San Diego State University (SDSU) has a thriving community of LGBT students, faculty, staff, and alumni, all who have worked hard over the years to make the campus a safe, welcoming environment. In her undergraduate years, Ashley Boyd was one of the student leaders who helped the campus achieve its current designation as one of the top universities in the nation for LGBT students. Now pursuing graduate studies, Boyd also continues to dedicate time to the campus in other ways.

SAN DIEGO -- Known as San Diego's oldest LGBT organization, the Imperial Court de San Diego will celebrate its 40th anniversary this weekend with two major events.

The court will host the Imperial State Dinner tonight at 6 pm, which will be presided over by Nicole Murray-Ramirez, who holds the title of Queen Mother I of the Americas in the organization. On Saturday at 7 pm, the 40th anniversary Coronation Ball will be held.

Both of the events will include dinner, pageantry, entertainment, and "much pomp and circumstance."

The way I view it, my job as a Realtor isn’t just to list and sell your property or to just search for and help you purchase a property.

I stay in communication with my clients. There are a lot of decisions along the way that lead up to what your property is worth when you sell or even when you refinance.

A few months back, I had some clients (who we shall call Tom and Phil) ask me to run the comparables (or comps) on their property. They weren’t sure if they wanted to sell or refinance, and it would be tough, because like many others their, home had lost value in recent years.
