Lori Alden has a B.A. in Political Science from the University of California at Berkeley, and a Ph.D. in economics from the University of California at Davis.  She taught college-level economics for almost twenty years before becoming a licensed real estate broker. 

She's developed several public interest websites, including www.econoclass.com, an online resource for economics teachers, www.foodsubs.com, which describes cooking ingredients and recommends substitutions, and www.equalshares.com, which suggests ways for heirs and divorcees to divide personal property fairly and efficiently, and auctiontipsheet.com, which explains how to save money at real estate auctions.

She's bought and sold several FSBO properties, and is the co-owner, with her daughter, of several local FSBO website businesses, including FSBOSonoma.com, FSBOSolano.com, FSBONapa.com, FSBOAlameda.com, FSBOContraCosta.com, FSBOSac.com, FSBOSantaClara.com, and FSBOSanMateo.com.  She's been a guest on Real Estate Today, a nationally syndicated radio talk show.  FSBOPrimer.com has been cited in The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post as a useful reference for home sellers.
