 “It’s a Wonderful Life”  
It is a tradition in our family every year in the holiday season to watch the Frank Capra classic “It’s a Wonderful Life”.  In fact I’ve seen it so many times that I can quote word-for-word many of the scenes.
The scene that has the most meaning to me as a professional Realtor® is when the family is at the dinner table and George Bailey’s younger brother Harry is heading off to a party that he is trying to get his big brother to attend.  George is leaving for college soon and shares with his father … (0 comments)

Double & Triple Dips in Real Estate Markets
Double & Triple Dips in ice cream cones can be a good thing, unless you are watching your weight. Double & Triple Dips in roller coasters is a good thing, unless you have a weak stomach. Double & Triple Dips in the real estate market can be a good thing, just depends on your perspective. A little over three years ago in 2011 the headline on CNNMoney.com on the spookiest day of the year was scary for the real estate market: Home Prices Heading for Triple-Dip.
