I have not seen much if anything regarding our hero lately. However, things in Sacramento are not going well in the real estate industry so golden nuggets are probably not being mined from the email.
From the Sacramento Bee:
“Job growth has slowed down quite a bit in the first months of 2007,” said Howard Roth, chief economist at the California Department of Finance. “Construction, home sales — it’s all going down.”
Which is not news to Rachel Brandon of Sacramento. She shook an emphatic “no” when asked Tuesday if she is better off than she was in 2005.
“My career for the past 10 years was in the mortgage industry,” said Brandon, who is 39. “I have a license to do loans. Two years ago I was making lots of money — I was making deals in my pajamas from home. Now I’m waiting tables at Denny’s for $8 an hour.”
Still, she’s optimistic.
“I really like my job at Denny’s,” she said. “I’m learning quite a bit, and someday I’d like to have my own cafe. But, two years ago if you asked me if I’d be working for $8 an hour today, I’d have said ‘God, no way.’ “
Jamba Juice might be hiring too.

One must wonder what the lovely Rachel, making mega bucks and “doing deals in pajamas at home”, was doing with all that money she made hand over fist for 10 years.
I imagine she probably spent it like hot snot thru a frozen steel nostril.
Denny’s is the very best thing that will ever happen to her…

HA H AHAH AHAH A HAAHAHA!
Sacramento has ALWAYS been a hole and the only reason it ever went anywhere was because idiots would commute to the Bay Area from there. Well here’s a news flash…that market ended in 2001! It was just a matter of time before the RE market followed…
