Although I check my listings for showing activity every single day, it can be frustrating when I know that the Supra website is stuck. I suspect the website is stuck because sometimes it doesn't show any recent showings past noon, and then the following day, all of a sudden the showings appear. I

You never really know what a short sale bank will do until they do it. I'm often called upon to predict what will happen in a short sale, especially when it involves negotiations of hard-money loans with lenders like The Golden1 Credit Union in second position and Wells Fargo in first, but you ca

Mostly I figure out who is visiting my website by the phone calls I receive from potential home sellers and buyers in Sacramento. Based on the questions they ask me, I can decipher what they were looking for online when they ran across my name. Sometimes, I ask them to tell me exactly which words

You might not know this about me, but I love to do home improvement projects. The problem is I do not have the time to personally do them anymore with my own two hands. Now, if something breaks or doesn't work right, I generally call in a professional and pay somebody else to fix it. But that doe

Part of being a responsible and successful Sacramento real estate agent in this day and age depends on one's ability to relate to a broad spectrum of people from all walks of life. I get the 1 percenters and the 99% percenters -- and I've been both so I know from whence they come. I also work wit

When I have to stop what I'm doing during the day to complain to my husband and wonder out loud why I am taking a listing that seems to be so much trouble, it makes sense to step back and look at the fact that maybe it's the universe's way of telling me not to bother with it. For starters, you ma

Apart from a couple of clients who bought a home over on Muir Way in Land Park, I don't see very many people riding bikes in Land Park. Those homeowners ride their bikes to work and back at the Department of Motor Vehicles on Broadway. Well, there was the bike race last Saturday with the Northern

I realize many readers have more important things going on in their lives than to wonder what happened with the Breeze litter boxes installed a few months ago over in the Weintraub household, but some of you might be pondering that question, so I will gladly answer it for you. Hopefully, it will

I went out for a bike ride yesterday and ran into this mess o' bikes in Land Park. Apparently, they like my bike path, too, around the park. I'm not getting in their way. Do you know how fast these guys can blow on by -- they were going at least 40 MPH, enough that I felt a gust of wind. Not sur
