listings: El Camino Village Real Estate - By the Numbers - 01/19/12 01:24 PM
El Camino Village is a small pocket of Lawndale and Gardena with a very different feel than the surrounding areas. I is an unincorporate part of LA with mailing addresses in both Gardena and Lawndale and the area is bordered by Crenshaw Blvd to the east, Prarie to the West, Manhattan Beach Blvd to the south and Marine Ave to the north. El Camino Village has a very unique neighborhood feel with a wonderful quality of livng as it is a very walkable neighborhood with local schools often just around the corner, and is primarily zoned for single family homes only … (0 comments)

listings: If it's such a beautiful home.....why don't you prove it? - 05/19/11 06:01 PM
I realize that this is something many of us on AR take issue with on a regular basis, but I'll just never understand it. I just was looking at today's new listings and one caught my eye. It's described as "meticulously maintained home in the (I'll leave out the location). Open flowing floor plan with master on the first floor and 2 bedrooms upstairs. Backyard features grassy play area and tiled patio. This is a move-in condition home." I wanted to know more and there were 5 pictures so I clicked to open them. This beautiful home had 5 pictures of the … (2 comments)

listings: Something's fishy here.....this listing just doesn't pass the smell test! - 03/24/11 03:25 PM
I have a new ocean view listing coming on the market in Redondo Beach and as is often the case, we've had to push out the date that we intend to bring it on the market. The original plan was to list next week but we've postponed it by a week. This isn't usual of course as this happens as final preparations take a little more time then planned, remodels aren't complete, the weather isn't cooperating, etc........
But this is a new one to me.
Recently Redondo Beach and King Harbor made national news due to millions of … (4 comments)

listings: How multiple offers reveal human nature - 02/21/11 01:14 AM
I always find it interesting just how much of human nature is brought out in a multiple offer situation....I've had buyers that have seemingly been looking forever. They find a home that "would work" but they're certainly not in love with it. The minute they find out there is another offer it becomes the dream home that they've always wanted.
This certainly poses a challenge for realtors as we want to give advice and assistance but it's difficult when a buyers motivation seems to change dramatically....and even more if they don't get it. As the process is often an emotional one … (9 comments)

listings: How do I make changes to my listings on Activerain? - 02/10/11 11:16 AM
I love the pictures and appearance of the listings on ActiveRain. I wish other sites would take note of just how great the high resolution pictures appear.....although I'd certainly like a lot more people to view them somehow but that day will come. I noticed today that one of my listings wasn't showing up so I went to investigate. Oddly enough one showed that it was "pending" and I'm not sure if that meant the upload was pending and it wasn't "live" or if it meant the MLS status was pending. Neither should be the case as I uploaded it a … (0 comments)

listings: More REOs or Bank Owned Homes in the Luxury Market of Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach - 01/05/11 06:35 PM
I have many clients contact me about "foreclosures" in Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach and I often have to go into the details of what this means and that foreclosures generally can mean anything from notice of defaults filed, to short sales listed on the MLS, to bank auctions, to actual REOs or bank owned homes. Each have their own challenges but most of the time they're primarily looking for bank owned homes. Although short sales have gotten much easier and quicker in most cases, bank owned homes are a much more straightforward transaction as most of the unknowns, as to … (0 comments)

listings: Hermosa Beach Condo Update - 12/3/10 - 12/03/10 02:18 PM
While housing prices have remained relatively strong, the condo market has taken a significant hit since the peak of the market and there are some fantastic opportunities for first time home buyers, buyers looking for rental opportunities and those deciding that it makes more sense to buy than rent in this market. Below are the current condos on the market. Of the condos currently for sale 5 are short sales and 1 is a bank owned which is far above the average for Hermosa Beach real estate.

listings: Redondo Beach Bank Owned and REO Opportunities - 11/30/10 08:33 PM
With interest rates remaining historically low, the market slowing down, and sellers becoming more motivated all of the time it's a great time to be a home buyer. Possibly the best source of great homes at below market prices are bank owned or REO properties. While not as prevalent as in more distressed areas around the state, Redondo Beach has seen a recent increase in these properties. Although dealing with banks isn't as simple as dealing with a standard sale, they're still generally much simpler then the short sale process which also offers great opportunities but often with long waits and … (0 comments)

listings: Update to my "MLS updated daily - don't call for availability" Post - 08/23/09 09:57 AM
I often write about things that I really just don't understand or things that realtors do that often don't make sense. I recently posted a blog "Why when the listing status says don't call for status it's usually wrong?" and I just ran into another classic example of this.
I have a client that's interested in viewing a Torrance home and the listing notes state "MLS updated daily - don't call for availability. Offers due via EMAIL by Wed., Aug 19, 5pm."
...That's fantastic so I won't bother you, but the problem is I'm pulling this up on August 24th so … (6 comments)
