There were 24 homes on the July 19, 2011 Palos Verdes real estate Broker’s Tour.  I only viewed four homes and my car’s emergency stabilization system locked down for some reason and I spent two hours waiting for a tow truck to take me to the dealership to have the car repaired and missed the rest of the tour.
Aside from the inconvenience of having an unexpected turn in my plans for the day, waiting in the sun for two hours for a tow was slightly uncomfortable (not happy with the towing service who kept promising to send a truck that never showed … (1 comments)

seller advice: Selling Your Home? Safety First. - 06/11/11 02:19 PM

When owners of Palos Verdes real estate put their homes on the market to sell, there are some recommendations to make it a safe experience.  I tell my clients who are selling their Palos Verdes homes to remove all valuables, prescriptions and financial data during open houses and showings.  It is impossible for Realtors to keep an eye on every room and, as a matter of fact, dishonest guests usually come in large groups and purposely distract the Realtor.
Last month, Lew Sichelman wrote an article in the LA Times entitled, “Play it safe when you show your home”.  Here … (1 comments)
