I was out showing homes with some guys from Canada yesterday and it was a great reminder of how coveted and fantastic our weather is. Do not take for granted this beauty.

The Amici short sale, unit 1019, reduced price by $25. $239,900 to $239,875. The Velez at 3972 E. Hummingbird Ln did this mls attention getter 99 times over the course of 2 years. The Velez finally went to the bank. If attention in MLS is needed, I always recommend pricing a property correctly from the beginning.

Back when there were 3 TV channels I got my sports from ABCs Wide world of Sports each weekend. The intro showed a guy just getting creamed as he tried a downhill ski jump - "the agony of defeat". This is the mental image that raced through my mind this past weekend when the short sale Montoro came back on the market. New to market 10.18.08, I have known the listing agent for a year now and s ...
