selling a home: Is Los Angeles Real Estate a Buyers' Market? - 03/27/12 10:18 AM
Following my recent post:  Los Angeles real Estate is it a Sellers’ Market

selling a home: Don't be Afraid to Use your Los Angeles RealtorĀ® for Both Ends of the Deal - 01/25/12 08:47 PM

selling a home: Echo Park, Los Angeles - An Up and Coming Place to Live - 11/03/09 10:47 AM
I just showed a property in Echo Park to a client of mine.  It is a new, loft-style condo development on a busy street, but it has tremendous views. (You can see the Hollywood sign top left and Griffith Park Observatory just below and to the right)


Every time I visit Echo Park I  am reminded of its uniqueness.  There are so many different neighborhoods and architectural styles, from mid-century modern, and craftsman, to the modern, and the area is a veritable melting pot of cultures.Its proximity to Downtown Los Angeles and  Burbank, and Universal City makes Echo Park … (6 comments)
