There are many things we notice on the way to and from home. Today we saw a few beautiful moments the California Poppies and then we saw other things as well. Not wanting to go into details there was an animal on the road... so on our way back it was still there... Diane decided to stop in at the Lancaster Shelter and two things caught my eye.  Let me know your thoughts and see if we saw the same thing? Or maybe we all see things from a different perspective.If you are considering buying or selling a home, a luxury home, luxury investment real estate, luxury vacation homes, or luxury beach properties in Southern California, Los Angeles, Century City, Westwood, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Marina Del Rey, Venice or Malibu, feel free to contact me at 310.486.1002 (m) or homes@endrebarat... 04/02/2017

A day trip to the California Poppy Preserve in Lancaster, CAMost of my readers know, I eat and sleep Real Estate in the greater Los Angeles area. At the same time, I have always loved the California Poppies. One year about four or five years ago we went to see them and I was in love. The foothills of the mountains were blanketed with beautiful yellow poppies. The Fields were covered with a yellow blanket as well. The following year was a total bust, we barely found a few on the road side to and from the preserve.Ever since then, for the past three years, I have been yearning to see a full blanket of poppies. This year I felt confident that for some reason it would be a good year. Then the other day I noticed that the neighbor’s home had a blanket of Poppies, as I drove to an appointment... 04/02/2017

Lancaster, CA home of the Air Force Flight Test Museum One of my most memorable and surprising discovery came by accident as Diane and I were driving around Lancaster, CA. Long and behold we ran into Blackbird Air Park an Annex of the Edwards AFT Flight Test Museum. The best part was that The Air Park is Open Friday through Sunday from 11am to 4pm. There is a catch it is subject to Volunteer Availability and Weather.  Weather is not that big of an issue here in Southern California, but Volunteer Availability is another story. Keeping in mind that The Flight Test Historical Foundation is a private organization. It is not a part of the Department of Defense or any of its components and it has no government status. Hence it is mostly run by the people who were involved with the Test Flight... 08/17/2014

It is my opinion based on fact that every FHA 203k loan should be a Standard or Full 203k. In 2005 the Streamlined k came on board as there were those in the industry that felt many small renovation projects didn't really need a "consultant".  Now after about 9 years the Streamlined k accounts for 98% of the problem 203k loans in the industry.  I met a client today who was told by everyone that they should use  a particular contractor on their Streamlined k loan. Her contractor bid under $2,700 and the one that they were told to use came up with a whole lot more work... NOT, but charged nearly $10,000. Remember that 50% of the construction cost is paid to the contractor up front. In this case if the work was really only worth $2,700 and they got 50% of $10,000 they have already been pai... 05/07/2014

Some days we stroll along our merry way, oblivious to details around us.  Perhaps it's a form of therapy, disconnecting from everyone and everything.  Just when you least expect it, something sneaks up on you and takes a bite out of your reality. Recently, I visited the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve with my family.  My daughter wanted to snap some pics of the poppies, as they were in full bloom in the Mojave Desert.  I thought we were only going to take pics, but our adventure turned into a hike. I love hikes.  I love flip flops.  But hikes and flip flops don't exactly mesh.  Just ask the 4 foot snake that lunged out of nowhere and wrapped itself around my ankle, biting me!  Apparently he loved my flip flops too!  I know... what was I thinking? In spite of the posted signs wa... 04/27/2014

My most recent job proves no house is too small for staging. I got a call from a real-estate broker, investor who flips houses on the side. He was just completing a modest house he was flipping and wanted to try staging as the house was vacant. He was concerned, however, that because the house was small, just under 1000 square feet, he didn't want to fill the rooms up with furniture making the rooms look ever smaller. I agreed then lightly staged the home giving purpose to key rooms, and think it came out very well. This little plain-Jane home now has some color and personality                                                                 04/14/2014

This homeowner needed to sell her house quickly so she did everything she needed to do to insure the house was ready to sell.  Not only did she call me and have the vacant home staged but she also had it professionally cleaned and painted on the outside. She consulted with her Realtor to price it correctly and within 24 hours of listing she had 3 offers.  The house is now in escrow and I'm proud to be a part of another successful sale. Home staging is a big part of preparing homes for sale and provides for great marketing photos.  This creates the positive first impressions that results in offers.  This homeowner did her homework, invested her money wisely, and prepared the home to show at it's best, resulting in a great outcome. Kudos to her!                    .                       ... 09/18/2012
