The Newport Beach 2009 Annual Christmas Tree Lighting is going to be this weekend on November 20 – 21, 2009 at Fashion Island. This very popular holiday tradition to view the Fashion Island Tree Lighting is a wonderful opportunity to start off the holiday season. Here is a picture of last year’s Christmas Tree at Fashion Island as it was being set up. For a picture of last year's tree being set up, view the link at NewportBeachRealEstateCafe.com. The tree this year is not as tall due to the new location on the Atrium Lawn at Fashion Island in Newport Beach by Santa's House.

The event will begin at 6pm tonight, or feel free to come and view the lighting ceremony tomorrow.

But I Am a Real Bird

But I Am a Real Bird

Newport Shores is located in Newport Beach and is home to many creatures including racoons, skunks (bummer for my dog Patrick), possums, herons, seagulls, ducks, wood ducks to name a few. Pelicans visit the Newport Shores area in the winter and it is always a treat to see them. It is always a pleasant surprise when the swan comes to visit. She comes about once a year, and she is pretty tame, and will swim to you and enjoys eating bread. There was previously two swans, now there is only one but I always enjoy seeing her again.

Swan in Newport Shores
Yesterday morning, this beautiful swan was outside our deck, and my daughter was standing there with her bird which is a brown headed parrot sitting on her shoulder - affectionally named B Bird (ok – I know we are not that creative – but it works for him). B Bird is a is a hand fed baby, and is very tame, and is just about a year old ( and is lacking in any outside survival skills), and does have his wings clipped.

Suddenly, B Bird wanted to be a real bird and take flight – right off my daughter’s shoulder and half way across the canal in Newport Shores. Well, B Bird didn’t sink (thank goodness), but he doesn’t have webbed feet to help him swim. So my Daughter Heather (the lifeguard) used to her life-guarding skills to rescue him yesterday. Off the edge of the deck into 60 degree water, she swam to get B Bird in her clothes (she ripped her favorite tee shirt at the same time).
B Bird and Heather
B Bird was soaking wet, and shivering, and had never been that wet before. We dried him and made sure he was warm. B Bird had a precautionary visit to the vet to make sure he was going to be alright from his swim. $140 later, B Bird is on precautionary antibiotics, but is just fine. No harm, no foul (no pun intended!). B Bird just wanted to be a real bird like the other birds in the Canal!
Oh, and when Heather jumped in the Canal, the swan booked it out of there. However, I am glad to see her around again today.

So – another day in Newport Shores.

When and why to do a Short Sale, Newport Beach CA

When and why to do a Short Sale, Newport Beach CA

Dear Friends,

One more time I would like take a brief moment to tell you Thank you, thanks for all your kindly words and comments you gently leave in all my posts I want you to know that all the time I invest here is to provide you with a little knowledge so you are very prepared to take your real estate decisions.

When and why to do a Short Sale.

I'm very sure by now you have a pretty good idea about what is a short-sale or short-pay off (Both terms are the same).

But when to do it and why? Keep in mind that in a short-Sale the homeowner WILL NOT get any equity or money residuals from the sale of the property, so with this in mind a short-sale is not a business proposition.

The sole purpose of a short-sale is to AVOID Foreclosure.

If you need to sale your home because your company is transferring you, because you don't like the neighborhood anymore, or because there is a better and more affordable home next door, are NOT OPTIONS to do a Short-Sale.

If you in the other hand, CAN'T Afford your current or future mortgage payment or if you are going through a strong and meaningful hardship that is or will be preventing you to meet your montly mortgage obligation, you may consider one of the multiple options to avoid foreclosure called "Short-Sale" meaning "We will sell your home so your credit history and score takes less harm than if you end up in Foreclosure"

IMPORTANT: as long as you meet the criteria of a Distress Property Home Owner" you may qualify for a Short-Sale regardless if your home is in a multi-millionare neighborhood.

To answer this and more Pre-foreclosure options please contact me at 714-955-1932 or by email at carlmorales@ochomes-estates.net visit my web site www.carlmorales.com I'm always ready to assist you.
