They love our city- Officer Campos and Officer Garcia-love working here in Redondo Beach. Even if it means being bitten by a ‘Possum....opossum...Officers today took the animal to release into the wilder parts of our county. The neighbor said he was eating the raccoons food... food is food...How will a skunk, cat raccoon or opossum know the difference in whose food is available. It reminds me of Indians and land...it never occurred to them that someone would divide it up and sell it.What do you readers think? Feed some wild animals and trap others? most important is the good service the animal control in Redondo provides. Did you know that a skunk has to be trapped in a very special cage...? They do. It has to do with the skunk smell. The officers got a special slip harness to put on th... 03/07/2009

NAR (National Association of Realtors) Working for Us - this is a good thing as we just paid our dues (which are not cheap by the way.)  It's good to know they are going to good use.  Here is the latest scoop on the Stimulus Package of 2009! Here's the NAR article for you to read.      Dear Fellow REALTOR®,   Here's our take on the Stimulis Bill and Treasury announcements made this week. We look at the Stimulis package AND the Treasury's package holistically, in compliment with each other - mostly because that's how the Obama team is looking at it. Your representatives, the NAR Board of Directors, asked us in November to do 4 things (with an unspoken but clearly understood mandate to PRESERVE what we already have). Here they are: 1) get loan limits raised for high cost areas, 2) make th... 02/13/2009

Home Staging is all about marketing solutions to help home sellers get their homes sold fast. Marketing solutions often translate into playing up or down features in a home to bring out the homes beauty but, many times home sellers run into decorating obstacles like a curved wall.

The new Riviera Coast Development features several different floor plans and architectural features. One of the units was built with a fabulous curved wall with a fireplace that serves as a main focal point. The dilemma, how to play up this feature since artwork could not be hung and painting was not an option.  Here is wh... 02/08/2009

In this report, for each area of Redondo Beach, I have collected the number of active listings, the number of homes in escrow, the number of homes sold, and then the minimum, median, and maximum price for active and sold properties. A few points of interest that I noted while reviewing this data: Sales in the North Redondo Beach areas of Villas North and South (151 & 152) have been especially brisk in the past month (or so).  In fact, in area 151, there is about 50% more homes in escrow than the average number of monthly closed transactions in that area. There are 93 active properties in N Redondo, and 151 active listings in S. Redondo.  However N. Redondo sales in the last 6 months are at 190, and S. Redondo is at 122.  North Redondo activity is very obviously more brisk than S. Redond... 01/24/2009

Melaleuca? What...Melaleuca is a pine tree from Australia that has natural micro biotic and antibacterial properties in it.  You may be familar with it under it's other name- Tea Tree oil. This is the basic ingredient in Melaleuca Products. I kept hearing about this growing "green" manufacturer of natural products from vitamins to cleaning products and more. The best thing I have experienced with these products is the non toxic, no fumes, easy cleaning products. Cleans better than the store products and no stinging eyes, burning lungs and finally I have some relief. I have fibromyalgia and we are very sensitive to fumes, fragrances etc...I now do not avoid my bathroom cleaning.  I have some friends and clients that are joining the Melalucca business lately, so I thought I would pass thi... 01/19/2009

The South Bay has a thriving surfer community, with many popular surf spots stretching from El Segundo all the way down to Palos Verdes.  On weekends you will find hundreds (yes, hundreds) of surfers enjoying the waves - especially when the waves are epic! As a surfer myself, I have tried several different spots in the South Bay, as well as Orange county and other parts of Los Angeles county.  But two of my favorites are located just a few miles from where I live and work:  El Porto and Rat Beach. El Porto is located at the northern-most end of Manhattan Beach at 45th Street.  In the winter, you'll find the best, most dedicated surfers at El Porto as the waves are much larger and more advanced.  With much milder surf in the summer time, you'll find a more diverse crowd of surfers.  Stil... 01/17/2009
