Tonight in the Vice Presidential debate, I kept hearing about the 'greed and corruption on Wall Street'.  I've heard it also on the radio, read it in newspapers, and watched people on TV use it as a talking point. But, let's look at this.  Whose greed and corruption on Wall Street are we talking ...

Believe me, I have had sellers with some challenges related to showings - a dog, children napping, - I do get it.  But if you have to say, 'Easy to Show' in your remarks, I'll betcha it's going to be a pain in the proverbial a** to show...

Bloggers, Realtors, and the consumers are trying to make sense of the new Capital Gains law.  It may not be as simplistic as I originally thought.  It looks like the intent of the new law is to prevent investor buyers from moving into their investments and living in them for two years so that the...

We all go through them.  And some of those moments are rough, really rough.  Sometimes all you need is the perspective of time.  Time heals so much of what is wrong in this moment.  We also, never know the gift that is hidden (sometimes deeply) in the midst of our struggles. This 2008 Olympic hop...
