The
T & T column has been running for the past 13+ years. We
started in The Montclarion and now appear every Friday in the real
estate section of The Montclarion, The Berkeley Voice, The (El
Cerrito) Journal, The Piedmonter, and, most weeks, in The Alameda
Journal. |

Many
of the 500 plus columns written so far are true stories about our
clients, their houses, what made them buy or sell, how they did
it, and - as often as possible - what funny things happened along
the way.
We've
also included how-to stuff such as pricing and staging a house,
washing windows, making a simple garden that buyers will love, and
learning how to see past ugly surfaces. Also, stories of home life:
fireplace comforts, clutter we collect, water in the basement. Some
subjects are aimed at sellers, some at buyers, and others for anyone
who finds them interesting or just amusing.
Our
idea was to demystify real estate, to tell what agents really
do
- not just drive people around and open doors for them - but to
help, and plan, and coordinate. Good agents make things happen
in good ways, and we involve ourselves in solutions for the minutiae
of our clients' lives - from ants in the refrigerator to cross
country moves, from clearing a house lived in for fifty years
to losing keys in the toilet.
