Remembering the Brave: A Tribute to Those Who Stood Against Evil In times of darkness, it is often the courage and determination of a few that brings light and hope to the world. One such figure was Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German theologian and vocal opponent of Hitler's Nazi dictatorship. Bonhoeffer's powerful words serve as a reminder that silence and inaction in the face of evil are not without consequence. This blog post pays tribute to those who sacrificed their lives to save millions, honoring the known and unknown heroes who did not come home. The Power of Words and Actions: Bonhoeffer's words, "Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act," resonate deeply within us. They remind us that remaining silent...

One of the many good reasons to own Irvine real estate is the Orange County Great Park.  The Great Park Balloon is the signature attraction of the park. Between 25 and 30 people can float 400 feet above the park. On clear days, passengers can see 40 miles in every direction. Adult tickets for the balloon are $10. Children are free with an adult ticket. There are lots of activities on firm ground for Irvine real estate owners, too. There are many paths to walk or run. One of the distinctive paths is the Walkable Historical Timeline. It begins at 13,000 BC, when humans reach the Americas and ends at 1989 when the Berlin Wall came down. There are fields and facilities for sports, and visitors can check out sports equipment at the Visitors Center. On Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., stock up...

In 2014 most Orange County homeowners have either sold their homes and upgraded to a bigger homes or they are thinking about selling. Although selling a home in Irvine is exciting you may encounter big problems which could keep buyers away or stop your home from receiving offers. The good news is that even though problems may occur during the sale of your home you can easily eliminate them with this simple problem solving checklist. Problem 1 – You’ve Priced Your Home Too High   Ask any Realtor and they will tell you that price is one of the biggest reasons a home doesn’t sell. Today's buyers can look up recent sales online themselves and know that it’s overpriced. You should consider pricing your home slightly under its market value or right at market value to let the market determine ...
