I have been a Realtor since 2006.  I have seen good times and bad times.  To tell you the truth I actually did better in the bad times.  I cut my teeth on the foreclosure crisis.  When times are good there are more of us Realtors and my clients have harder times buying homes. I know as a an exper...

  Sometimes people ask me why I am with a regular broker.  I could make so much more money with a $500 transaction fee.   I tell them that I feel that I get value for my split.  I get great tools and advice.  I have transaction coordinators and a team that make my job easier. I have people who ho...

On November 1, 2020 I started feeling bad.  I was really tired and feverish.   Since my work crew often did not mask I was a bit worried.    I arranged to get a Covid test.  It was positive.  At first it wasn't too bad.  I had a virtual doctor appointment and hid in my bedroom.  I kicked my husb...
