brendan winans: A new license, a new state, and even a new wife -- My Journey to Malibu. - 10/19/10 01:01 PM
My Journey to Malibu

What a year, where to begin. In the last 10 months I've gotten licensed in a new state (California), moved to a new state (CA), gained a wife (this, of course, being the most monumental event on the list. Right hon?), and was hired on at Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, Malibu West. "What set this off?", you ask.

At the age of 17, I always felt as if I was "ahead" of my peers (at least that's … (3 comments)

Homebuyer Tax Credit Deadline Quickly Approaching What buyers and sellers need to do now so they don't miss out With only three months until the $8,000 first-time homebuyer and the $6,500 existing homeowner buyer federal tax credits are set to expire, time is running out on an opportunity that buyers and sellers may never see again. The tax credit, which was created in mid 2008, expanded in January 2009 and extended again this past November, was designed to be a short-term incentive to drive buyers into the market.

Are you an Eeyore or a T-I-Double G-E-R?
(Negativity:The serial business killer)
 
 VS 
 
Just recently, I met an amazing person in the business. This person, if anything, is my new accountability partner. One of the many things that I absolutely love about her, that I've decided to adopt for myself, is her blunt approach with negativity. She absolutely will NOT have anything to do with it. If you are a negative human being and are in close proximity, you will promptly be referred to as "Eeyore" and she will steer clear of you. It's GREAT!

Boulder, Colo.; Fayetteville, N.C.; Pittsburgh; Little Rock; and other slow-but-steady metros are now among the nation's safest markets, and many of the homes in those markets continue to appreciate, if only modestly.
These are metro areas "where folks didn't bake 10% to 12% increases into their … (1 comments)
