I just love my clients they are like family to me. Just about every other week I am either having lunch or dinner with them, or running into them at the post office and around town (it is my way of getting a hug for the day). That is the best part of my job, becoming a part of your lives. This last summer I had a client appreciation party at Lake Gregory so we could all get together and enjoy one another.  It really was such a good time. Phone numbers were exchanged and new friendships were made. You all are such great people that I had to get you together so you could meet, that much love needs to be spread around.  It is an honor and a privilege to do what I do. I get to represent you and help you through what can be one of the most emotional and biggest decisions of your lives. At th... 02/22/2008

  Hello my name is Lisa Seifert your "Crestline area Specialist". I am a Realtor that specializes in the Crestline area real estate market. Valentines day marked my 7th year of living and loving Crestline. It is hard to call what I do a job because I love what I do so much. There is nothing sweeter in life than helping someone realize their dream of owning their own piece of mountain paradise in our beautiful town of Crestline and it's surrounding communities. It is hard to sum up and convey through words what the Crestline lifestyle can be but I will, through this blog, attempt this. I also will be offering you the answers to the questions you might be having about our real estate market here in Crestline.   For instance you might be asking what has been happening so far in this new ye... 02/21/2008

Getting away to a mountain resort shouldn't just be for the elite.  Nestled in the San Bernardino mountains are a network of communities that range in price, area and availability.  When coming to our beautiful mountain, the first place people think of is Lake Arrowhead.  It has a gorgeous lake, shops, dining and homes ranging from the low $300,000 range to the $11,000,000 range.... but there is another community up here that offers lake views that might appeal to a more moderate budget. Lake Gregory which is part of the San Bernardino Regional Parks is in the heart of Crestline.  With vast history of early pioneers and tranquil beauty that your children will remember for a lifetime.  With lakeview homes starting at $219,000 and going up to the mid $500,000 range, this makes Lake Gregor... 02/18/2008

 I went down into Cedarpines Highlands, Burnt Mill Canyon where I have some parcels listed.  I enjoy going there, because of the air and the coolness and the trees and the beauty that is there. There are OLD SOULS in this canyon.  The trees are enormous and plentiful. I once picked up acorns that were the size of those outdoor Christmas lights.  That oak tree is OLD.  It spreads out and makes a beautiful canopy.  I have a pic down at the bottom of this post.                      Tall Pines in Cedarpines Highlands, down in Burnt Mill Canyon.  Blue skies, but the storm was coming in.This is one of the monster trees down in the canyon.  YOu can't tell from the picture, but the base of this tree is probably 50 feet in diameter!  Here are two different oaks.  The acorns I pick up were from t... 11/30/2007

Good Afternoon to the community of AR and Beyond...this is more a freeform, my thoughts.I am in such a great mood today.  After the recent fires here on our mountain, it is FINALLY RAINING in CRESTLINE!  And when I mean raining, I mean, DUMPING rain.  It hasn't stopped raining all day long, which is great to really soak the land and refill Lake Gregory, since the firefighting efforts drained our lake slightly.  I am concerned with mudslides, but hopefully there won't be any. It is also a wonderful day because it is the Christmas season and it is my favorite time of year.  Not only is my birthday coming up, we are finally having colder weather and I have been listening to Trans-Siberian Orchestra's Lost Christmas Eve CD.  If you haven't heard of them, immediately go online and look them ... 11/30/2007

Fire Pics San Bernardino I was able to take these prior to evacuating, and also on the way down the hill. I was very upset that I had to leave, but since my husband wasn't allowed back up, I thought that it was better that I leave also. Thanks everyone for reading my blog; I have tried to keep everyone up to date regarding the fires. Again, if anyone is unable to come up to check the status of their homes, and cannot find the information on the internet posts I've posted, please email me with your home's location, and as soon as they let people over that side, I will check. Take care and God Bless, Amy 10/29/2007

11:42 PMSource: eyewitness From: via email - THANK YOU    Update from LAE 10/24: 6PM: Quite the day... What started as a ‘short' tour to visit homes of friends and clients with pets turned into quite a trip. I drove past every home I knew of up here and each was fine with one exception which, I am sorry to say, was a complete loss and was probably one of the very first to be taken. I believe the mountain to be in great shape and in great hands. As I started out this morning I was cornered by a Sheriff's vehicle as I started to drive out of the LAE parking lot where I was keeping it. Fortunately I had called Sheriff Dispatch to warn of my excursion before starting out. I drove some of North Bay, all of Matterhorn, most of Grass Valley, 189 from the Shell Station up through Twin Peaks and... 10/25/2007
