https://activerain.com/blogs/lesliel93 en-us https://activerain.com/blogsview/2298302/no-amount-of-money Regardless of how long you are in the business of real estate you can't help but to be personally touched by the sincerely appreciate you encounter when you're able to help make someones dreams come true. I experienced this again on Saturday and it brought tears to my eyes.  My buyer gave me the most infectious hug when I told them...this is your new home! Never lose sight of why we are Realtors!  Yes, the money can be great.  However, most rewarding is seeing smiles on your clients faces or looking at children running around in their new home as they pick out their room! It's precious moments like this that remind me why I do what I do.  I work for my clients and I do all that I can to help make their wishes come true!  I'm certain my fellow Realtor colleagues can relate. Happy buying and sell!

Recently I met a lovely couple at a winery tasting in Temecula and I could help but to ask about the logo on their shirt and hat, PRO CLEAN & BLAST.  So Wes Campbell, owner explained, "it's a green alternative to sandblasting or pressure washing!" Wes went on to point a view major difference between his product and traditional blasting/pressure washing. What Makes Pro Clean & Blast Unique?      It's the System!Three Key Areas: Lower blasting pressure Lower water usage Lower media consumption Traditional sandblasting has been around for many years and it works. However, problems involving operator safety, environmental impact and media containment/consumption have paved the way for new technologies such as wet abrasive systems. Wet abrasive blasting is much safer to operate, uses less media, is easier on the environment yet is as effective as traditional sandblasting. So as you think about pressure washing your home, travel trailer, pool deck, etc...think about doing it the GREEN way.  Mother Earth and the environment will thank you!

We might take a trip into Old Town, a quick jaunt to Pechanga, or spend the afternoon in wine country.  Regardless, of what we do...we enjoy making new memories with close friends and family.  Temecula is my home...however, when I share it I feel like I'm out of town exploring a new area all over again! If you haven't been to Temecula...I would suggest putting it on your list of must see places!

The Redhawk Loop is approx. 3.1 miles.  Many people will park their car at one of beautiful parks...I personally prefer to start the jog from my house, which makes the loop approx. 5.1 miles. The loop has a gradual climb which makes it a bit challenging...however, the downhill part is my favorite part!

Well let me tell you! Community Pride is one major attribute you can't ignore about this beautiful community.  I'm not a golfer or someone who likes to antique shop(which Temecula also has to offer)...and I wouldn't consider myself a "high roller"(Temecula is home to the largest Indian gaming casino in California).  However, I do love to drink wine and go shopping!(Did I mention WINE COUNTRY is here too??) The community pride exceeds any great sale or mouthwatering glass of wine!  The pride here is contagious!  There is nothing more satisfying than seeing manicured public areas, clean streets, safe parks and bike/running trails as far as the eye can see. I'm proud to be a resident of Temecula...and I thought you should know :) Leslie Lawson (California Realty Experts) Tue, 22 Mar 2011 16:11:51 -0700 https://activerain.com/blogsview/2202650/why-temecula- https://activerain.com/blogsview/2190578/why-pick-me-as-your-realtor- The world of real estate can be quite challenging for a variety of reasons.  However, what is NEVER challenging to me is having the sincere desire to help people make their dreams come true.
