Afternoon Tea Near Palos Verdes - 02/22/12 07:06 PM
I love Afternoon Tea. I find it very relaxing and it leaves me feeling pampered yet energized. In my quest to sample all local offerings, I have learned that Afternoon Tea is what you see above. High Tea is actually a supper meal. The closest location for Afternoon Tea is Trump National, however, it is served during regular lunch hours. Mar’sel at Terranea would be a perfect location (which I have suggested to management) but I have not seen any movement there yet. I have had to widen my circle out of Palos Verdes in my search for Afternoon … (2 comments)

Palos Verdes Real Estate Appraisals - 02/06/12 10:19 PM
I am happy to report that appraisals are coming in at sales price for Palos Verdes homes that I have sold this past year. After the new Fannie Mae appraisal changes, we were all experiencing appraisers from out of the area being assigned to Palos Verdes real estate appraisals and they were coming in low as they did not know the area. This was true for both Palos Verdes homes sales and refinances.
Yesterday, a LA Times article regarding appraisal fee disclosure discussed the issue of who is actually getting paid for these new higher priced appraisals and where … (1 comments)
