When you see hundreds of homes in a year you are bound to see some strange things from time to time. For instance, recently while showing a fixer upper in historic Fresno High, my client peeked around the back of the garage and immediately let out a “whaaaat?”. Of course I knew it had to be good so with iPhone camera in hand I rushed back to meet him and snapped the picture of the tombstone you see above. Yes a tombstone placed in an area that what was somewhat shaped like a grave. My client decided to pass on this one… If all other things were to your liking, would you buy or would the tombstone turn you away?
Looking forward to sharing more ‘whaaaat?’ pics soon!

I grew up in Fresno. Relaxed in its calm breezes, listened with my dad to the crack of the bat at little league baseball games when I was a kid and now take my son to do the same at minor league games. I broadened my mind at its schools (I went to high school right here at San Joaquin Memorial, and to college at Fresno State!) I love that if I drive for two hours in one direction, I can be in the mountains. For two hours in another, luxuriating on a California beach. I can enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere of San Francisco or Los Angeles, but still be able to come home to relaxation, calm, and quiet.
I love where I live, and I also love what I do. I'm lucky to be able to work in a profession in which I get to build relationships; one that has me meeting new people each and every day and helping them to build new lives in my beloved city. I'm lucky enough to work in a profession in which I can marry cutting-edge technologies and marketing techniques to good, old-fashioned, nose-to-the-grindstone work. I am lucky enough to work in a profession that allows me to work as an advocate for my clients; to use every tool at my disposal to get a job done well for them, and with as little stress and expense as possible.
I love my city. I love my job. One inspires my excellence for the other.
Fresno? I say FresYES
