You can find my book at the San Jose or Los Gatos public libraries, Borders in Los Gatos (check the Local Authors section by the cafe) and the Silicon Valley Association of Realtors Bookstore. The Santa Clara County Association of Realtors Bookstore carries it too. Or, order it online via Amazon: “Get The Best Deal When Selling Your Home In Silicon Valley”. Or call me for a consultation on selling your home and I will give you a copy!

 Jim, my better half, also wrote a book. I confess, though, that it is so high-tech that I only understood the dedication….
Jim Handy’s book, “The Cache Memory Book”
 
 My brother, Steve (Prof. Stephen J. Pope), is a theologian/social ethicist at Boston College. He’s published one book (just finished a second one), edited several others, penned many published articles, and has another book about to be released. This one was the fruit of his doctoral dissertation.
The Evolution of Altruism and the Ordering of Love
 
My sister, Barb, is just awesome but she is somehow under the radar of the web. So it goes! Maybe someday she’ll write a book and I’ll publicize it here Goodness knows she’s smart enough…. 
 
When Jim married me in 1985 I liked football but didn’t follow it all that much. Now that I have a family member on the field, it’s all different (I’m not the woman he married - at least not during football season!). Truthfully, though, I’m as proud of my cousin for the way he handles himself off the field as on it. Good job, Tommy!
The New England Patriots
 
Another one of my second cousins, Ryan Slack, is helping to revolutionize real estate on a national scale. I’m so impressed and proud of him for his work in founding and growing Property Shark first, and now moving on to start Green Pearl.

Mary Pope-Handy Elsewhere on the Web

PopeHandy.com My personal, comprehensive website with hundreds of pages of information. Not to be missed: an “Organizer” for collecting MLS information. Not only can you get alerts (between once a week and 4 times a day, as you like), but you can mark properties as interested, or delete them, or make notes to refer back to on the properties later. Very, very cool.
