      <title>Selling Your Home? Know Where The Buyers Are.</title>
      <description>&lt;h1&gt;Selling Your Home? Know Where The Buyers Are.&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a listing agent it is important to know where the buyer's are coming from so I know where to focus my marketing. Be sure your listing agent is spending their time, and advertising budget to attract buyers for your home. Afterall, it's more than putting a sign in the yard. Did you know only 10% of buyers found their home through a for sale sign or an open house sign?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The majority of home buyers in 2012 found their home on the internet, and through a real estate professional. Interestingly, buyer's typlically look for 12 weeks total, and 3 weeks before contacting an agent. 89% of buyer's purchased their home through a real estate agent or broker. Home buyers chose to work with a real estate agent to help them find the right home, and benefited from help understanding the process. And placed a high importance on honesty and integrity.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Relocating from Silicon Valley To Silcon Beach? </title>

&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you're new to Los Angeles, and relocating from Silicon Valley, Welcome to Silicon Beach! Most tech jobs are found&amp;nbsp;in Santa Monica and Venice Beach. &lt;strong&gt;Santa Monica is known for it's excellent schools&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://kimandkristine.tv/findhomes/venice/" title="Venice Beach Homes for Sale, Kim &amp;amp; Kristne" target="_blank"&gt;Venice Beach&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is known for it's creative vibe.

&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="http://kimandkristine.tv/findhomes/marvista/" title="Mar Vista Homes for Sale, Kim &amp;amp; Kristine" target="_blank"&gt;Mar Vista&lt;/a&gt; is still within a bicycle ride.

&lt;li&gt;If you'd like a more urban vibe, yet still want to be west of the 405, consider &lt;a href="http://kimandkristine.tv/findhomes/brentwood/" title="Brentwood Homes for Sale, Kim &amp;amp; Kristine" target="_blank"&gt;Brentwood&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;

      <title>Negotiating Inspection Repairs:  Don't Overwhelm the Sellers!</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This article is so good I had to share. It will be beneficial for both buyers and sellers in Santa Monica's current real estate market. Especially since this is a common problem, and can be a distraction from the buyer's and seller's common goal. Best to keep the big picture in mind when negotiating repairs, and this blog is helpful for just that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div id="reblogging_tag"&gt;Via &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://activerain.com/blogsview/3713869/negotiating-inspection-repairs-don-t-overwhelm-the-sellers-"&gt;Patricia Kennedy (Evers &amp;amp; Company Realtors)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/7/3/8/7/3/ar136750315537837.jpg" height="458" alt="" style="float: right; margin: 5px 15px;" width="300"&gt;&lt;span class="blog_post_h3"&gt;There have been more than a few transactions when my sellers were faced with an inspection repair list that took up three pages of single spaced, fine print, with demands that seemed to amount to rebuilding the entire home - and many of these homes were in more than good condition to begin with.&amp;nbsp; The sellers, more often than not, went into overwhelm and refused to do anything.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Who needs these buyers anyway?&amp;nbsp; Especially in this market.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="blog_post_h3"&gt;All home inspectors have their styles, as do the buyer brokers who help their clients craft their to do list for the sellers.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="blog_post_h3"&gt;Some focus on the important stuff - the major systems and appliances.&amp;nbsp; Others note every nick in the paint, squeaky door hinge, burnt out light bulb and empty toilet paper holder.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="blog_post_h3"&gt;My advice to my buyers is to stick to the important issues that you want the sellers to address.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="blog_post_h3"&gt;If the issue is something that the sellers disclosed to you before you made the offer, then you should have factored it into the price and terms of the contract.&amp;nbsp; If it was not disclosed, or even hidden, then asking the sellers to fix it is completely reasonable.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="blog_post_h3"&gt;I put the electrical system at the very top of my list, because a failure could create total havoc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="blog_post_h3"&gt;Any item that could present a serious health issue also makes the list.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="blog_post_h3"&gt;Plumbing can be important or not.&amp;nbsp; Asking sellers to have leaks and drips fixed is usually reasonable, but I suggest my buyers leave off this type of repair for a bath or kitchen they plan to rip out and renovate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I consider it to be rude to put anything on the punch list that can be fixed with a bottle of WD-40.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="blog_post_h3"&gt;I've started to carry a test light bulb to inspections so we can tell if it's a bulb or the fixture.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="blog_post_h3"&gt;Often, the request for inspection repairs sets the tone for the rest of the transaction.&amp;nbsp; If you beat up on the sellers at this point, they will not look kindly on other requests that you might have to make of&amp;nbsp; them down the line.&amp;nbsp; What if something happens and you need an extension on the appraisal or financing deadlines?&amp;nbsp; What if you have to come back and ask for a pre-settlement occupancy agreement?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="blog_post_h3"&gt;And in many cases, unreasonable requests raise questions about good faith.&amp;nbsp; Sometimes, especially if the buyers "won" a bidding war, they may appear to be trying to renegotiate the contract.&amp;nbsp; Other times, the buyers may be sending a message that they want out of the deal.&amp;nbsp; Even if you were to meet all of their demands, would they try to find another way to avoid buying?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Women's Defense of the Self Workshop, 4/26-4/28, Phoenix, AZ</title>
      <description>&lt;p class="title" style="margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 24px; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: 'Droid Sans', 'Myriad Pro', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #222222; line-height: 24px; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;I wanted to share this amazing workshop with all my female friends, especially Realtor's. &amp;nbsp;Since we are constantly meeting and around new people every day. &amp;nbsp;I have found these skills invaluable for my mind-body connection to relieve stress. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Unfortunately, I've needed it a few times when people have tried to grab me while out showing homes. &amp;nbsp;One time in particular a man reached out to grab me. &amp;nbsp;I looked at him from the corner of my eye and as I did this he pulled his hand back. &amp;nbsp;The difference was that I used the skills from this workshop and didn't panic inside. &amp;nbsp;I instead signaled to him through body language and energy that I could take care of myself. &amp;nbsp;I know none of us want to think about these types of situations including myself. &amp;nbsp;But it does happen to many people especially women. &amp;nbsp;It's great to have the skills to simply redirect these types of situations. &amp;nbsp;It's worth the time and it's even affordable.&amp;nbsp; Please share with your friends, it's a valuable workshop, thanks, Kristine, details below:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Self defense classes are physical, Defense of the self classes combine body and mind training. They go together, and that is what makes this class unique and different from all other self defense classes. Anybody can teach physical self defense, but you need to learn to live with what you learn for the rest of your life. It has to be a change of direction in your life. And combining the body training of self defense with body &amp;amp; mind integration training is what allows women to live differently, in a different awareness, every day. Here is what you will learn in the workshop.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;1.&amp;nbsp; It is the belief of all systematic martial arts disciplines from around the world that the key disciplines for a martial artist is the integration of the Body)(Mind)(Energy Matrix.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The form of that integration is through what martial artists call &amp;lsquo;no mind&amp;rsquo;, or &amp;lsquo;empty mind&amp;rsquo;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;3.&amp;nbsp; Empty Mind is just that-empty.&amp;nbsp; It has these characteristics:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul style="line-height: 20px; text-align: start; background-color: transparent; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;
&lt;li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Mind relaxed and unstressed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Body relaxed and unstressed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Aware of the world around you, without being internally distracted&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Disciplined focus, and when losing balance, the ability to return to balance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Self Centered and Self Centering&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;4. Women&amp;rsquo;s Self Defense Classes need to begin to touch on these integration skills to offset the tension of multi-tasking (business, parenting, relationships, etc.). &amp;nbsp;Why? &amp;nbsp;Because a woman&amp;rsquo;s life crosses into many of those areas everyday, often several times a day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;5. Women&amp;rsquo;s Defense of the Self Classes begin to teach the proper relaxed relationships between the Body and Mind so that the connection releases Energy instead of holding it as stress.&amp;nbsp; To do that requires a better form of Moment Attitude, which helps train Discipline.&amp;nbsp; That pattern of Action creates new Habits, which, when practiced throughout the day leads to a Reflexive Balance.&amp;nbsp; Balance in turn allows for a more relaxed pattern which Releases tension.&amp;nbsp; That relaxation of tension creates good Timing, which is Calming.&amp;nbsp; Calm leads to Self Mastery from which Flows Clarity. &amp;nbsp; Step by step, every martial artist knows the path-but you don&amp;rsquo;t need to be a Black Belt to learn to walk your own path to Clarity.&amp;nbsp; Each of these steps is a part of the Mind Performance Training that goes hand in hand with Body Performance Training, and Stress Reduction Training.&amp;nbsp; Balance)(Release)(Flow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>My #1 Fear About The Silicon Beach Real Estate Market Shift</title>
      <description>&lt;h1&gt;My #1 Fear About The Silicon Beach Real Estate Market Shift&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;My #1 fear about the Silicon Beach real estate market shift from commercial to residential is listings. As you may know &lt;span&gt;Los&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;Angeles&lt;/span&gt;, especially the &lt;span&gt;Westside&lt;/span&gt;, is being name Silicon Beach. The &lt;span&gt;Los&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;Angeles&lt;/span&gt; tech scene continues to grow. Large branded companies, and start ups are taking foot in Silicon Beach. Commercial space is getting more expensive, spaces like &lt;span&gt;ROC&lt;/span&gt; are serving start ups who choose not to plunk down the cash in an expensive lease, and smartly are leading with revenue. As a result, residential real estate is heating up. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Back to my #1 fear, a shortage of listings. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Right now, we have more buyers than seller's in the Silicon Beach areas of Santa Monica, Venice and &lt;span&gt;Playa&lt;/span&gt; Vista. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Every listing we place on the market for sale, at a market price, is greeted with dozens of showings and at least 5 offers. My #1 fear is that seller's will decide to hold on to their property in hopes the real estate market will continue to climb OR will choose to strike while the iron is hot and flood the market with too much inventory. Finding the balance starts with understanding and narrowing what is happening in your neighborhood, your street, and your building. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The seller of our listing in &lt;span&gt;Playa&lt;/span&gt; Vista's Metro condo building had their choice of 6 offers, and potentially more. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;They chose one offer, and have 5 backup offers. Now is the opportunity for another seller in a similar price point to come on the market. A motivated seller in &lt;span&gt;Playa&lt;/span&gt; Vista's Metro building, would have at least 5 opportunities for a real qualified buyer to offer to purchase their home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;I realize this doesn't sound much like a fear. It is a fear, I fear that I will have more buyer's that can't get their offer accepted because their are 5 others competing. I fear that every listing and seller I serve in the Silicon Beach real estate market, and increased pressure to manage the stress of agents, non-stop phone calls, texts, and emails about getting into the property, details about what the seller is looking for in their offer...and having to be the bearer of bad news, "I'm sorry, your offer did not get accepted."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;It is my passion to represent sellers of Silicon Beach Real Estate. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;This is a good fear, and a good problem for seller's to have right now. I'm not complaining, but sharing my fear with you. My #1 fear about the Silicon Beach real estate market shift is lack of inventory, and it's happening right now. To take advantage of the upswing in real estate values, don't hesitate to call me 310-737-8173.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;At Your Service,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Secret Stairs Webwalks, Castellammare, Pacific Palisades, CA</title>
      <description>&lt;h1&gt;Secret Stairs Webwalks, Castellammare, Pacific Palisades, CA&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Looking for an urban escape this holiday weekend? This could be the perfect adventure to work off the&lt;img title="Castellemare, Stairway Map http://www.secretstairs-la.com" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/9/2/6/4/ar136475773646292.png" height="316" alt="Castellemare, Secret Stairways Map" width="400" style="float: right;"&gt; weekday stress and holiday food.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Los Angeles has a network of secret stairs. Long forgotten stairways once used to create access the beach, and parts of the city not easily reached on foot. &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Charles-Fleming/e/B004MQXT9W/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1/186-5559550-7930441" target="_blank"&gt;Charles Fleming&lt;/a&gt; wrote the book on the Los Angeles' secret stairway. His story is inspiring on how he used these walks to improve his well-being.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Back to the walk itself. It's a beauty, and not as busy as the work out/gym stairs found on Adelaide. Castellammare is perched above PCH, is just North of Sunset and neighbor to The Getty Villa. You will have Pacific Ocean Views, ocean breezes, and a bit of old Hollwyood film history. You'll start near Gladstones, and below is a map of the walk. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;To download the entire walk in detail, click &lt;a href="http://www.secretstairs-la.com/pdf/SECRET_STAIRS_WEBWALKS1.pdf" title="Castellemare Stairway Walk" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;If you fall in love with the views, and find you just have to live in Castellamare, Pacific Palisades, CA. The narrow winding strets have Italian names. Click &lt;a href="http://kimandkristine.tv/findhomes/pacific-palisades/" title="Pacific Palisades, Castellammare Homes for Sale" target="_blank"&gt;here to find homes&lt;/a&gt; for sale in Castellammare.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="agent_signature"&gt;

      <title>We Live In Santa Monica Should We Stage Our Home When Selling?</title>
      <description>&lt;h1&gt;We Live In Santa Monica, Should We Stage Our Home When Selling?&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;If you own a home in Santa Monica chances are you know how many people love this beach city.&amp;nbsp; Chances are you were one of them before moving to Santa Monica.&amp;nbsp; When selling your home you may know that it's desirable due to the location.&amp;nbsp; So you might not be aware that there a few things you can do to attract buyers, and get even more money for your Santa Monica home when selling.&amp;nbsp; A big one is home staging.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;We just had a wonderful sale in Santa Monica.&amp;nbsp; Because the seller&amp;nbsp;did staging they had multiple offers and made&amp;nbsp;five times their money on the cost of staging.&amp;nbsp; It really works for all homes large and small.&amp;nbsp; The stager knows how to position your home for a&amp;nbsp;buyer.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;A professional home stager will&amp;nbsp;go through every detail of your home to create the perfect look.&amp;nbsp; There are all kinds of staging that fit many budgets.&amp;nbsp; Full, partial staging, and DIY. Even if the market is hot and homes are selling quickly, we wholeheartedly recommend staging.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Staging is designed to enhance a home, and highlight the best features. It removes you and how you live in the home, and sets a beautiful stage for home buyers to visualize living there. Buyers can easily see themselves living in your home, and as a result&amp;nbsp;you will get a lot more money for your home.&amp;nbsp; We have seen a huge difference between clients that stage and those that don't.&amp;nbsp; We have a certified professional stager with recent client testiomonals to back this up.&amp;nbsp; We are always thinking about how to make our clients more money.&amp;nbsp; When you win, we win too.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="agent_signature"&gt;

      <title>How Is the California Real Estate Market?</title>
      <description>&lt;h1&gt;How Is the California Real Estate Market?&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;The California real estate is on the upswing. February's numbers are in, and we are nearing the end of the first quarter for 2013. Low inventory, and low interest rates are driving the local market here in Santa Monica.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Another factor pushing value and demand upward is L.A.'s tech community affectionately named Silicon Beach. Commercial space is in demand, therefore the talent and executives are seeking homes and rentals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;According to California Association of Realtors, &lt;a href="http://www.car.org/newsstand/newsreleases/2013releases/febsales" title="California Real Estate Sales Report" target="_blank"&gt;February Home Sales Report&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&amp;ldquo;The demand for homes remains solid, but a shortage of homes for sale, especially in the lower-priced segments, is negatively impacting housing sales,&amp;rdquo; said C.A.R. President Don Faught.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Sales of homes priced above $500,000 continue to be strong, posting nearly 31 percent higher than a year ago, while homes priced below $300,000 were down 27 percent from last February due to fewer available homes for sale.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;California Association of Realtor's Cheif Economist, Leslie Appleton-Young, confirms the timeless economic law of supply &amp;amp; demand stating: &amp;ldquo;With housing inventory dropping nearly 39 percent from a year ago, supply constraints continued to propel strong gains in the median price, but also intensified market competition.&amp;nbsp; With an imbalance between supply and demand, home buyers have been fiercely competing with each other.&amp;nbsp; More than half of home sales are receiving multiple offers, with homes getting an average of four to five offers, and some even more.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Seller's have been waiting for values to increase, and it's happening. Buyer's are hoping the traditional selling season for Spring and Summer bring more inventory. The question is will we continue to seek multiple offers, and bidding wars? In my humble opinion, seller's who price their home competitively will see multiple offers. And buyer's who understand the market, have a Realtor in their corner, and have their funds and financing in place will have the winning offer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>I'm Considering A Short Sale In CA.  What Info Does My Lender Need? </title>
      <description>&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;I'm Considering A Short Sale In Santa Monica, CA. &amp;nbsp;What Info Does My Lender Need?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;The larger banks, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Chase, etc., want your financials. &amp;nbsp;Below is a list of required items:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;* 3rd Party Authorization&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;* Hardship Letter&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;* Financial Worksheet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;* Proof of Income, past 30 days&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;* Tax Returns, Federal all pages, 2 most recent years&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;* Banks statements, 2 most recent months&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;* Listing Agreement&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;* Purchase Agreement&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;* HUD-1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;This is enough info to get the short sale initiated with the short sale lender. &amp;nbsp;They will begin the review process for the short sale. &amp;nbsp;They may ask for your income and bank statements each month until closing. &amp;nbsp;Each lender is different due to their investor guideline's for each individual loan. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Extra, special attention should be given when writing the hardship letter. &amp;nbsp;This is a working document that is used by all parties when doing the short sale similar to a business plan. &amp;nbsp;I just can't stress how important these letters are to explain your situation. &amp;nbsp;We spend quite a bit of time in the beginning with our clients to create a solid hardship letter. &amp;nbsp;That's one of the reasons we have been so successful in getting our short sales approved! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Considering a short sale in Santa Monica, CA or Southern CA? For a Confidential Call, 310-737-8173 ask for Kristine Halverson of Prudential.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Relocating from Silicon Valley To Silcon Beach? Check out these Playa Vista Homes $1M-$1.5M.</title>
      <description>&lt;h1&gt;Relocating from Silicon Valley To Silicon Beach?&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Check out these Playa Vista Homes $1M-$1.5M&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Playa Vista is part of the tech boom called Silicon Beach. Facebook, YouTube, FOX and many others are in the commercial development of Playa Vista. The residential development is a few long blocks away or a short bike ride from the office buildings, and restored Howard Hughs aircraft hangers. A movie theater, Whole Foods, and shopping are coming soon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Check out these homes below. My favorite one with beautiful park and bluff views is at 5625 Crescent Park West, #420. It&amp;rsquo;s the penthouse with a 5th floor inside! You have a view of the park. It&amp;rsquo;s so wide that the other side faces Jefferson. However, there is a larger office/executive area so it feels like an office with a view. Perfect for the work/live executive. The elementary school is within walking distance at the end of this street. I just can&amp;rsquo;t say enough about what a great walking community Playa Vista is.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Short Sale Question:  "If I Do A Short Sale Can I Buy Again?" Santa Monica, CA</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Short Sale Question:&amp;nbsp; "If I Do A Short Sale Can I Buy Again?" Santa Monica, CA&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A lot of homewoners are concerend that if they do a short sale they can never buy again.&amp;nbsp; It's a valid question since most homeowners are not making their mortgage payments when doing a short sale.&amp;nbsp; They wonder if the banks will ever lend to them again.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The answer is, "Yes!" you can buy again.&amp;nbsp; Let me share with your our experience and what our clients are doing after the short sale.&amp;nbsp; We started doing short sales in late 2007.&amp;nbsp; At that time homeowner's would have to wait 6 months before buying again.&amp;nbsp; Kind of odd, right?&amp;nbsp; Only 6 months.&amp;nbsp; We had clients that would do a short sale, and live with family for a few months while looking for another home.&amp;nbsp; However, now the wait period is 22-24 months before a bank will lend to the homeowner again.&amp;nbsp; We start working with our clients around month 20 or 21 to get prepared for the loan.&amp;nbsp; They receive competative rates and loan choices.&amp;nbsp; Their mortgage is much less than the previous one.&amp;nbsp; Even when they decide to get a 30 year fixed rate instead of an adjustable like before.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most homeowners don't want to do a short sale.&amp;nbsp; However, if they do the recovery time is minimal compared with not doing a short sale.&amp;nbsp; If you are in need of assitance or think you might soon.&amp;nbsp; Please give us a call and it will be confidential.&amp;nbsp; 310-737-8173 Kristine,&amp;nbsp; Santa Monica, CA&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="agent_signature"&gt;

      <title>Is Silicon Beach Real Estate Flourishing?</title>
      <description>&lt;h1&gt;Is Silicon Beach Real Estate Flourishing?&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;According to Ron McElroy, Silicon Beach is exploding with activity from tech companies old and new. But that is in terms of companies.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;In terms of&amp;nbsp;real estate, yes commercial space is in demand.&amp;nbsp;Residential homes, condos, and rentals are in demand to house the people and talent&amp;nbsp;fueling Silicon Beach companies. With low interest rates, and prime location the demand for real estate was high on the Westside even before Silicon Beach became to be. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;In order to ride this wave, Silicon Beach real estate is serving up...get clear on what your budget is and talk to your local Realtors Kim &amp;amp; Kristine 310-737-8173&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Check out this article from SoCalTech.com,&amp;nbsp;Ron has a great perspective&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Why Silicon Beach Is Flourishing&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;small class="date"&gt;from Ron McElroy&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="image fr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.socaltech.com/images/story/ronmcelroy.jpg" alt="" width="150" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="entry"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; color: #333333; line-height: 18px; font-size: 14px;"&gt;Silicon Beach, as the white-hot start up market in Santa Monica is referred to, is exploding with activity. Albeit the second fiddle to its well known uncle up north, Silicon Valley with a number of high-tech success stories to lay claim such as Google, Paypal, and Logitech, the Silicon Beach market is a fervor of action from all sides of the start up equation. Several components that make up and set the stage for a vibrant start up market to develop have to be present and strong, sort of like a perfect storm! Talent, Capital, Education and acceptance of the alternative are all conditions that have to exist and surge together in order to foster a dynamic start up environment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; color: #333333; line-height: 18px; font-size: 14px;"&gt;Is this happening in Silicon Beach? Well let's see! Talent and Education - USC, UCLA, Pepperdine, in our immediate market, have undergraduate and graduate programs that focus on start up or entrepreneurial education. They are becoming the most popular programs for students disillusioned by the bleak stories of their predecessors for the lack of worthy employment opportunities post graduation. Students are flocking to these programs as the answer to a jobless market. &amp;ldquo;Gain the knowledge and know how to do it your self" is the conclusion to which they are becoming accustomed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; color: #333333; line-height: 18px; font-size: 14px;"&gt;Capital and Alternative &amp;ndash; These are evidenced by the array of Big Venture Capital companies and varied as well as numerous incubator and accelerator companies that are ever present and dedicating more and more effort and resources to the Silicon Beach market. Names like Tech Coast Angels, Karlin Ventures, Canyon Creek on the VC side; and Amplify, Clearstone, Launchpad and Muckerlabs on the incubator accelerator side. The appetite of these VC and start up seed money facilitators is voracious, almost as if there were no other alternative to direct investor funds to. The fervor is at such a pitch we are now seeing foreign players entering the fray with funds from the Middle East, Europe, and even Latin America.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; color: #333333; line-height: 18px; font-size: 14px;"&gt;Taking into consideration that we are at the ground floor of an improving economy and in my opinion are entering a decade long run up in market wealth coupled with the fact that investors, at all levels, are fed up with placing funds in traditional investment vehicles like Wall Street and largess Corporate America, the word "flourish" even doesn't begin to describe the emerging market of Silicon Beach. This proof is in the pudding, watch and see!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; color: #333333; line-height: 18px; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;Ron McElroy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;is the CEO and Founder of&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://realofficecenters.com/" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: #008de6; text-decoration: none; cursor: pointer;"&gt;Real Office Centers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, the office-style-workspace revolutionizing the office environment. His experience in commercial real estate, Class A buildings, and premiere office environments have built his vision for the six ROC locations. Author of Wrong Side of the Tracks, Ron illustrates his journey from a rough adolescence to creating this harmonious, collaborative work environment where he brings the nation&amp;rsquo;s top entertainment and tech startups, investors, university talent, and event companies together in the heart of Santa Monica&amp;rsquo;s Silicon Beach&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>What&#8217;s "Not" Selling In The Silicon Beach Area Of Venice, CA 90291?</title>
      <description>&lt;h1&gt;What&amp;rsquo;s Not Selling In The Silicon Beach Area Of Venice, CA 90291?&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s a great market for Venice Beach&amp;nbsp;and is heating up with each new listing and&amp;nbsp;closed sale. &amp;nbsp;Properties are selling quickly, within&amp;nbsp;the first two weeks, and&amp;nbsp;sometimes over night. &amp;nbsp;We have low inventory. &amp;nbsp;But&amp;nbsp;is anything that comes on the market selling like it did&amp;nbsp;in the last hot market? &amp;nbsp;What is&amp;nbsp;NOT selling?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Here is a list of properties in the Silicon Beach Area of Venice, CA 90291 that have been on the market for 60 days or more:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;The reasons for not selling sooner are luxury and high price like the listing at 57 Windward Ave for $11.9M with 13,796 sq ft.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Another property on 745 Millwood Ave, has 3 charming bungalows and is well taken care of cosmetically and structurally. &amp;nbsp;However, the price tag of $5.4M doesn&amp;rsquo;t work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;A little house on 845 Warren Ave listed at $735,500 is a probate that requires court confirmation. &amp;nbsp;I&amp;rsquo;m sure this will sell way over list price. &amp;nbsp;It&amp;rsquo;s really affordable for most buyers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Sleepers that will be gone soon are 856 Venezia Ave, $2,295,000 charming walk street, and 533 Rialto $1,499,900, I love anything on this street due to walk distance to Abbot Kinney and Beach. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Showings and more info? call Kristine 310-737-8173&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

      <title>Central Park at Playa Vista</title>
      <description>&lt;h1&gt;Central Park At Playa Vista, CA&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;div id="projectTemplateBody"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Playa Vista's Central Park is a great place to relax on a sunny day. Winner of prestigous American Institute for Architecture awards: &lt;img title="Silicon Beach: Playa Vista, Central Park" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/1/9/8/3/0/ar136356264703891.jpg" height="351" alt="Central Park Amphitheater at Playa Vista CA" width="411" style="float: right;"&gt;AIA California Council Merit Award, 2011, and AIA Los Angeles NEXT LA Citation, 2008. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;The photo of the amphitheater shows in the background LEED office buildings which are home to Facebook, and USC School for Creative Technologies. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Playa Vista is one of Silicon Beach's growing communities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;For more information and to search homes inPlaya Vista, read our blog post about &lt;a href="http://kimandkristine.tv/2012/06/the-cost-of-living-in-playa-vista-ca/" title="Playa Vista, CA Real Estate Costs" target="_blank"&gt;The Cost of Living in Playa Vista.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;The architects of Michael Maltzan Architecture describe it best:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;"The 8-acre Playa Vista Park provides an infrastructure of recreation and performance spaces to support expansive experience of public space in our city. Located at the eastern terminus of one of the largest infill urban developments in the United States, the Park creates a flexible campus that links and expands the surrounding context of the office park.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CONNECTING THE PARK AND ITS CONTEXT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;Defined as a series of bands which extend across its length, the Park physically and programmatically links offices to the north and south. Each of these bridges spans series of ponds and figuratively connects the surrounding context with the long bosques of alders, elms, and pines. These tree-lined rooms, defined through their spatial characteristics, form a range of experiences through which visitors can traverse, short-cut across a single bridge, or navigate at random.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BRIDGING A RANGE OF ACTIVITY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;The Park is not a mimetic representation of nature, but is instead defined by activity, utility, and performance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;Rather than creating a series of static scenes in relationship to a fixed linear narrative, the Park encourages a multiplicity of simultaneous itineraries, experiences, and encounters through its function and form. Soccer fields and basketball courts to the west, and amphitheater lawn and woodlands for gathering and relaxation to the east, extend the program areas to the street edge.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ACCESS AND VISUAL CONNECTIONS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;Along its central axis, a single path connects entry plazas at the Park&amp;rsquo;s east and west edges, uniting it in a single perspective. Echoing the historic Howard Hughes runway which once crossed the site, this trajectory is further defined by elongated stripes of color and light, visible not only within the Park but also to aircraft landing at the nearby Los Angeles International Airport. Long all&amp;eacute;es of jacarandas crisscross the Park from east to west, blooming in the spring and early summer to create strong unifying bands of color. The Park is akin to a campus, its tightly integrated network of pathways and programs open and unscripted in access and use.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AN ICONIC BANDSHELL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;Beyond the courts, a large amphitheater slopes to the north, shaping sight lines to a Bandshell at the Park&amp;rsquo;s &amp;nbsp;center. Rising above the park, the Bandshell&amp;rsquo;s circular iconography is defined by three rings that arc above the pedestrian paths, extending trajectories of movement from the adjacent landscape into its dynamic form. The three steel hoops structure the shell&amp;rsquo;s envelope, a pleated membrane that floats above the landscape, its glowing form visible throughout the Park and beyond as day gives way to night. The Bandshell incorporates a flexible lighting grid and an expansive stage which can support a wide range of performances, including theatrical productions, outdoor movies, and concert events."

      <title>Spring Home Selling Season is Here (Almost)</title>
      <description>&lt;h1&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: 18px; color: #000000;"&gt;Spring Home Selling Season is Here (Almost)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;img title="Santa Monica Archtiectural Home" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/5/6/9/0/9/ar136331372690965.JPG" height="225" alt="Santa Monica Home Selling Pros, Kim &amp;amp; Kristine" width="300" style="float: right;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;The Spring home selling season in Santa Monica is almost here. With a shortage of inventory, motiv&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;ated seller's are getting their home ready for the spring selling season. March 20th is the official first day of Spring. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Here are a few tips to prepare your home for sale that will help increase curb appeal, ease buyer's minds, and help with a smooth home inspection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Trim branches so they are 10 feet away from your roof.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Touch up peeling paint.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Have your air conditioning unit serviced and make sure that leaves and debris are removed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Seal any leaks around doors and windows.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Have all of these taken care of? Want top dollar for your home? &lt;a href="http://kimandkristine.tv/contact-us/" title="Santa Monica Home Selling Pros, Kim &amp;amp; Krisitne" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span class="blog_post_h3"&gt;Contact us&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for a complimentary consultation. We will share with you how we get our sellers top dollar for their home, with offers to choose from.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000; font-size: 12px; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Remember: As a seller of property in Santa Monica, or anywhere, you want buyers chasing you...not you chasing buyers! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong id="internal-source-marker_0.01503498968668282" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 19px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;On top of that the painters decided to come today to do touch up&amp;rsquo;s from wear and tear. &amp;nbsp;I talked to them 2 weeks ago. &amp;nbsp;They had time today! &amp;nbsp;Today! &amp;nbsp;When we have a really busy morning and week. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong id="internal-source-marker_0.01503498968668282" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 19px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;I didn&amp;rsquo;t have time make lunch and have been working all morning. &amp;nbsp;Luckily there is this new cafe in Playa Vista in the middle of the Silicon Beach offices. &amp;nbsp;It's called &lt;a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/big-mango-cafe-playa-vista" title="Big Mango Cafe Silicon Beach" target="_blank"&gt;Big Mango Cafe&lt;/a&gt;. I just love their Chinese Chicken Salads. &amp;nbsp;They have them made and ready to go. &amp;nbsp;Their meat is Boar&amp;rsquo;s Head white shredded chicken. &amp;nbsp;It&amp;rsquo;s really healthy and tasty. &amp;nbsp;Made my afternoon a little better then the morning. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Where is Silicon Beach?</title>
      <description>&lt;h1&gt;Where is Silicon Beach?&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title="Silicon Beach LA Tech Map" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/5/4/8/4/ar136313281148456.jpg" height="229" alt="Where is Silicon Beach?" width="359" style="float: right;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://activerain.com/blogsview/3643601/what-is-silicon-beach-" title="What is Silicon Beach?" target="_blank"&gt;Silicon Beach&lt;/a&gt;, located on the Westside of Los Angeles, started in Santa Monica, Venice Beach, heads west into Playa Vista, and then down into El Segundo. Silicon Beach is fueled by tech companies, and entrepreneurial start ups.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to Jeff Solomon of Amplify/LA, the appeal of Santa Monica and Venice Beach is the ability to walk out the door and have access to 25 different choices for food. Culver City is quickly fueling the appeal for great food choices. With the exception of Google, most tech companies do not have an all-inclusive campus.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most tech company entrepreneurs and talent want to live within 15 minutes of work. Residential communities&amp;nbsp;of Silicon Beach are Santa Monica, Venice Beach, West Los Angeles, Brentwood, Marina del Rey, Mar Vista, Culver City, Playa Vista, Westchester, and El Segundo. The best way to find Silicon Beach residential real estate is to &lt;a href="http://kimandkristine.tv/searchbyzip/" title="Silicon Beach Real Estate Search by Zip Code" target="_blank"&gt;search by zip code&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The culture of Silicon Beach real estate work space is one of creativity, community, and collaboration. Interior designer, Chari Jalali of HOK Los Angeles, says the need is to create space with as much flexibility as possible for growth, and teams switching up constantly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Silicon Beach community is drawing world class talent. Being so close to the ocean, and creative communities like Venice Beach speak to a integrated lifestyle. The appeal of Venice Beach is similar to tech companies and start ups; creativity, and outside the box thinking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;People come to Venice Beach because they like it, not to change it. For example, Abbot Kinney has undergone a re-birth in the past 5-10 years. Residents are involved and strive to keep the culture. Pinkberry was briefly on Abbot Kinney, quickly replaced by local N'ice Creamery. You will not find a Starbucks or any common chain on Abbot Kinney or in most of Venice Beach.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The growth of Silicon Beach is causing an upward surge in real estate home prices. Google and it's 500 employees, 40 new tech start ups, media, consulting firms, and investors all need space. Commercial and residential. Home prices have gone up 10 percent since last year.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>I'm Doing A Short Sale, Can My Lender Take My Retirement?</title>
      <description>&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; font-size: 21px; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"&gt;I'm Doing A Short Sale, Can My Lender Take My Retirement?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; font-size: 21px; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;strong id="internal-source-marker_0.32506563956849277" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; white-space: normal; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 19px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;One of the top questions we get asked is what happens to the retirement accounts when doing a short sale? Here is the info.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal; display: inline !important;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 21px; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;401ks, 403bs and Pensions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

In fact, other than the IRS or former spouses, these accounts are protected from all creditors. It is never considered advisable to liquidate or borrow against your retirement savings to save your home. If you recently rolled over money from an employer-sponsored plan into an IRA, that money is protected as well. Be sure to save your account statements that show the rollover.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
