A friend at my Rotary Club sent us the link to the meanings of Pledge of Allegiance, beautifully done by Red Skelton; 30 years ago. A Class Act!
I thought I'd share this with you all at the time of great changes, divide, worries, insecurity; here is something we should all reflect upon.
This is a great country and let's keep it great for us and for our future generations!

ovato Real Estate Market Overview, Week of March 19, 2008
It's been almost two months since I last posted the market statistics for the Novato Real Estate Market (part of Marin County). There is a noticeable improvement on the market - Other than a couple of price ranges, most of the others increased sales pending percentage anywhere form 10% to 20% increase in sales for various price range even as the inventory has grown.
My office reported an active March, a lot of buyers out there looking for 'bargains' in Marin county, and Novato is where you will find it!
We are Optimistic!
Want to know the market statistics or go out and see a house or tow? Just give me a call!

I had a GREAT day today -
Called somebody who is a victim of the current Foreclosure Scams (yep, and there are many, unfortunately), wondered if they ended up foreclosing on the house. He told me that his lenders are willing to work with him on his loan and he will be keeping his house after catching up on his missed payments and more. I was so happy hearing this news! The first person I know who will be out of this horrible short sale/foreclosure trouble and I thought for sure, he will be foreclosed upon. I am so happy for him and his family! Hope to hear more of these kind of things. It is just a win/win for everybody!
A young, young couple came in and saw me. They are starting a family and they wanted to have their own home. They would never have been able to buy if not for the current downturn of the housing market. They are such a wonderful and sweet couple, so full of hope and I am hust thrilled that I will be able to help them!
Last but not least, a long and difficult negotiation on request for repair finally reached agreement .... It took us a while but we are there ....
May the best be with you!

This is from my sister, who has been an Independent Broker for the past 30+ years in San Francisco. I guess we won't see this in the Marin Real Estate Landscape - but here are the top 9 most unique buildings in the world that are being built.
