Our daughter Natalie is part of our team now as marketing director (in between her dance gigs). We got started yesterday with a few short answers (less than a minute each) to three basic questions about today's market that she will be using individually on social...
A viewer's comment on YouTube led me to this terrific inside view of the 2008 financial crisis, and the resulting impact on the world. It rightly blames the entire fiasco on the Tan Man, who pitched his mortgages to Wall Street based on the yields generated if...
We're doing fine here at headquarters - how about you? We've primarily worked out of the house for the last 17 years, so we aren't experiencing any disruption just because we're stuck at home. We're still having two listings being prepped for market, and haven't had...
Last year I thought I was taking my birthday off, but by the end of the day I had sold three homes! I don't expect the same action today, but instead we do have a handful of new listings in the works to kick off the selling season. I think the market is going to erupt...
I know what's it's like to be 41 years old, and have daughters - I was on top of the world!

I just had the best decade of my life! It didn't start out that way, though. We trudged into 2010 trying to survive a dreary, depressed real estate market. But thanks to Ben Bernanke, who engineered the greatest soft landing in history, the rules were changed and...
I few days ago caught that cold that's been going around, and revived myself just in time to prepare for 40 people at our house for Christmas - including six octogenarians and six kids under the age of five! My Uncle Bob and his daughter/my cousin Jenny did attend, so...
The photo you saw was from the house I sold at the top of the hill in La Jolla. Above is about half of the ocean view - here is more of it below. The sunsets will be outrageous next summer: Full video tour here - hat tip Sam!
