IS IT IMPORTANT IF YOUR REALTOR IS NOT A MEMBER OF BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU? SAN PEDRO CA REAL ESTATE Recently I received a call from the Better Business Bureau.  I was startled at first and wondered why they were calling.  It turns out they wanted me to become a member. The price is $1 per day and you pay for your membership one year at a time.  Basically they want a check for $365!! The person who called me said that they had 6 phone calls from 6 seperate people who wanted to work with me but only if I was a member in good standing.  The bureau of course was not able to say that I was a member so apparently those clients were lost. In any event, as a consumer you should check up on your Realtor just like you would with any professional that you use.  Unlike contractors though, Realtors... 03/23/2010

Leprechauns are hard to find, but during my new listing previewing on St. Patrick's Day one found me at a friend's broker open house in South Shores, one of San Pedro's coastal communities.    Many of the homes for sale in South Shores have spectacular veiws of the ocean and Catalina Island, and the few that are perched on the bluffs directly above the Pacific Ocean enjoy unobstructed panoramic ocean view.  If you're thinking of going coastal, but also want a bargain price, start your view home search in South Shores.   If you would like a tour of South Shore homes for sale, I'd love to be your guide.  I can't promise we'll run into a Leprechaun, but I do promise we'll find some lovely ocean view homes!

  By the time I realized it, it was too late! Buying or selling a home in San Pedro CA? Are you thinking about buying or selling a home in San Pedro CA? Let me ask you a question?  Have you ever missed your boat or a plane?  Did the bus ever leave without you?  Sometimes we don’t pay attention to what is going on around us until it is too late.    I talk to buyers all the time who tell me they are searching for a “deal!”  I have to tell you that if you buy a home right now, you are getting a deal!  A great deal in fact!  With prices being 50% of what they were in most areas and interest rates hovering at 5%, how can you not be getting a deal?  The mentality I run across is that buyers believe sellers are desperate and that homes are sitting on the market and no one is buying.  Therefore... 01/29/2010

Sandwich Saloon does fund raiser to benefit the arts at Taper Elementary School, San Pedro CA It was a busy day for Sandwich Saloon this past Saturday, January 23rd.  The restaurant helped with a fund raiser to benefit the arts for Taper Elementary School.  According to Steve Krumbi, Sandwich Saloon was able to help Taper raise over $220 towards their 4th and 5th grade arts program.  This is primarily to help with costumes and props for plays that the children are participating in.  The fundraiser was a great success!  If you haven't been to Sandwich Saloon, you have to come to try one of their great sandwiches!  They are a favorite around San Pedro!  Congratulations to Taper Elementary School!  Parents, students and teachers can look forward to some great plays this year! 01/25/2010
