Lender Angelo Di Nallo Los Angeles-Saves The Deal For My Buyer It’s always a pleasure to work with a lender who goes above and beyond their call of duty.

Home Ask The LA Realtor-How important is an open house on my home? Answer: Generally speaking, unless you live in a gated community that does not have free access to the public, there is no real need for an open house.

Today’s “state of the art” lock boxes track every agent that comes into your home. Additionally, they can be set to specific times in which to be accessed providing you with privacy when you need it. The good news is you will not have to take off every weekend and find something to do while your home is being held open. With excellent photos, maps and virtual tours, buyers will have ... 04/02/2011
