Yesterday I went to the Legion of Honor in San Francisco to see the part 1 of 5 of Highlights from the Israel Antiquities Authority: The Dead Sea Scrolls and 5,000 Years of Treasures and an Annie Leibowitz exhibit which ends today.
The Legion of Honor was totally packed yesterday. We checked out the Highlights from the Isreal Antiquities Authority first. The highlight was 2 fragments of the dead sea scrolls. One was a piece from Genesis and the second was from Psalms. There was also a collection of gold coins and jewelry from Tiberias, and a newly excavated and restored Byzantine glass table with gold foil. It was the first time for some of the artifacts to be seen outside of Israel. The exhibit was smaller than I expected but was worth it to see all that history.
The big attraction was the Annie Leibowitz exhibit. It had 197 photos mostly taken between 1990 and 2005. It took an hour and a half to see everything. The most attention was paid to the Vanity Fair cover of a pregnant Demi Moore. There were several pictures of her family. We had a good time.
By the time I got home after a long day of playing in San Francisco I was too tired to even get on Active Rain to read all the interesting posts from yesterday.
Have a great day and the next time you are in San Francisco take some time to visit the Legion of Honor. It's a great museum with great views of the bay and the Golden Gate bridge.
A real estate brokerage for independent agents serving the Bay Area and Sacramento Metro areas. We are here to help you with your residential property needs - buying/selling/investing
Walker Real Estate & Associates is a new real estate brokerage. I am the broker and I started Walker Real Estate with a friend as the result of conversations I was having with agents. Many agents with large brokerages have complained about how expensive the fees are to work there and with the soft market we have been experiencing can no longer afford to continue working at their companies. I also had a few agents from small independent brokerages tell me that their brokers decided they didn't want the responsibility of just a few agents so they dropped all their agents. My friend and I had been talking about opening our own real estate company for at least 5 years but have never done it. So after hearing these stories I called him and asked if he was still interested in building our own brokerage. He was still interested and Walker Real Estate & Associates was created.
With the technology that is available today, traditional offices are becoming obsolete. Many agents prefer a mobile working enviornment - their homes, cars, coffee houses, etc... These agents can do all their work via the internet, their computers, fax machines, cell phones.
With all this technology you can work from anywhere. This allows us to provide a brokerage without having a large office and that saves us office space rent, staff, insurance, phone, fax and copies. These savings are passed on to you. These savings also allow us to spend more money on advertising to build brand recognition and create more business for our agents.
Walker Real Estate saves our agents money while providing the same services as traditional real estate brokerages. With commission splits as high as 90% and true profit sharing for agents that qualify, it is possible to earn greater than 100% on your transactions. You can get started today and start to save thousands.
We understand the tremendous expense that agents incur in conducting business and we have created a system that allows agents to keep more money to put into their own business. This allows agents to more fully serve their clients.
We currently focus on residential real estate as either a primary residence or investment property. We understand the needs of investors.
