A California Realtor on Activerain revealed that rebates are now illegal in California, and it caught me off guard.    California is a progressive state, so it's logical the rest of the nation would soon follow.    Not so fast! Nothing has changed!  ARE BUYER'S REBATES LEGAL? First things first:   Rebate laws vary from state to state, but illegal only in a large handful of states.  In the State of California, rebates are legal all day long.     Still, the question arises with surprising frequency because anti-rebate rhetoric is always swirling about.      The department of justice tackles the issue of rebates and discounts by encouraging price competition with resounding authority, and quells the misbegotten notion it constitutes a RESPA violation.   HUD makes clear, on proper disclosu... 06/07/2011

My clients are rednecks.  When I'm around them, I make a practice of removing a couple of crowns to fit in.   At a recent home party (a home I sold them in Orange County-where else?),  I met the new addition to the Rednecks. Baby Redneck is as cute as a baby could be.   (I set the bar high for baby cuteness, so that's saying a lot). I checked for party highlights on their website and guess who I see?  Craig Rutman!   Man, these rednecks really stick together.   Either that, or Craig is prospecting a 5,000 mile radius.   What the heck?!   I had thought the Rednecks found me through a diligent search, but I must've been wrong.   Then,I remembered Redneck's relatives reside Craig's home state. Maybe that's the connection.  It's a small world, at least for Craig "The Redneck" Rutman.  I'm b... 05/29/2011
