Ok, this is story of how a Flume @flumewaterdevice saved me a lot of misery and expense. i bought my Flume through the water company @cvwdh2o for about $80 after the rebate. This easy to self-install device wraps around your water meter at the curb and the app on your phone tells you when water is running, and sends an alert if it recognizes out of the ordinary usage. Saturday it notified me of a leak detection, i immediately turned off the water to the house, to the pool, to the sprinkler system, and it was still flowing nearly 2 gallons per minute - I’m not too smart but deduced it was a leak between the meter and the point of entry to my house. In other words somewhere between the curb and my front door. I called my plumber, he located the leak in the yard probably caused by the roots of my beloved Palo Verde trees, and now all is as it should be. The point of the story is had i not had the Flume, I would have never known i had a broken water pipe 2 feet under the surface in my front yard. Imagine 2 gallons per minute running unnoticed underground - in sand! How long before it became a disaster and washed out to the street? Thank you Flume.
Easy to forget, but today's mortgage average interest at 6.8% is not so outrageous when you consider the average since 1972. The abnormality was 2021 when rates were below 3%. Thanks to my banker at Wells Fargo for helping me keep this in perspective.
The market is changing in more ways than one - legally, culturally, economically, etc. The number of homes for sale has risen to levels not seen in nearly 10 years, so don’t create obstacles for potential buyers. If it’s too difficult to schedule a showing, agents and buyers will move on - there’s lots of other homes to see.

I saw an incredible performance by the “Modern Men” last evening at the Palm Springs Cultural Center. ,I can’t describe the joy that comes from 120+ smiling, dancing, and singing faces full of happiness and sharing the 70s through music. Shout out to tenor RC, my friend since the 70s 😉 There’s always something to do in Palm Springs!
I represented the sellers on this property, and they were awesome enough to leave this review of my performance on Zillow. I humbly thank S&E. 😃

The best way to avoid conflict over what may or may not be personal property, and whether or not it conveys with the sale of the property, is to identify in writing exactly what you want in the purchase agreement.
We live in a dynamic market with lots of fast moving parts. I'm fortunate to have a network of experts willing to help me apply their knowledge to my everyday business. Sean Teague of Movement Mortgage is one of those experts.

The word "ragù" comes from the French word "ragoût", but it's really not all that fancy.
The Restaurant at the Palm Springs Surf Club is a bit hard to find but turns out it’s hidden in plain sight!
It’s not your father’s Oldsmobile anymore, open houses were created by Realtors at a time when it was one of the few ways potential buyers could preview a home.
