Must be Seen to be Believed One of our new favorite blogs is LovelyListing — an incredibly entertaining compendium of some of the strangest and most unappealing real estate listing photography you’ll ever see. While you, as a seller, might briefly agonize over whether to include photos of the walk-in closet or the recently-remodeled powder room, others apparently have no misgivings whatsoever about including photos featuring mold spots, mounds of clutter, weird collections, the owners themselves, their kids, or their pets. From the tacky to the bizarre to the completely inexplicable, from bad Photoshop jobs to subject matter so hideous that no amount of retouching could help, the homes featured here will provide enough entertainment (both comedy and horror) to keep you occupied for hour...

The Ugliest House in America Think your house needs remodeling? Vote for the “Ugliest House in America” We all have improvements we’d like to make to our homes — replace the countertops, refinish the floors, put in new landscaping — but few of our lists include “remove twenty-years’ worth of piled-up junk” or “repair the roof so that it actually covers the entire building.” HomeVestors, a company that specializes in buying and selling “problem homes” and properties with serious structural issues, is currently running its second annual “Ugliest Home in America” contest. The finalists are eight homes from around the country that go far beyond just “ugly” — these properties are in need of a little more than cosmetic improvements. They boast such delightful features as collapsing floors, ga...

When my brother and I started our plumbing company in Sherman Oaks years ago, we wanted to tell people more about our background. We were the Jeep Cherokee twins, and appeared in several commercials for them, as well as appearing in several movies and in the television show, Providence. We enjoyed being in the spotlight, but we firmly believe that family comes first. So when we got married and started families our priorities and focus shifted. Now we spend time with our families and continue to build our plumbing business.

How to Insure Your Luxury Home It’s not just current market value that determines how your home is appraised and for how much it’s insured for. A skilled appraiser needs to consider the fine details of your home. Here’s an excerpt from a post by Roberta Murphy (thanks Roberta)… It is important for the luxury home to be insured at full replacement value, especially when fine craftsmanship and materials have been used in constructing or improving the home. Schussel said that when Chubb takes on the task of restoring the home to its original condition, they take the task very, very seriously. Restoration could involve flying plasterers in from Ireland to restore a mansion in San Diego or an estate in Connecticut. Click here to read the original article:  How to Insure Your Luxury Home

I got a call this week from someone looking to have an 11,000+ square foot, $29.9 million dollar mansion photographed for a magazine cover and profile feature story. They found my work at www.lahomephotography.com and www.gregorystorm.com and loved what they saw. We discussed their needs, I submitted my bid and I booked the job the next day. What I was surprised to find out is they weren't a referral. They had been searching high and low for the right photographers for this job and found me on the Internet. My ActiveRain and Google Maps (read my article on listing your business on Google Maps here) listing helped get me to the top of their search. I've shot many multi-million dollar homes before, but this spectacular mega-million dollar mansion is now my biggest. I had a great time sho...

by Coco Clayman-Cook Los Angeles Luxury condos have made it to the east coast in a manner of speaking. Mireya Navarro wrote an article for the New York Times entitled "Downsizing in Los Angeles: From Mansion to $47 Million Condo." The article appears inspired by Candy Spelling's recent purchase of a luxury condo, but Navarro goes on to outline all of the wonderful attributes featured by a luxury condo. Vertical expansion began in New York ages ago, but with Los Angeles comes a new level of luxury lifestyles. Luxury condos are built in small communities with restaurants, stores and services to meet a person's every need. Luxury condos also come with space for living, entertaining, servants, and guests with more leftover space than many single family homes provide. Navarro explains that c...
