Wednesday evening Family Fair. Runs March - October.
Farmers Market, every Friday, 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Runs March - October.
Whittier Area Genealogical Society (WAGS). If you are a family genealogist, you will love WAGS. It has regular meetings, as well as day-long annual meetings, all about genealogy. The next annual meeting will be February 28, 2009, featuring speaker Curt B. Witcher, who will talk about genealogical research in libraries, Census and the Internet.
The Rio Hondo College Lifelong Fitness Center. If you pay for 4 semesters, membership in the Fitness Center is FREE for the rest of your life. Where else can you get such a deal in a health club membership?
Vinatero Wine Shop. It's like the Whittier version of the local "Cheers" bar, where fans of wine and beer hang out in the evening.
Location, Location, Location. Whittier is centrally located. Whether you want to go to downtown Los Angeles or east to the San Bernardino mountains, Whittier is smack-dab right in the middle of the Southland.
Uptown. Great shops, restaurants, parades, Craftsman architecture, cultural events, museums.
Monte's Camera Shop. In addition to modern digital photography, they still provide professional service and advice to film photographers. A great family-owned business.
Little Old Bookshop. It's an old-fashioned bookshop, where you can still buy and sell used books, and find something to read in just about any category. Unlike the chain bookstores, it is another locally-owned business.
Variety of Homes. From Craftsman homes in the Historic District, to upscale homes in Friendly Hills, to view homes in Spyglass Hill, to neighborhoods anchored around city parks, such as Palm Park, Michigan Park, Parnell Park and York Park, Whittier real estate comes in every imaginable style.
What do you love about Whittier?

People have asked me, "Bob, why do they call you the ‘King of Bank Owned Properties'"?
Well, you've heard of the King of Pop. You can call me the King of BOP (Bank Owned Properties).

Other real estate agents in the City of Whittier have started to call me the King because they always see my business card whenever they preview bank owned properties. I preview more vacant, bank owned houses than any other agent in the City of Whittier.
I am always looking at the filthy, run down, bank foreclosed houses in the search for great deals for my buyers. Sometimes, I find a diamond in the rough, a house that just needs a little polish to shine. Sometimes I find a fantastic deal.
Nobody sees as many bank owned houses as I do. Nobody. There have been challengers who have come and gone. After a couple of weeks, they may view a lot of houses; but they don't stay in the hunt. Sure, there may be some agent who beats me for a couple of weeks, but they eventually fade away.
Yesterday I previewed 7 properties. There were a few dogs, but there were also two very good deals.
For the first time buyer, there is a small, two bedroom home for $199,900. It's a bit dirty. The bedrooms need new carpet, and the walls need some paint. The bathroom has been recently updated. The kitchen cabinets need some work, but they are still functional. Polish the hardwood floor in the living room, and it will shine!
For the first time buyer with a little more cash, there is a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom steal. Each of the 3 bedrooms is spacious, including the master bedroom. It has a nice laundry room off the kitchen. Alley access to the garage. They are only asking $305,000 for this 1,424 square foot home.
Remember, if you are looking for your castle, come to the King of BOP!

A colleague in my office lists REOs on a regular basis. Yesterday, while driving through my neighborhood, I saw his sign in front of a house that I hadn't seen before. So, I stopped and called him to get the particulars about the property. I wanted to know when it would go into the MLS, what the price was, how many bedrooms, and all the other pertinent information. Well, it sold before he was able to put it on the market in the MLS.
REOs are selling fast in Whittier!
