The release marks a key milestone in updating the multi-year farm bill that expires Sept. 30. “Although it’s known as the farm bill, the legislation truly touches on everyone – first of all, because everyone eats, but also because of the conservation, research, trade a...

While the groundhog’s prediction this year of six more weeks of winter was right on target for many parts of the country, now that it’s firmly into spring, it’s a great time to start thinking about being more active. When most people think of exercise, it’s for the physical benefits it can provide, and there are many. Regular physical exercise can help trim waistlines, increase aerobic capacity, build muscle size, improve sex life and even add years to a life. But if that’s not enough to get people up and motivated to exerci...

Recently we’ve gotten a number of calls from buyers who just want to work with the listing agent directly. Since our business model is primarily with listings, this could be perceived as a real boon to our personal success. But what keeps me up at night is the “why” of this strategy. Apparently buyers believe there is some financial benefit (i.e. not having to pay both agents) if they work with the listing agent directly. Within the CAR (California Association of Realtors) lis...
Selling real estate must be done with intent. It isn’t something that just happens. There are three points that can make or break a deal. The first is pictures. It may seem like a silly statement, but look at some of the pictures posted on the multiple listing service and every live real estate website in the known universe. To sell a property at the best possible price in a reasonable amount of time the first thing people learn about a property is from the pictures. Will a dark ugly rendition of an old photo do well? R...
