This brunch was a very meaning event for me. For many of those who came it was their first outing since the onset of Covid. The music was enchanting, and the guests were wonderful. Just another perfect morning in Altadena.
The San Lyon Swing Jazz Quartet scintillated with their rendition of Belleville Rendez Vous. This is my favorite and therefor it was dedicated to me!
More examples of the the amazing talents we had the privilege to enjoy.
Does YOUR realtor have a side hustle???š²š²š²
You better hope not.
These days it seems like EVERYONE out there has a real estate license. And there is a HUGE difference between an amateur that dabbles in the profession hoping to make an extra buck, and someone who does this as a career.
Do yourself a favor and hire a pro. Youāll thank me in the end.
Have you ever heard about seasonal real estate patterns? You know, sellers hold off selling during the holidays and buyers put off buying. Then Spring time comes around and everyone jumps back in. Well sellers, here are a few reasons you need to list your house right now and donāt wait after tax season.
1. Thereās a shortage of houses for Sale ā Buyers are looking for houses right now, and with todayās record low inventory, the chances of your house getting noticed is REALLY high.
2. Thereās less competition with other sellers. ā Other homeowners may be waiting until later in the year to list, which gives you a headstart, and a leg up on the competition.
3. Mortgage Rates are Low but Rising ā Buyers want to purchase before rates move higher, which means theyāll want to act quickly
Donāt wait 6 more weeks. Letās connect today ā so you have the competitive edge by selling your house while the selling is great.
In a market as nutty as this on has been, buyers are going to great lengths to win a bid and get a property into escrow – including releasing contingencies! š§š§š§

Thatās what weāre talking about in todayās show.
For every one of you out there who owns a property, you KNOW you’ve got a magic number. What is it? PM me. Because I’ve worked with a LOT of sellers recently who listed their homes and actually GOT their magic numbers…and then some! This is an unprecedented time in real estate. If you’ve ever considering selling your home, this is probably the time to investigate it further, because you might be pleasantly surprised with what the market brings.
Recently, there has been a steady stream of people moving out of state to destinations that are less expensive. Most folks don’t think before hand about how difficult a move like this really is. Here are a few tips to make that process a little easier. The biggest take away is this: Consider NOT taking all of your stuff across the country. Instead, keep only those things that are truly irreplaceable, sell and donate the rest, and buy new furniture specifically to fit your new home. It’s a lot easier, and can even be fun. If you need more info, just message me.

So you worked hard to win a bid and get into escrow…but now you want to cancel. Not to worry! This is more common than you might think. Here are a few tips to help you understand the process of cancelling an escrow.Ā The most important thing to remember is that you can get out of escrow for almost any reason – as long as you cancel before your contingency period is over.Ā As long as you cancel before the period is up, you can walk away without fear of losing your earnest money deposit.
The reason you cancel isn’t even all that important. Ā During your inspection period you can literally cancel because you think the house smells bad, or because the neighbors play their music too loudly.Ā If there is any reason whatever that you feel the house isn’t a match for you, then you can walk away.
No one wants to go through the work of viewing a house, writing an offer, winning a bid, getting into escrow, and doing inspections only to have to cancel.Ā However, should it come to that, know that you can back out with confidence.

Steve guided us through the whole process of getting my son’s house ready to put on the market. He answered all our questions promptly and thoroughly. We were amazed at how quickly he pulled together a marketing plan that resulted in 100 parties or individuals attending our two open houses. We were thrilled when we learned that we had received 25 offers. Steve presented the best offers for us to consider and he helped us choose the very best offer. We couldn’t be happier with the results that Steve helped us achieve.
