Having been in the real estate business since 1999, I have come across almost every type of situation imaginable: Someone died in the house, divorced spouses fighting with each other, probate courts, flooded homes, and ghosts. I thought I had seen and experienced everything. Until today. I met with a couple who had called my office a few weeks ago looking for information about selling their home. Based on the initial conversation, I knew they were in financial trouble. They bought their home in 2006. The couple, along with their 2 children, had intended to live their "American Dream".

"The Season" is upon us here in Palm Springs and the "snowbirds" are coming in droves to get away from the coldness of their hometowns.

Every Wednesday morning, the Palm Springs Association of Realtors has its weekly Board meeting at the Mizell Senior Center at 8am. I always get to the meeting about 15 minutes early to get a good seat. When I got there this morning, the meeting room was packed. There was a TV news crew setting up in the corner, and was wandering what all the hoopla was all about. Were we having a special guest speaker? Who was it? The Mayor? The Governator?
