View in browser Greetings All,   My mom, bless her soul. She texts, emails or calls me at least once a week to tell me someone she knows may be looking for a Realtor, soon. “How do you know this?”, I ask. “So and so’s husband just passed away, and the wife may go into […]

  Greetings All, Some years ago, Warren Buffet was asked about his business strategy. “We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful”, he answered. He’s done all right for himself, hasn’t he? When it comes to condos in San Francisco and elsewhere, another quote […]

  Greetings All,   Welcome to the Second half of 2020! The first half has been a mixture of frightening, maddening, saddening, uplifting… certainly unlike anything a great majority of us can ever recall experiencing. COVID-19, social unrest, equity market tumbles and rises, massive unemployment… it’s as if the first half of this year has been […]

Greetings All,   Welcome to the “new normal”, our “new reality”. The events of the past three-plus months have led to the use of new terms, bordering on clichés. “In these ‘challenging,’ ‘trying,’ ‘uncertain’ or ‘unprecedented’ times, we’re assured that “we can all get through this, together”.     But with constant repetition, it’s no […]

I’m willing to lay down money that 100% of our readers understand it has nothing to do with the beer. Leonard Steinberg, Compass’s Chief Evangelist and Corporate Broker, recently wrote the following note we felt […]

  Greetings All,   Well, it’s been a rather inauspicious start to the Year of the Rat – The coronavirus is the latest big health scare, worldwide, 9 lovely people including a sports hero and his daughter perished in a tragic accident, and even five minutes of televised news is enough to make one want to […]

  Greetings All,   Home. I look at my son-by-marriage…12 years old and 5’9″, already…and I wonder what memories he’ll have of the home his mom and I have created around him.
