This Morning I saw a high school senior who I had spoken with before while at the gym on the treadmill.  It was back a few months ago that we first met.  She told me then that she had dreams to get into the army.  I remember it very vividly.   This morning we got a chance to catchup.  After asking me how my Halloween was, she said, "You probably don't remember, well, maybe you do....?  But I had told you that I wanted to join the army the last time we spoke.". I said, "Oh, Yes.....I do remember." Well, "Guess what?" she said. "On October 26, 2012, I was sworn in...I made it!!!" A certain charge came over me in that moment.  Do you remember what that feels like to have that kind of excitement about anything, I thought to myself? We talked a few more minutes and the inspiration kept flowi... 11/04/2012

Great Morning!! Met with a Seller who has been in their Alta Loma Home nearly 30 years recently.  We discussed pricing, condition and location.  What are some of your most important considerations when you are selling? Typically, it is price first, location second (when good location, warrants higher price, right?)...and then condition.   Why does it seem like your home can become a mini~storage unit?  It's because it houses your most precious treasures, of course!  I'm an expert stager, as well as negotiator.  When it comes to preparing your home for the marketplace, there are a few items which could be extremely helpful.     Here are a few staging tips: 1)  Go through each room.  Pick out items you'd like to keep in the room...remove items that make it have more clutter.  This is the ... 07/26/2012

Today was one of those days where everything comes true...and when it's done, there is a calm, a peace, a tranquility...it's that you know fate took over and what was supposed to happen, happened.  YEAH...MY CLIENT GOT HER NEW HOME! In trying to find that "perfect place", not only does it take time, but it also takes alot of honesty about what is going to work for you, and what won't.  If you're able to share your thoughts with your real estate professional, things could go much smoother for you in your search.   Erin and I worked together on finding the right situation for her, off and on, for the past few years.  Today was the day...she recorded, it's HERS!!!!  ALL HERS!!!! The emotions can go from calm to ecstatically crazy!!!!  Very exciting indeed...  What an honor and privilege.  ... 06/13/2012

Today was one of those gray days where the sun barely makes an appearance... Well, tonight while the sun  appeared in the California Sky, it also made an appearance in my kitchen.   The pepperoni pizza picture is of the pizza that I baked.   Once I saw it on my computer screen, at the bottom of the pic (in the middle), it looked like LIPS! Too funny!! Even though it's not to scale, just thought I'd add eyes and a nose. Hope you're having a great Saturday! 03/31/2012

A friend of mine from High School frequently posts this on his facebook page...normally preceded by something like, "Each time I have struggles today, I will remember that all I can do is my best.  I won't panic, I will remain calm and go forward happily."  Do you have people like that in your life? I love Frank Morris!   He is such an inspiration...and a GREAT REMINDER.  He keeps me positive, even when things may not quite be appearing positive, his daily reminders lift me up.  Thank You, Frank!

  Getting tired of turning the top of your pepper grinder?  Do you love Costco?  Wanna add some fun to your kitchen? I was all for #3 and that's why I decided to buy this electronic (and battery operated) Salt & Pepper Grinder from COSTCO. Check this out!! The Trudeau Elite Graviti salt and pepper mill features a gravity operated system. Simply flip it upside down and the mill will automatically grind your peppercorns, salt or any dry spice. The grinder first cuts the spice, enriching the flavor and then grinds them to your preference. The ceramic grinder is highly resistant, effective and will not rust even when used over a steaming pot. I LOVE using this new toy in my kitchen.  Makes it more fun.... Anyone else wanna have some fun in your kitchen? E N J O Y ! !   10/15/2011

In a few days, I will be going on a listing appointment.  The Sellers are relocating out of state and yes, you can bet I will also be letting them know that I have contacts who are top professionals, virtually across the globe...and they know their stuff! What will I do first when I arrive?  I normally tour the home to view that it matches my initial perception, and Seller's description of the home.  This way I can compare it to other properties that have sold in their hood and let them know what it is truly worth. After we tour the home and I jot down a few, particular notes so that I can remember the home weeks or months later, we will probably move to their dining room table and my presentation folder will be handed to them.  I look forward to going over my presentation, as it not on... 08/17/2011

"Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible." Saint Francis of Assisi 03/29/2011

Have You given any thought to what you should be doing once your home comes on the market and the potential buyers arrive with their agent to see your home? One:  If there's a question their agent can't answer when they show your home, the agent will find you...when sellers try to help out, they can make mistakes and make buyers uncomfortable So....If you can hide out in the den, that is an excellent idea! Maybe watching tv but not too loud. Being out of the house is actually highly preferred, but not a requirement. Afterall, it is your house....We just want it to be the most appealing and with your help, we can set the stage for an awesome performance and ultimate sale!   GOOD LUCK!   02/28/2011

How do you know you've chosen the right agent? Most people start on their search to finding the perfect agent for them by getting recommendations from friends and neighbors. But it rarely pays to take the advice of one person, no matter how much you trust his/her judgment. What are some questions you could ask them that would reveal that? How about these: 1) How many homes have you closed in my city the past few years? 2) How long have you been in the business? 3) How many homes did you close escrow on last year? 4) What would you do if you listed our home, sold it and then while we were in escrow, the financing changed and we ended up having to cancel...would you call us, meet with us or email us to let us know what had happened? Another idea is to ask the agent who was recommended to ... 02/25/2011

Guess what? With prices being what they are right now You may be closer than you think to affording that neighborhood that has always seemed just out of your price range. It's worth a try, eh? Neighborhoods have dropped in some cities across the United States and within California, as well, as much as 50% from what they were selling at in 2006. So why not check it out? What do you have to lose?   You may just find that you CAN AFFORD IT and when prices keep going up, it will make it harder and harder to get back "in that hood"....GOOD LUCK...And as always, Feel free to call me on any available properties. I can refer you to a Professional in Your Area, if it's out of mine. Happy Day!!!   02/24/2011
