted to show that a real estate agent's form of communication differed between Generation Y, Generation X, Baby (1 comments)
