Good day all. I generally don't toot my horn but I got a glowing testimonial from a client that just purchased a home here in Crestline. It was a small cabin that had a couple of issues. Nothing major, but putting the deal together was frustrating because of the agent on the other side. Who actually wasn't the agent on the deal he was the go-between myself and the broker who was the agent for the bank.  How confusing was that when we finally realized why it was taking so long!  In the beginning also the agent uploaded the offer as a non-owner occupied, meaning rental property, when it was owner occupied. That caused us to have to resubmit the entire offer all over again which was pretty frustrating. However, we finally got it done and now I have some more great clients who became neighb... 03/14/2011

My Butt is Freezing, and Other Mountain Homeownership Stories   “My butt is freezing. This bathroom is too stinking cold and we need to fix it!” Each spring comes with the heralding of warmer weather, and right about that time the project list is taken off of the dusty shelf. This particular project of insulating the bathroom (and I PRAY, putting a heating element in the flooring before we lay new tile) has now been put off for four years.   Yes. Four years.   I can hear you now, you who do not live in colder climates, how cold can your bathroom get?  Oh my, we could hang meat in it if we shut the door so no warm air flows in.  The bathroom is the last vestige of the basement that doesn’t have insulation.  It’s so far under the house that my husband literally cannot crawl under it all o... 03/08/2011
