A Probate Artisan

Sunday after church service, my wife, Kathy, and I went to Jackalope – a local artisan fair in Pasadena that comes around twice a year. Kathy and I walked through the aisles and in every direction I looked I was met with the most beautiful and unique works of art. From the glass-made wind chimes

If You’re Truly Thankful, It’s Time To Make A Difference

If you’re truly thankful, it’s time to make a difference. I love Thanksgiving. I love eating the turkey and stuffing and cranberry sauce. I love the pumpkin pie and cheesecake. I love sitting down with my family as we all cram in around our dining table. I love listening to each of them share the

It Only Took Eight Years

A few months ago, I shared about how my son, Ernie, became an Eagle Scout. Well, last week we got to celebrate Ernie and the other scouts in his troop who recently got their Eagle at his Eagle Scout Court of Honor. As a father, it was such an emotional experience to sit there and

Another One of My Favorites…

This week I celebrated my daughter Victoria’s birthday at one of our all-time family-favorite restaurants. Luciano Ristorante is my family’s go-to restaurant for any special occasion. Luciano was born and raised in Rome and brought his family and his recipes to Los Angeles over 20 years ago. The Italian cuisine he serves up with his

The Easy Button

I told you earlier this week about my experience buying a new car. We’re loving our new Honda Pilot, but that meant we had to say goodbye to the Cadillac Escalade that has served us so well over the years. So when the time came to sell, I decided to check out CarMax. I wasn’t

Where the Ladies At?

I got an email yesterday from one of the members of my Probate Fox mastermind community. Her name is Gabby and she shared her notes from our meeting last week. Gabby is crushing it not because she has an innate ability to sell or stay motivated. Her success lies in her ability to identify her

Real Estate Hulkamania

I got to meet Hulk Hogan this week. When I told my kids about it, they had no clue who he was. But back when I was growing up in the 80s, life was tough and I needed a hero to look up to. I was literally born into this world homeless. My mom and

What the Heck Was Going On?

There’s an Apple store just across the street from our Probate Fox offices here in Pasadena. This past Friday I was completely confused when I rolled up to my office here in L.A. There were hundreds of people waiting in line across the street. People of all ages and backgrounds together in a line that

Stop Pretending

In our current market, there are lots of great opportunities. Hold on. You don’t believe me? Sure there are a ton of investors and just not enough inventory available. I’ll admit, it’s pretty cut throat out there. But that’s why I don’t go “out there” where everyone else is. This is why I work probate.
