real estate inland empire: Chinese New Year 2015- Year of Goat, Sheep or Ram? - 02/19/15 12:00 PM
Chinese New Year 2015- Year of Goat, Sheep or Ram?

According to Chinese astrology, each year (starting from Chinese New Year) is associated with an animal sign occurring in a 12 year cycle. 
February 20, 2015 is designated as Year of the Goat but some are confused as the Mandarin Language symbol 'Yang" is interpreted as an animal with 2 horns and a pointed face. Some scholars says the goats do not have a horn. So therefore perhaps it is the sheep? Do Sheep have horns? Maybe! OK, then it is the Ram? Do all Rams have horns? No not all Rams do!

real estate inland empire: A New Home for a Couple and the 'Tree of Life' Growing Tall - 01/10/15 02:26 PM
 
A New Home for a Couple & the 'Tree of Life' Growing Tall
I recently had a house close and the couple is expecting a baby very soon. They are so happy and the home is just perfect for them. As I was leaving the house today, as I looked out on the spectacular view of their sunset through the trees, I thought how right the world is for them and was so happy that I could assist them in buying their first home of many. 

The tree showed up so beautiful in the picture so I sent it to … (6 comments)

Naked Photo in MLS Discussed at Real Estate Convention 
This past weekend, I attended a national convention with over 300 attendees. One of the last speakers was discussing Technology and Facebook tips. She also discussed what not to put on social media sites or what will show up when you don't want it to. 
Then the speaker mentioned the 'Naked Realtor Photographer' taking a picture in the bathroom and later updated into the MLS. The room was full of excitement and chatter. Since most of us had iPads or laptops, we were logging in to see the 'Naked Realtor'  photo and yes it … (8 comments)

Giving Back to My Community in the Inland Empire

 I grew up seeing that volunteering was important and my mother always seemed to belong to some many organizations who were helping others; American Cancer Society, Salvation Army, Riverside Women's Club, Elk's Club, the church and the list went on and on.....
 
So when I moved to San Bernardino County I saw that many needed assistance here. I have tried to help financially wherever I could and to volunteer my time as much as possible.
 
Christmas Events- Every year I buy several Boy and Girl Toys and wrap them … (8 comments)

real estate inland empire: What Event Turned My Life's Direction Towards Real Estate - 06/26/14 02:07 AM
What Event Turned My Life's Direction Towards
'Real Estate'

My mom had been in the hospital (11 years ago) and since th Master Bedroom in our home was downstairs and other bedrooms upstairs, we had to give my mom our master bedroom for a week until she was able to go home with part-time care. 
So that got us thinking about selling our home and buying a new one with a downstairs bedroom and bath suite for her. We thought maybe she would come and stay with us permanently someday and should be ready for the event.
I had driven … (20 comments)

real estate inland empire: Hawk in My Backyard Hunting - 01/16/14 01:23 PM
Hawk in My Backyard Hunting

There he was just sitting there having breakfast. Luckily my little chihuahua was inside.
 As you can see there, there are a lot of white feathers there so I think he got a pigeon and sat down to eat. I think Raptor birds are so beautiful and I love to watch them in nature but I hate to see a poor little bird or gopher swept up in their talons. Hawks have great eyesight and are amazing hunters. I love to see them flying in the wind as they just coast for hours and I am … (18 comments)
