homes: Marina Del Rey had a surprise visitor: a Gray Whale
- 06/10/09 10:09 AM
Since Real Estate has picked up, I have been so busy that I did not have time to take a stroll by the beach. Yesterday I decided to take a walk. I was amazed at the number of people by the Channel, did not think much of it and I continued on my stroll. Then I saw two News Media vehicles, now my curiosity was peaked. What is going on? Had a watched the news for the past few days, I would have discovered that since last Friday we had a 20-foot-long California gray whale in our channel. Evidently the whale … (8 comments)

The other day I was at the Airport that is LAX in Los Angeles, waiting for one of my clients flying in to buy property in Malibu. The plane was late and I saw this Magazine called LAX. Interestingly there was an article about Gladstone's of Malibu. They opened a Restaurant in LAX. My first reaction, WOW what a great idea, after all, most people have to be early at the Airport for Security Reasons and they have all this time to wait around. Second, most people are at best apprehensive what if any food there will be on their flight, … (8 comments)

homes: Do you know the forgotten victims of the Real Estate Downturn?
- 12/06/08 05:22 PM
The housing slump hurts more than just people. Animals suffer from the housing market downturn and current economic times too. If you happened to read the LA Times on Saturday, December 6, 2008, the Home Section (Section F) was entitled The Pet Issue. On the front page of Section F was a picture of Baldwin, a black, 1-year old Chihuahua mix currently awaiting adoption (the plight of black dogs and black cats is also addressed in this Section). Animal shelters across the nation, sadly, are filled to overcapacity, due largely in part to pet owners losing their jobs and their homes. … (11 comments)

- 12/05/08 12:53 PM
I have been talking to many prospective buyers in the past few months. There is a common question that keeps appearing: Is it a Great Time to buy a home? The hidden question is "when". The Answer is easy: Now is a Great Time to buy a home. The way the current real estate market is, i.e.: large inventory, anxious sellers, low interest rates, motivated listing agents, it all leads back to the economy. Since sellers need to liquidate or move, to be able to make life changes, here is a great opportunity for a qualified buyer to take advantage of this … (3 comments)
