3. You believe in buying HIGH and selling LOW rather than what experts suggest which is buy low and sell high. Duh!

Can you really buy a house at the San Mateo County Fair?

August 12, 2008 · Karin Cunningham · Comment here

The San Mateo County Fair runs from Aug. 8th- Aug. 17. Our office has a booth and we have been really busy answering questions about home prices, loans, REO’s, short sales and all kinds of stuff! Its a casual environment not like the tidy, quiet and clean office we’re accustomed to. Its fun to chat with people at the fair because the atmosphere is not so “closed in”. We have a binder of homes for sale that fair goers can flip through and get a good idea of what homes are selling for in their favorite neighborhoods. Come join us at the fair! We’ll even sign you up to win an iPod nano!

If you haven’t been to San Bruno’s August concerts in San Bruno Park, then you don’t know what you’re missing! This is a great opportunity to meet San Bruno people, see friend’s from school or the neighborhood, and relax.

Children are invited. Families and friends bring dinner or snacks. We lay out big blankets to sit on and enjoy the night away. The weather is always pleasant until the sun goes down so it’s best to bring along some sweatshirts!
