Excellent Miami Beach reporting, Kevin. Just excellent!

A red car phone 1985. Air time? Very expensive!

I like to picture Tobey frolicking on the Rainbow Bridge--and want to thank you for sharing him with us. You've had a tough year, Jonathan, and a break seems in order.

Re: Agent-turned-author knows FSBO book likely to make waves

Roberta Murphy — Thu, 26 Sep 2013 20:44:24 -0000

Have no opinion one way or another about this book, but it seems to be a pretty crowded field. A quick perusal of Amazon with the simple "FSBO" query returns a lot of reading and guidance: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref... Hope she is presenting something new.

Do I read that sign correctly: Bane of America? Yup!

Perhaps as a component of a simplified flat tax?

Wow! Big congratulations to both you and Copyblogger. A win for both.

Re: Why I Remain at Thompson’s Realty

Jonathan: Opposing views do not necessarily force a divorce. You and Jay probably have far more in common than differences. Odd and ironic as it may seem, it's so perfect that you and your voice are at Thompson Realty.

Re: Obama's literary agent says he was 'born in Kenya'. How did the mainstream media miss this?

Roberta Murphy — Fri, 18 May 2012 00:49:06 -0000

Years ago, I wrote book jacket copy for college texts. Authors provided information for their bios--along with a synopsis of their text materials. Google was not around in those days, and the only way to draft a bio was from the source. Would be very surprised if anyone other than Obama provided the information presented.

Re: Explain This to Me, Public Consumer Type People

San Diego appears to be one of Zillow's big winners, but we still struggle with Zestimates that are 25% too low--and which encourage buyers to make losing bids in a market with very tight inventory. Nobody is served well with this mis-information. Not the homeowner. Not the seller. Not the buyer. Not the agent. Not even Zillow.

Just one more reason tort reform is needed.

Re: Obama Transparency Scaled Back When It Comes to Dinner Wine List

This is a sad loss for American winemakers and a lost opportunity to promote all-American products.

What a classic--and one that should be in hot demand by real estate collectors. Would also be an interesting prospect/site for film production.

Re: Features of the "Ultimate" Real Estate App?

Roberta Murphy — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 11:03:34 -0000

Among contenders for the Ultimate Real Estate App would have to be database migration software. Am not talking about the ability to migrate a .csv file; rather, the ability to migrate ALL client or lead information including property search parameters, agent notes, and attached files from one platform to another. Want to move this complex information for example, from Market Leader to Diverse Solutions or from Top Producer to 1ParkPlace--or vice versa?

Cannot do--and it often keeps agents tied to multiple and redundant vendors because of the daunting task of entering this information manually.

Hi Rose!

It's a long article that has been truncated. Just click the "read more" link at end of Tip #2. There are quite a few other tips that will help facilitate your Carlsbad move.

William: Thanks for stopping by! Timing couldn't be sweeter for San Diego first time home buyers--except that you and we could use more affordable inventory for our clients.

Re: Chinese Drywall Gassing Your San Diego Home?

So far, knock on wood, San Diego real estate seems to have been spared. It does point out, though, the caution we should use with Chinese mports.

Re: Oceanside Terraces and $1000 Costco Card

Roberta Murphy — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 01:12:52 -0000

Ruth, I doubt anything will be built in front of Oceanside Terraces for several years. Eventually, the Oceanside Beach Resort will be built--as will condos directly in front of Oceanside Terraces. However, most of the 5th and 6th floors will retain ocean views--as will all units on the south sides. Please feel free to give me a call at either 760-402-9101 or 877-818-8197 if you have any questions. Additionally and FWIW, I have just written a new blog article about the OT auction.

Re: Oceanside Terraces and $1000 Costco Card

Roberta Murphy — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 23:46:20 -0000

Zeeru: The remaining Oceanside Terraces were auctioned off today at prices ranging from $405,000 to a high of $781,000 for the oceanfront penthouse. There were approximately 100 registered bidders in attendance and all residences were sold. Please email me privately and we'll let you know if any available sales fall through. I doubt, however, we'll see these prices again.
