A Special Thanks and Blessing
Can you believe the passage of time? This month I am celebrating an anniversary with my friends and clients that have been receiving this monthly newsletter.

In Balance
It is something that we normally seek but rarely find. And when we do achieve balance in our lives it becomes obvious to all those around us and to ourselves. Everything “works better”; we are able to handle the daily stresses well and we are much more efficient in our work and relationships.

For the purpose of my fable, the leading roles will be played by The Homeowner (the Crane) and The Big Bad Bank (the Wolf). The Continue Reading
The Real Estate Downturn: Where Do We Go From Here?
It is amazing that such a tough year for real estate actually flew by in the blink of an eye (with a tear in it, though)! Now it's 2010 and we all wonder what is in store for buyers, sellers, banks, and lenders. In uncertain times, those that maintain a steady course are the survivors. Real estate agents have been weeded out by natural selection of the finest and fittest. Staying on top of new Continue Reading
