endre barath berkshire hathaway beverly hills: Skimming Active Rain Market Reports might not be a good idea... - 08/16/18 10:27 PM
Skimming Active Rain Market Reports might not be a good idea if you are trying to write your own sensationalized article. My advice is, it is better to read the explanations and the interpretations, rather than just skim them, since they are written by Local Realtors, who know what their local markets are like. (I get it, Market Reports can be a bit dry, never the less, it might help understanding the Real Estate Market)
Most of my readers know, that I try to address bad information no matter who the source is and try to correct it. Recently, I have written … (33 comments)

endre barath berkshire hathaway beverly hills: The Los Angeles Market Trends report for the 90027 zip code.... - 04/28/18 01:19 PM
The Los Angeles, CA 90027 zip code Market Trends Report is published. Also known as Los Feliz area of Los Angeles. I have read that the Post Office prefers if you write Los Angeles, CA 90027 rather than Los Feliz, CA 900027. 
 
So with that said, the median list price for Los Angeles, CA 90027 is approximately $2,199,000.00. The sellers have a slight advantage over the buyers. If you look at the past few weeks it appears that the market has cooled off a bit. IF this continues we could be potentially seeing a balanced market could be in the works for the Los … (5 comments)

endre barath berkshire hathaway beverly hills: Marketing Winners, Losers and the Future: Observations by Endre Barath - 02/10/18 05:35 PM
This Post is written to be submitted for an Active Rain Challenge sponsored by our friend Jeff Dowler      who asked us to share  our   Marketing Winners, Losers, and the Future: So with that said!
The Losers:
Most savvy Realtors understand, unfortunately there are many opportunities for Realtors to be taken advantage of, via Marketing Silver Bullets by unscrupulous Scammers. I could write a book about them and it would bogle your mind, if you were not privy to some or all these scams. Then there are more subtle ways of taking Realtor’s money.
Just to give you a background: I was marketing a very expensive … (35 comments)

Advice to New Agents entering the Real Estate Profession:  from Endre Barath a Beverly Hills Realtor.
Just to give you a quick background, I started my Real Estate career in Boston, MA and after about three plus years we relocated to Los Angeles. Although I understood that this would create additional challenges from starting over, I have not truly understood the full implications. In some respects, it was good, because necessity forced me to just deal with the challenges. My most important advice is, when you decide that this is your career move, try to stick to a location you are familiar … (34 comments)

Thanksgiving is only eleven days away, no matter where you are in the United States it is just around the corner…
I am so thankful, that I have two of my listings in Escrow and at the same time I am negotiating two other properties. The best part is, here in Los Angeles, all we must worry about is, traffic and not worry about snow or any other natural hazards.
 Now with that said, I just got an email from one of my repeat clients. He wants to see a fixer home tomorrow and I could barely squeeze him in. This is only, … (27 comments)

Santa Monica, CA  90401 has a new Independent Bookstore: The Book Monster
The other day, Diane and I had some business to take care of in Santa Monica, CA, we were done by about 9 am and as we were heading towards the beach to grab breakfast, look what we discovered. Indeed, you guessed it, another Independent Bookstore😊
Immediately, I headed to a nearby parking structure and in we went. I am sure you can just imagine we were probably the first customers in the store.
This of course is not your everyday bookstore, the books are arranged in such a manner, that you … (12 comments)

Real Estate Market Observations by Endre Barath, Jr. Beverly Hills Realtor
Periodically I like to share with my readers, my observations about the Los Angeles Real Estate Market.  Most recently I have been asked by a Real Estate Investors as to what I see as the market movers and what I consider the hurdles are in the greater Los Angeles area.
So, when I gave my answer, I thought other Los Angeles Real Estate Investors might benefit from my observations.
Some of the market movers are the fact that we are still in a low-interest-rate environment, hence this allows novice investors to continue to … (15 comments)

The question was raised via an Active Rain Challenge earlier this month:  please tell us what and why you love being a Beverly Hills, CA Realtor. Why and what do you love about your job?
 There are truly so many points I could have addressed and written about, but then I would not want to bore my readers to tears. The hardest part was for me to narrow down the list and then pick a few points to talk about.
Job security, is always important in everyone’s mind. As an example, during the “Great Recession” too many hard-working people in all profession lost … (38 comments)

Superstitions: Today was and is for a few more minutes Friday the 13th, 2017
First question is: are you superstitious? There are many people who believe that Friday the 13th is bad luck. I am of the school that 13 is a lucky number so Friday the 13th is an even luckier day.
What do I consider saying often?

endre barath berkshire hathaway beverly hills: How do you properly communicate in a world of abbreviations? - 12/25/16 05:29 PM
Living in a world with abbreviations. First in fairness to disclosure, one of my pet peeves is carrying on communications peppered with abbreviations in writing emails or in blog posts or just in conversation, I find it ‘rude’, ‘condescending’ and most of all ‘annoying’.
Every profession has their ‘short cuts’, Real Estate has more than its share. Here in California we have so many forms that I find it is in bad form when people constantly communicate in abbreviations. I am not going to bore you with all of them, rather I will use just use one as an example.

 Background:  when I have and had a little moment in the past few days I started reviewing 2016, as to what I have accomplished, where I could have improved, where I failed and where I succeeded.  To me these are all important self-critiques, without these it is hard to improve and get better in the future.
This year I spent a great deal of effort on tasks that were productive for my business, but I could have done better. Keep in mind as we speak I have now seven Listings as of the past thirty days, and I … (8 comments)

endre barath berkshire hathaway beverly hills: Most expensive home on Benedict Canyon Dr in Beverly Hills... - 12/03/16 11:28 PM
One of the most expensive homes on Benedict Canyon Dr in Beverly Hills, CA happens to have so interesting history. Keep reading and let me know what you think....
One of the many fun aspects of being a Beverly Hills Realtor is, that not only do we get to see some great homes that many people just dream about, but we get the opportunity to walk and look in them. In addition, we get to do a little historical “snooping”. This in turn creates often the phrase which is tried and often abused, but very true in my market: “Oh if the … (20 comments)

Did you hear that the California Supreme Court decided about Dual Agency: Good intention bad results? What are your thoughts?
In my opinion we are going into uncharted territory with this California Supreme Court decision. (This decision was made this past week and some of you might have missed it due to the Thanksgiving Holidays). I believe it is bad for all involved in a Real Estate Transaction. I am also concerned that this will set a bad precedent and will increase liability as well as more litigation in the coming years for all involved.
Background: in 2007 a Malibu Agent listed a … (34 comments)
