Read MoreA gentle reminder to be prepared

Did you feel it? Earlier this week, we were mid-conversation at a listing appointment in Milpitas when we felt a little jolt. Turns out it was a 2.1 magnitude earthquake! But even though it was just a "baby" quake by California standards, it was a good reminder to be prepared:
Make sure tall dressers, cabinets, and furniture are secured to prevent them from tipping over. Water heaters should also be tied or bolted in place. While you're at it, bring all of your appliances and utilities up to code. And don't forget to keep emergency supplies of potable water and non-perishable food in multiple places — especially water!
