This Sacramento Realtor just goes with the flow. Because you never know what will happen when your phone rings. It could be opportunity. I realize most people view their cell ringing as an inconvenience. It's almost an intrusion, to be forced to listen to another person's voice. They much prefer

My last full day in Kailua-Kona was fairly busy, given the fact that when I got up that morning, I didn't really have a plan. Well, my plan was to finish up a few loads of laundry. But my manciure appointment from Friday got pushed to Saturday because the old pipes finally burst at the nail salon

The recent disclosure by Equifax about a security breach that was discovered months ago has a lot of tongues wagging. This security breach began in May and was not discovered by Equifax until July 29th. Then Equifax didn't bother to inform the public until September 7th. But that's not the worst

When I visited Minneapolis a couple of months ago, I was shocked to see the corner of 7th and Nicollet had turned into a retail graveyard. Then, I stopped at Mall of America with my sister to buy her a printer, and what was once bustling and hustling, is now eerily quiet. Our department stores ar

About 7 years ago I discovered that I could visit Hawaii and still sell real estate back home in Sacramento, meaning I did not have to be present in Sacramento to list or sell or close my sellers' homes. In fact, in some ways, I was even more focused, especially when I was on vacation by myself.U
