Sadly, the Vargas family’s Italian vacation is coming to a close. We fly out today to head back home. We’ve all made memories I’m sure we will keep forever. But, I am looking forward to getting back to work. To be honest, I have been doing a bit of work while on the road. I’ve
Just because I’m traveling around Italy with the Vargas clan doesn’t mean I’m not working. I had a conversation yesterday with Eduardo. He’s an associate we are working on a probate property with. The said piece of property is currently in foreclosure. The problem he’s running into is the seller keeps raising the price. I
Have you ever visited the Colosseum in Rome? We are about a week into our 2 1/2 week vacation and yesterday we took a private tour of the Colosseum. Our tour guide was amazing. In fact, he had the same traits my Probate Fox students have: strategy, wisdom, and cleverness. Over the years working in
I’m in Italy for a couple of weeks. It’s actually a work trip. I belong to a group of really sharp entrepreneurs from around the world. We get together three times a year to mastermind. We usually meet somewhere in the United States, but since most of them are from Europe, we decided to make
Happy Independence Day! I’m in Rome for the next two weeks so I won’t be able to celebrate the 4th like I normally would. I’m a typical guy – I love blowing things up! But I don’t think that would go over so well on this side of the pond. Did you ever think about
I was at the gas station yesterday reluctantly putting another hundred bucks in the tank. As I was sitting at the pump sadly watching the total roll past a hundred bucks, I noticed a guy going talking to people filling up about car wax he was selling. I could see that I was next in
I’ve been in this real estate game for a very long time. And most of it (23 years) has been spent specializing in the inherited real estate market. I have had hundreds upon hundreds of conversations with sellers going through probate. Wanna know their biggest motivation for selling the house? They want to get their
So I heard that today is “Take Your Dog To Work Day”. That’s great news for me because I love my dogs. I have taken my German Shepard, Zoe or Kalea my whipador to work many times before. That’s the beauty of real estate. Kids soccer games, dance recitals, take your dog to work day
What’s more important – quantity or quality? It really depends on what you’re talking about. If you’re talking about paper money, I’d rather have a trunk load of slightly used, crumpled 100 dollar bills than a couple of stacks of crisp, freshly minted bills. When it comes to real estate, I’m all about making more
Over the years I’ve developed the ability to recognize almost instantly if someone will be successful in their real estate ventures. All I have to do is look at three of their behaviors: TimeMoneyCommitment Number one revolves around the timeline you create to get a project or task complete. Preparation is important, but lengthened time
This past Wednesday I shared the sad news that Steve Sax’s son had died over the weekend in a military exercise. I hope you took Steve’s advice and gave your loved ones an extra hug yesterday.Like I said, Steve was a childhood hero of mine. Meeting him a couple of years ago really was an
Growing up in LA, there was only one team to love. The Dodgers. And in my humble opinion, one of the greatest Dodgers to ever play the game was Steve Sax. But it wasn’t just his incredible talent at the plate or his impenetrable defense at second base. What I have always admired most about
