75 Degrees to 107 Degrees in Just 2 Hours – Crazy!! I was again reminded about how dramatically the temperatures can vary from our coastal area here in Carlsbad to the California desert.  We enjoy visiting the desert cities from time to time, even when it’s warm, and just returned from a quick getaway. The shift from 75 degrees the other morning when we left, to 107 degrees 2 hours later when we drove down the mountains into Palm Desert, was a bit of a shock.   The nice thing about visiting at this time of year in the desert is it is not crowded, with far less traffic, and it’s easy to get into restaurants for dinner. The downside is a number of restaurants close during the summer months, as do many shops, since there are far fewer tourists, and many residents leave to escape the heat f...

There is a misunderstanding among some sellers, and even agents, and I’m here to clear that up. You can indeed cancel a real estate listing agreement in California. Sellers might be asking themselves, “under what circumstances?” And the answer to that is: almost any.Maybe you changed your mind and you decided you don’t want to sell your house after all. Maybe you didn’t get the job out of state that you were sure you were going to . Maybe your agent is doing a substandard job and you want a different agent. Maybe you decided you want to rent it, or let your aging parents live there, rather than selling. There could be any number of reasons, or no reason at all. Maybe you just feel like canceling the listing agreement.There is even a form to do so among the many in the arsenal of forms f...

What Looks Like a Palm Tree But Isnt!  What looks like a palm tree from a distance but really isn't? A palm tree cell tower! We have been to the California desert (Palm Desert, La Quinta, Palm Springs) a number of times and spied this palm tree cell tower on one of our weekend trips. It was too perfect, even from a distance, so you could tell it was fake.
