I had this great listing a couple weeks ago..might've been one of the last great deals left in La Quinta. It generated multiples of course and one agent in particular had been hunting it. He wrote an ok offer, and we countered as a multiple offer situation. He came back with just an okay count

Network. Just the word implys "work"..work with a net? Net people or things in while you work? In my mind, networking is simply living in the world on a daily basis. I exchange greetings, small snippets of "how's it going with your daughter?", or something similar. Just living and touching b

In the real estate world everything is negotiable, right? Negotiations for a realtor often begin at our initial listing appointments. We negotiate on the listing price, terms of the listing agreement, and of course every seller would just love it if we would negotiate our commission. I for one, a

and Every day when I drive through the Valley, whether it's previewing property, running errands, checking on the horses… Whatever, I keep seeing more new projects getting off the ground. The great thing is that a lot of these projects have been standing abandoned, behind tattered, green, net fe

Looking for something to do after Mother's Day brunch? Mother's Day is generally a great day for open houses, especially here in the desert where the temperature is a beautiful 90°. The skies are clear, gentle breezes and clear views of the mountains everywhere! PGA West in La Quinta has six golf

I absolutely support office caravans for new listings, here in the Palm Springs Valley. Why not? I always gain some important feedback for my sellers. We all know that the first 30 days of the listing are critical. Why not get as many fresh eyeballs, especially educated realtor eyeballs, into you
