hermosa beach homes for sale: Text Your Thoughts & Thanks to Our Troops - 11/21/07 07:58 PM
Again, please pardon me if you're aware of this, but I think this is just so cool, everyone should know about it.

I found the following in Inman News and felt compelled to get it out there.  Those of you who regularly read my blog know I've touched on this subject more than once, so to see it put so succinctly, well, I just had to share it.  Please pardon me if you've … (3 comments)

hermosa beach homes for sale: Getting Warm & Fuzzy Over a List Price - 11/05/07 05:50 PM
Talk about gratifying.  Even if the comments made by agents were pure lip service, still... very gratifying.
Since I'm a native to the area, and not exactly new to the business, I pride myself on knowing the local property values.  Of course, I also try to convince my clients to be realistic … (0 comments)

In addition to allowing what's visible below to speak for itself, I just want to add I'm grateful to be associated with a great organization like Coldwell Banker.  They take the strides necessary to keep their associates well informed.  And while I've been saying the media has been blowing things out … (0 comments)

hermosa beach homes for sale: Plagiarism for Points? A Follow Up - 10/22/07 07:30 AM
Nothing like settling back with a cup of coffee after a productive weekend and... hold it.  I was going to write "post to one of my favorite RE sites."
However, now that I see the statement in black and white, I'm forced to take stock and reconsider the weight of those words.
"Favorite:" 'One that … (13 comments)

hermosa beach homes for sale: This Busy in a "Slow" Market? - 10/17/07 10:39 AM
Well, it certainly has been a while!  I'm so overdue to post and so many things have happened, I'm not sure where to begin!  Thankfully, if I may be permitted the use of the term: "It's all good!"  I've been so busy showing and negotiating, it feels like 2004, my best … (4 comments)

hermosa beach homes for sale: "I say, Holmes, (or Homes), what's that you found?" - 09/16/07 02:07 AM
Well, my dear Watson, a great home inspector!
Look, if the Department of Real Estate views the topic as serious enough to require a separate disclosure, as they have for several years now, (Buyer's Inspection Advisory form BIA-A - page 9 and 10 of th CA RPA), having a great home inspection … (1 comments)

hermosa beach homes for sale: Hermosa Sand Section - 09/12/07 11:32 AM
I consider myself a relative newbie with regard to posting here on AR.  During the time I've been getting acquainted with protocol, I've noticed polar opposite opinions on announcing listings in blog posts, whether it is the proper forum, etc.
Since there seems to be a bit of controversy and no set … (0 comments)

hermosa beach homes for sale: Plagiarism for Points? - 09/07/07 07:49 PM
I mean, come on.  Has it come to this, or, as I'm still a relative newbie to blogging on AR, is it an age old problem?
Don't these people know how easy it is to find if the content they post is original, or some re-hashed, hastily re-written, or worse, a direct rip off of another author's … (6 comments)

hermosa beach homes for sale: Profit or Preservation - 09/07/07 03:51 PM
I recently walked the length of the Stand in Hermosa.  It left me feeling rather wistful, even a little sad.  While you'd never know it looking at me now, I've finished the L.A. Marathon three times.
I can't begin to put a number of how many times I've run up and down … (3 comments)

Well, I'm happy to see we now have Mr. Michael Boito amongst our ranks as a Hermosa Beach local.

hermosa beach homes for sale: A Sign of the Times - 09/07/07 01:47 PM
Here's a question I'm really interested to hear some feedback on.
Your yard signs... whose number is on it, yours, or your brokers?
In my office, there's sort of a hierarchy system in place.  The agents who've been in the office for X amount of time, they're allowed to have their direct line on their … (6 comments)

hermosa beach homes for sale: To Cart or Not to Cart - 09/07/07 01:36 AM
Okay, it's no secret.  We're all trying to separate ourselves from the pack in the local market.  After all, everyone knows someone who knows a Realtor® And, while my work ethic of "I'm only as good as my last transaction" always keeps "I'm here to look after my client's best interests, … (3 comments)
