Posted on October 22, 2008 by Ron Largent

I went through my third colonoscopy recently. My first was in early 2004 after I discovered, as a 64-year-old very healthy and active businessman, some symptoms that I might have a problem. The first results found a malignant tumor —… Continue Reading →

Who said we’re in a bad market?

Posted on September 18, 2008 by Ron Largent

Part 1 I am so sick of hearing “bad market” I almost puke. We are not — repeat, not — in a bad market for homebuyers right now. We are in one heck of a good market, regardless of the… Continue Reading →

Posted on September 1, 2008 by Ron Largent

Posted on August 20, 2008 by Ron Largent

Part 2 We hear it is a “buyer’s market,” and no doubt it is for the average homebuyer. But is it for the commercial real estate buyer or seller? It goes back to basics: location, location, location. Today, Redding is… Continue Reading →
