When you look back at how people once smoked everywhere, well, it would feel like you're in France. It is very hard to quit smoking when you're grabbing dinner at a smoke-fueled French brassiere with the patron next to you balancing a cigarette on the edge of her dessert plate. You learn very fas

Yesterday an email came through targeting 50 agents in Sacramento. They seem to all be top producers but hard to say how that list was pulled. The agent who created the list did not even take the time to group all the names into one contact list, so he exposed every recipient's email address.The

Working in the real estate business since the 1970s has given me a unique perspective on homebuying that few agents possess. I've witnessed first-hand so many different markets and have survived the dips, ebbs and tides of real estate. There is always a way to buy a home in any given market. We a
