Sometimes clients are just enigmas, wrapped in a puzzle, riddled with facts…
A few days ago, I received an email from a client of mine. I called him to discuss a short sale offer that had recently received an approval for an offer that was submitted almost three months earlier. We were just waiting for the documentation.

These were the ones he mentioned in order: www.realtor.com www.sdlookup.com www.redfin.com I... Read the story »

Redfin to Zip Diaries:: Part 2
Today started off nice, I had just picked up my extra hot white mocha when my cell phone started to ring. The phone call ended up being a client who was interested in purchasing a home. She had said that she was working with an associate agent of mine through Zip; however, she wanted to work with me. I asked her what prompted her interest in my services. She said that she had seen me on Redfin.com and had been using both sites(Good for her!); she had seen the video article on Channel 10 back in... Read the story »
