vacation: Whiskey's Wisdom: Stop and Smell Them - 07/23/22 07:41 AM
 
"Plenty of people miss their share of happiness,
not because they never found it,
but because they didn't stop to enjoy it."
Writer and Publisher, William Feather
 
 
Your action for today
is to enjoy a simple pleasure
such as a rich tasting cappuccino,
a quiet walk or a good book.
Make some memories along the way,
there's no prize at the end for most hours worked.
But, there are moments, family & friends
that are our gifts to enjoy on your journey.
Design An Extraordinary Day!

vacation: Sunset Spectacular at Spanish Retreat - 02/03/22 08:03 AM
One of the main reasons we bought our latest home was the Mission Bay views and the ocean views when the marine layer cooperates. What we didn't anticipate were the spectacular sunsets that literally stop us in our tracks and lure us out onto our second floor balcony most every evening to enjoy the show.
We feel blessed to sit with a glass of wine and just take it in. Often this delays dinner getting started and can occasionally interrupt me working at my desk for a few minutes.
But I shared with my bride when we bought it, "Don't ever let me … (15 comments)

vacation: No More Vacations? Short-Term Rentals Not Permitted in San Diego, CA? - 03/21/17 07:13 AM
Properties advertised on websites like VRBO (Vacation Rental By Owner) and AirBnB, essentially any rental with less than a 30 day lease, are coming under fire and at the moment, not permitted in San Diego, CA.
As a neighbor I can understand the fight against them, I don't want new vacationers in and out of the house or condo next door every week, it changes the dynamic of living in my home. On the other hand, as a Realtor and investor, holy cow! This is bad! There are some properties in San Diego that make no sense from a cash flow perspective, to rent … (5 comments)

vacation: De Anza Cove @ Mission Bay, San Diego - 11/27/16 09:03 PM

De Anza Cove Mobile Home Park, which occupies 76 acres of the 120 total prime waterfront acreage situated on the North-East end of San Diego’s Mission Bay has gone from a bustling mobile home park, to ghost town while this year. The residents moved out in 2 separate phases: Jan 13, 2016 phase 1 and by October 2016, phase 2 as agreed to in a $29 million dollar settlement between the City of San Diego and the residents of De Anza Cove.
 
This battle in the courts began back in 1979, as the City of San Diego has been trying for decades, … (1 comments)

PSSST...You read Part One, yes? If not here you go:
Job Posting: No Day Off, No Vacations, Apply Within (part 1)
 
I’ll preface this with I’m fully aware that when you are new in real estate, or you relocate and start over in a new city or when extraordinary markets occur, (as we who went through the Great Depreciation of 2006-2011 can attest to...) you need to do what it takes to get your business to a place where this advice makes sense. But I also know, the longer you delay it, … (6 comments)

I wonder how many people would apply for that job?  Guess what? Several thousand do ever month in The Real Estate Industry. They jump into real estate for the “freedom” and the lack of a financial ceiling (did they know there’s no financial floor either)? They get to be their own boss, work flexible hours and oh by the way; they “love people & houses”! Ah, then reality hits like the mirror of an actor before hair & makeup. You’re at the whim of your clients’ behavior and schedules…or so it … (3 comments)

Have you ever heard the story of the tourist that went on vacation and never left? Have you ever fantasized about living in your favorite vacation spot? Well my friends, I’m living that dream the last 14 years! My bride and I vacationed here in San Diego & La Jolla, CA the summer of 2003 and were living here by Thanksgiving! We’ve lived in La Jolla, and San Diego’s University City & Sorrento Mesa; all make up University Towne Centre (UTC as the locals call it).

vacation: HOT Weather HOT Real Estate What's on FIRE in My Market - 07/31/16 02:56 AM
HOT Weather
Weather in San Diego is always sunny & 70 degrees, however, lately it's been sunny and in the 80's & 90's...it's hot!!! We get invaded every summer by "Zoners", "Zonies" and bad drivers: yep I said that. Many AZ folks spend their summers in San Diego to escape their 116 degree summer heat.
 
I have lived in San Diego for almost 13 years now and I can share that Jan-Feb is cold (if you consider 50's & 60's cold). March-June is a mixed bag of Sunny days, Rainy days and Grey Marine Layer days known as May Grey & June Gloom. … (3 comments)

Theme Parks & Fun Centers!
