As we get closer to the end of a rollercoaster of a year and one of the more unique holiday seasons we've experienced in our lifetime, home continues to be a central focus of our everyday lives. Where maybe we have taken our homes for granted, I think it's safe to say we all have found more reasons to appreciate the walls that surround us, the yards our kids play in, and the rooms we share moments in. ...
Voters have cast their ballots in favor of Proposition 19 affecting property owners throughout the state of California. While their was some good intent, I believe property owners gave up more than what they gained. The measure addressed two things, transferring property tax basis for homeowners 55 and older and property transfers to children and grandchildren. Here's what the proposition...
2017 started off great. 13 homes sold in the first quarter within 97% of the asking price. But, as in the past, sellers are starting to feel confident and as a result we are seeing "optimistic" pricing. I don't blame sellers. I, like many realtors, am an optimist (you sort of have to be in order to survive in this career). We tell our clients "prices are rising," or "there's no inventory!" and...

Yesterday, Del Aire Park in unincorporated LA County, just reopened after a $4 million renovation. Sure, the gym, community center, and general park facilities were all updated and improved, which is great. But two other great things took place during this renovation -...
If you gage the real estate market by walking around a neighborhood, you would certainly call Valmonte sleepy based on the general absence of for sale signs in the front yards. This reality can be seen a few ways. Maybe you can call it the Holiday calm; who wants to have people touring your home while you're trying to enjoy the special time that is the holiday season? It could be that everyone loves...
According to the PVE Police Department, on Thursday, November 8th, at approximately 9:15 PM, a water main broke under the dirt embankment in front of 2525 Palos Verdes Drive North. The flow of water caused a large amount of dirt / mud from the embankment to slide on to Palos Verdes Drive North, which obstructed the entire roadway. In addition, a nearby utility pole nearly fell because it was no longer...
