real estate: Whiskey's Wisdom: Plant Your Seeds
- 08/26/23 07:14 AM
"Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap,
but by the seeds you plant."
Novelist and Poet, Robert Louis Stevenson
This quote speaks to The Law of The Harvest:
You can only control your actions,
you can not control the results.
Knowing not every seed germinates,
requires you to sow
more than you can expect to reap.
But the beauty of the harvest,
is that every seed that produces
carries the potential for -
the compound effect at harvest.
Your action for today
is to focus on what you can do
to help others throughout the day.

real estate: Sensationalized, Confused and Conflicted...Let's Make Some Sense Of It
- 07/10/23 04:39 PM
The media will sensationalize, confuse, and conflict real estate information.
Local, full-time professional Real Estate Agents are the best source of info, (and lenders they work with like Jason E. Gordon) because they working in your neighborhoods every week. They have the scoop, they are in the trenches.
Economists do not guess their predictions; they research the 30-year trends and other economic factors to come up with what may seem like bold predictions, but they are very fact based, historical trend based and mathematical, not theoretical.

Take A Spoonful Of Nasty Today or Take 3 Spoonfuls Of Nasty Tomorrow. What I mean is don't wait for rates to drop! You can buy the house today with still somewhat negotiable sellers, manageable prices and good rates today; or wait and pay 3x's as much for the same house tomorrow, or not be able to afford the house tomorrow and have to buy a condo and deal with multiple offers, escalating fees and non-negotiable buyers.
Either way you're dealing with a tough situation, but you can rent the rate, buy the house and dump the … (5 comments)

The BBB Torch Awards and What They Taught Me (Part 3 of 3)
Part 1
Part 2
When a local bank nominated me as a REALTOR® who employs 1-4 employees for a Better Business Bureau Torch Award I went through a very surreal reaction:
It's quite humbling. I didn't know they were watching. It's an honor that they took notice. I was blown away to learn that out of over 30,000 San Diego real estate licensees I was one of only three REALTORS® nominated. There's an intense interview process I had to go through in phases: 1. Video introduction submission
2. Written Q&A submission

real estate: What The Headlines Leave Out...
- 12/14/22 06:14 AM
Headlines aren’t always great at telling the whole story.
While home prices are down slightly month-over-month in some San Diego markets, it’s also true that home values are up not only in some San Diego and CA markets, but nationally too!
Let's take the 10,000 foot view, because headlines are more ground floor perspective and skewed. While home price growth is tapering off month-over-month, the percent of appreciation year-over-year is still well above the home price change we saw during more normal years in the market.

real estate: Facts Not Fears: Keep Your Opinions To Yourself
- 12/08/22 10:53 AM
My motto is Facts Not Fears, because even though your family, friends, church group, co-workers, etc. love you and want to protect you - they inevitably project their fears on you and hold you back.
The media has no expertise nor acumen to advise you on today's market, because that is the business of REALTORS®, Lenders and some financial leaders and economists. The media should be simply reporting the news, but often they are expressing skewed opinions and deliberately sensationalizing the facts in order to grab your clicks and eyes.
