OC Living With Renee Porsia

Real estate is the only profession where people clearly do not value a Realtor's time.

This is the fault of Realtors ...

You have to be living under a rock if you haven't heard of Twitter lately. Everyone is tweeting these days, even celebrities. But why would a celebrity want to use Twitter? Don't we give them enough attention already? Aren't they always whining every day that they have no privacy? Why then would ...

Lately, I've been tweeting like a banshee. When I tell people that I've been busy working and tweeting their response is what is tweeting?

Recently, I have been getting a lot of phone calls and e-mails asking me questions about the $8000 home-buyer tax credit so I wanted to answer the most asked questions and make it as simple as possible. So who gets the credit? First-time home buyers or someone who hasn't owned a home in three ye...

It seems like just about everyone I know now has a Facebook page. It has really become quite the phenomenon. People are reconnecting with high school friends, old girlfriends and boyfriends, family, distant relatives and even making new friends. It seems to have taken the place of a good old fas...
