1. Live every day as a new day.  Don’t be held back by what happened yesterday, the day before, the week before, the year before, and so on.2. Focus on WHAT vs. How. Focus on WHAT you want first before you think about HOW to do it. Anything is possible, as long as you set your mind, heart, and soul to it.3. Live more consciously each day. Stop sleepwalking through life. Your life is something to be experienced, not coasted through. Create your bucket list, i.e. things to do before you die. Then, get out to achieve them.4. Don’t do things for the sake of doing them. Always evaluate what you’re doing and only do it if there is meaning behind them. Don’t be afraid to quit the things that don’t serve your path.5. Be empathetic. If everyone only sees life from his/her own perspective, we wil... 05/29/2023

The decision to rent or buy a home is a significant financial choice that can have long-lasting implications. Many factors come into play, including personal circumstances, financial stability, and the housing market in your area.

The IRS has announced it’s intent to send 5 to 8 Million CP14 notices to taxpayers that filed returns with taxes owed.  The CP14 notice is the first in a series of notices that the taxpayer will receive. Each of these notices provides you with information including where you are at in the collection process, the risks you face, as well as the opportunities available with some of the notices.  These notices are typically sent out sequentially (though not all are required) 5 to 8 weeks after the prior notice was sent.    Unfortunately, many taxpayers who owe the IRS don’t understand the notices or even read bother to open the letters.   Many taxpayers that come to me with IRS problems, drop unopened IRS correspondence on my desk.  Most who do this simply are afraid to open the notices and... 05/29/2023

Alt text, also known as “alternative text”, is a brief description that can be added to an image on a webpage to describe its content. By providing descriptive alt text with relevant keywords for your real estate website, you can improve your chances of appearing in image search results for your target audience. This means that potential customers looking for real estate properties in your area are more likely to find your images in their search results.When search engines crawl a web page, they cannot “see” images the way humans can. Therefore, search engines rely on alt text to understand what the image is about and how it relates to the webpage’s content. Including relevant keywords in your alt text can help search engines understand the content of your images and improve your search... 05/29/2023

Why Today’s Housing Market Is Not About To Crash In ConnecticutThere’s been some concern lately that the housing market is headed for a crash. And given some of the affordability challenges in the housing market, along with a lot of recession talk in the media, it’s easy enough to understand why that worry has come up.But the data clearly shows today’s market is very different than it was before the housing crash in 2008. Rest assured, this isn’t a repeat of what happened back then. Here’s why.It’s Harder To Get a Loan NowIt was much easier to get a home loan during the lead-up to the 2008 housing crisis than it is today. Back then, banks had different lending standards, making it easy for just about anyone to qualify for a home loan or refinance an existing one. As a result, lending in... 05/29/2023

Carlsbad Art Wall May 2023 The 2nd Carlsbad Art Wall mural of 2023 was completed last weekend by visual artist Ricky Watts. Watts was born in San Francisco and works out of his Northern California studio. This is the 35th mural since the Carlsbad Art Wall was founded.

The advice I share with all buyers, first-time to very experienced is:"You're Buying a Used Home, you're going to discover some deferred maintenance and perceived needed updates."You have three choices when buying any home when it comes to repairs: Accept the deferred maintenance. Negotiate the deferred maintenance. With new construction it's even easier, no negotiating, you just point them out on the *"blue tape tour". Walk Away from the deferred maintenance and cancel the escrow.  1. Acceptance: Why would you accept the house as-is? The number one reason is the sellers, at least in **CA, say "take it or leave it" because they have the leverage of a sellers market. The second reason is because you are competing for the house and trying to avoid the seller canceling to seek a more accep... 05/29/2023

Many motivational speakers tell you to think about your WHY? Why do you do what you do for a living? Why do you do what you do for fun? Why do you . . . ? I am a firm believer in leaving things better than you found it.  I believe we need to care for others more than we care for ourselves. I believe that we need to give back to our community. One thing that I am very passionate about is a local non-profit in Boise, Idaho - www.wishgranters.org.  They grant wishes to local terminal adults in order to create lasting positive memories for their families and caregivers.Years ago, I was donating my time and money to this organization since I believed in their cause.  They invited me to be on their Board of Directors five years ago.  I attended a meeting to verify it would be a good fit.  It ... 05/29/2023
