May, 2015 Dear Neighbor: I’m not sure if the entire market is going crazy or just my share of it.  In my last letter I mentioned that there were not a lot of homes for sale.  That continues to be true, with the only ones not selling being those who, trying to take advantage of the market, have overshot the mark on the price.  Speaking for myself, I can hardly get my listings on the market before I have really good offers. ...Continue Reading!

#1 for Berkshire Hathaway in PV in 2014!

I know it's hard to believe, given the personalized service I give -- no assistants, sub-agents, secretary, transaction coordinator, etc, but I was the #1 agent for Berkshire Hathaway last year in PV, and about #8 on the Hill overall.  This ad is a little hard to read, so my phone number is 310 613-1076, cuz I know you'll want to call right away!

March, 2015 Newsletter

March, 2015 Dear Neighbor: The real estate market hasn’t changed too much since I last wrote in January.  There is still a dearth of homes for sale, which insures that any that come up at a reasonable price don’t last long.  All my listings are in escrow, but I do have a really lovely one level 4 bedroom home at 8 Aurora Drive, RHE, coming up about the time you receive this.  Price will be $1,295,000.  I will probably have others by...Continue Reading!

January 2015 Newsletter

Dear Neighbor: Another year!  I know when I was a kid growing up in Valmonte, even the year 2000 seemed inconceivably far off.  Figured I’d probably die of something before then, but they haven’t got me yet. The subject this month is websites.  The internet has made a lot of things easier and has complicated others.  I’m sure you have as many examples as I do, but the subject is real estate.  When you list your home for sale, you naturally want...Continue Reading!

November 2014 Newsletter

Dear Neighbor: The market continues as before.  I would say it’s about a 7 on a scale of 10.  I sense, though, that many buyers think the market has peaked or is about to.  The argument for buying now remains low interest rates – just over 4% for 30-year fixed.  I’m telling you, we’re all going to look back on this as the good old days. The subject this month is the agent you hire.  Hire me.  OK, letter’s over.  But seriously,...Continue Reading!
