Connie on Fox Business Channels's "Money For Breakfast" Hosted by Alexis Glick

Yesterday morning I woke up VERY early to appear on Fox Business Channel's "Money For Breakfast," hosted by anchor and Business Week VP Alexis Gilck. Because the show airs live on the East Coast, I had to be in the studio on camera...at 4:15am! Needless to say, I was VERY sleepy by the end of the day.

I was asked to speak, along with Director of Deloitte & Touche LLP Real Estate Capital Markets Dennis Yeskey, about the influx of Canadian investors in the United States real estate market. It was an honor to speak with Alexis, who is an extraordinarily talented woman whom I have much respect for. Hopefully I will have honor of being asked to come on her show again in the future!

Working in Los Angeles, I cross paths with buyers from all over the world on a daily basis. One of the things that gives me an edge in working with these clients is the fact that I lived in Europe for seven years. Perhaps that is one of the reasons that I am often asked to comment on international influence on our real estate market- my time abroad gives me a greater insight and perspective to these issues. I think it is important to stay on top of what is happening in our global markets because it inevitably affects us here in the States- especially today, in a time of such uncertainty.
