Monday Madness- Buyer Tips on Video

Let’s have fun with videos today. If you have the Flash Player installed, and if my blogging software works correctly you will enjoy a respite from pouring over the fine print of listings and mortgage documents. Monday Madness will help get your week off to a good start.

Monday Madness - Flaccid Folding Stuff ? (make the best of a weak dollar)
Monday Madness - You have Permission! (NAR says buy)
Monday Madness - Realtor Jokes (Realtors just don’t get no respect.)

My other local blogs are slightly more serious:

People are Staying Home in Droves! (extreme non-exodus from San Diego)
Just the Facts, Ma’am (the state of buyer information)

You can follow my East County blog or here, and Carol’s Hillcrest, North Park and Ocean Beach blog. You’re at Redfin, the unbiased source for local real estate information.
