September 12th, 2014: Pepperdine University’s Flags on the Lawn! Diane and I were driving back home on PCH. We went shopping in Camarillo. Every year we try to do something different for her birthdays. This time it was the outlet stores in Camarillo. On our way back we drove by Pepperdine University. There were all these flags on the lawn that you never see anyone… there were thousands of flags mostly US and a few foreign nations’ flags. Clearly it was a tribute to the victims of 9/11/2001. Had we counted I am confident it would have been the exact amount of people who passed away. It was truly a touching moment. Sadly her birthday will never be forgotten because it is the day after 9/11…. If you have time Google photo images of “Flags on the Lawn” at Pepperdine University, because my picture does not do justice how touching this display was… If you are a consumer who is considering buying or selling a home, investment real estate, vacation homes, or beach properties in Southern California, Los Angeles, Century City, Westwood, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Culver City, Playa Vista, Marina Del Rey, Venice or Malibu.

Iron Clad Guarantees are important, if you are a Realtor, an Attorney or any business you must provide what I call the “Iron Clad Guarantee” to stand behind the service or the product…. Anyway I was trying out a new Car wash and I was so amazed at their service…this will be a future blog…but I wanted to share with you their “Iron Clad Guarantee”. Now keep in mind we are in Los Angeles and I have never seen the temperature drop below 48 degrees where we live…at the same time I have never seen Snow in Los Angels unless it was man made for a marketing stunt… So tell me what you think of this Guarantee?

read moreWhat is the Value of a Lot in Bel Air,CA i.e.: the coveted 90077?…
What is the value of a Vacant Land in Bel Air: the coveted 90077 zip code? This sounds like an easy question, but a difficult one to answer. The other day I had an appraiser call me from out of area and wanted to know why and how I priced a vacant lot in Bel Air? Needless to say after a five minute conversation it was clear to me he was not from the area, never the less I felt it was my duty to give him help and have him price the property correctly. I had to explain to him that it makes a huge difference if the Land is on Beverly Glen Blvd vs. if it is on Bellagio Rd. same sized lot could be worth a couple hundred thousand dollars vs. on Bellagio Rd it could be worth a couple million dollars. Yes it is location, noise and comparable values of future homes. Ironically he was getting paid close to $1,000 and he had no idea. How sad, I personally would not have taken on the assignment if I was not familiar with the area and I would have declined the assignment based on lack of familiarity with the location. Oh well, not all of us are created equal. I was just glad the person that needed the appraisal got good information after a 25 minute phone call to me. What would you have done if you were in a similar situation? Would you have stirred the appraiser to the right information? Would you have taken his call? I could go on and on. I guess I am of the belief you do right to one person, maybe someday it will come back to you, i.e.: Karma! Needless to say I was glad I helped at least two people, the appraiser and well as the one who needed the appraisal.
