[This is part of a series of posts on the home buying process I'm going thru. To see the full set, visit the house category archives.]
Now that I officially own the house (well, the bank owns it, but they're gonna let me live there), I wanted to put out a recommendation for the realtor that helped me through the home buying experience. She always had good advice and was patient with me. And she was always one step ahead of me in making sure the right paperwork got to all the right people.
If you're in the South Bay and looking for a house, give Pam a call. Or visit her web site: PamBlackman.com. While she mainly deals with the Los Altos, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, and Cupertino area, she had no trouble with me running all over Campbell and San Jose too.

Hmm, a plug..nice Jeremy! I know she'll be happy to have been mentioned. Again, congrats on the house.
Actually, YOU own the house. The bank just has a lien on it. That means if you don't pay them, they get to take it, but as long as you meet your obligation, the house is yours and you have all rights of ownership.
Yeah, I know. But it's more amusing to say that they bank just lets me live there. ;-)
Nice link, but perhaps it would have been more effective if you had used some proper keywords as an linkanchor text - just to make googlebot happy ;-) (I don't know whether it makes sense for the new yahoo search.) And congrats for the new house.
The contrast with the UK could not be greater, where over here realtors (or "estate agents") are considered to be the lowest form of pond life imaginable- just below politicians and journalists, in the public respectibility stakes.
