By Coco Clayman-Cook
If you are newly retired or about to be retired you may want to consider the LA condo life style.  I will admit to being biased, I am a tremendous fan of this lifestyle.  As a resident of the famed Wilshire Corridor I have first hand experience with the benefits of vertical living.
One of the greatest things about condo life is the convenience.  Vertical living allows you to be close to all of the things you want to be close too, while allowing you to enjoy privacy and safety.  I love the fact that I can quickly … (0 comments)

By Coco Clayman-Cook
As the Holidays approach it is wise to get your home ready for guests, both expected and unexpected.  I like to take some time in early November to make sure that everything is in order in my guest room.  First I check make sure that the closet is clean, de-cluttered and available for my guests.  Then I take the time to stock my guest bathroom with lovely basket of a wide assortment of toiletries.
I instruct my cleaning staff to perform a deep clean on both rooms and to properly air them out.  I make sure my pantry … (1 comments)

By Coco Clayman-Cook
Recently I represented a client who was selling their luxury condo.  Ultimately, the condo sold very quickly to a large corporation based in downtown Los Angeles.  More and more companies are charging their HR departments with the authority to look for and acquire luxury condo properties for company assets.
When you stop to consider how much it costs to house visiting executives in luxury hotels it's easy to see why corporations are now buying luxury condominiums. Real Estate is a strong investment.  If you have the opportunity to build equity instead of throwing money away, it is always … (0 comments)

Selling Your Condo in the Current Market - 11/07/08 09:30 PM
By Coco Clayman-Cook
If you are looking to sell your condo in the current market, there a few crucial things you should be aware of:
1. You need to hire a professional stager.  In this market, it is vital that you put your best foot forward.  Trust me if you have a good stager and the right price you will sell your home much quicker and for a higher price than if you don't.
2. Set the right price on day one.  Don't list the price you are hoping for with the idea in the back of your head that if it doesn't … (0 comments)
