Bruss: Don't buy if you can't afford it

Re: 'Remembering Bob Bruss' (Sept. 26)

Dear Editor:

I usually don't take the time to respond in writing to articles that appear in your fine publication, but Jessica Swesey's tribute to Bob Bruss really struck me.

I was not only reminded what a wonderful treasure Bob was as I tried to navigate through my 20-year-plus career in Bay Area residential real estate, but also how refreshing Jessica's main message is -- especially during these stressful economic times: Why not wait until you can afford that home before you actually try to buy it?

What a concept. …

Thank you, Jessica, for such a timely tribute and such a simple but critically important message.

Dear Editor:

Bob Bruss was a straight shooter who didn't suffer bull**** artists masquerading as how-to book authors. And much to my enjoyment, he regularly tore the fraudsters a new one in print!
