Marlene Dietrich and I spend our after hours donating our time to the Orange County Chapter of the Make-A-Wish foundation as Wish Grantors.

We feel we would like to give back to the community and these children with Life Threatening Conditions.

They amaze you with their attitude towards life, family and their own personal situation.They are always pleasant, smiling, and thinking of others.

Good health, family,community and friends. That's what matters.

I hear that Macy's Department Stores beginning November 9th; take your letter addressed to Santa At The North Pole, to most local Macy's locations and you can drop them into a special Santa letterbox. Those letters will be counted and for each letter received, Macy's will dontate $1.00 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation up to $1,000,000.WOW!!

Letters will then be taken to the Post Office for mailing to Santa. For more information you can go to www.macys.com/believe.

It is a great cause and this could mean upto $1,000,000 for granting Wishes for those great kids who would really appreciate it.

Thank you for your support and Happy Holidays to you and your families

I found an intriguing article for first-time home buyers. In truth, this article applies to all considering buying or selling real estate in today's market. Finally, someone who is not a real estate agent is agreeing with me - now is the time to start thinking about buying!

As a Newport Beach Realtor, when I start talking about buying now, some folks accuse me of just being another crazy Newport Beach real estate agent screaming, "Buy, Buy, Buy!" I'm not. I'll leave the screaming to Mr. Mad Money, Jim Kramer. I just know when the dust settles, down the road, some folks are going to look back and say, "Why didn't I get something back then?" It's especially true with Newport Beach real estate.

Let's hear from Ron Lieber of the New York Times and learn why, "It May Be Time to Think About Buying a House..."

What's up with the street named Coral Cay in Crystal Cove? There are seven homes for sale on this street. One of them is going to be a deal for someone. At least by today's standards. Check out the listing information for 3 Coral Cay. This is an ocean view property in like-new condition on a large lot. Currently the price shows $3.995M. That's not a deal. But, wait, I received an e-mail this week stating the price is coming down to $3.250M. Whoa! That's a good price reduction! A good negotiator might even get it for less.

I can't find my crystal ball so, I can't tell you what's going to happen in the next year. But, for now, 3 Coral Cay is shaping up to be a deal in today's market.

Maybe seller resistance to realistic pricing in Crystal Cove real estate is finally starting to give way.

Hi Everyone:

Wouldn't you like to put a smile on a child's face? Make-A-Wish kids are children with "life threatening" diseases, they spend their days fighting for their health in hospitals and therapy. In their medical world, especially at Christmas Time, it would really be great if we could lift their spirits and add a little happiness to their hospital rooms and bedrooms at home to get a toy or gift certificate.

Use your imagination, a toy for any age, boy or girl, a gift certificate from Target, Blockbuster or McDonalds for the teenagers would make a huge difference!!! We all have so much more than these kids have, let's give from the heart to those not quite as fortunate as we are.....

I will have a box at the front of the office to drop off your contributions, unwrapped and it must be new, not used. If you don't have time to shop, I will be happy to take your contribution for you to get gifts and gift certificates for you, just drop something off to me in on of our Prudential offices at either Corona Del Mar on PCH or Fashion Island office 1400 Newport Center Drive Ste 200, Newport Beach. There will be a Gift Wrapped Box with a Make-A-Wish Sign on it

You're Kindness and Generosity is Greatly Appreciated!!! Call or email me if you have any questions, 949-400-1021!
