Seldom does an article offer real hard concrete advise. Seldom is it original. If I ever recommended one to read this is it. This is the pearl inside the shell for recovery. Read this and share it, if you feel its as great as I think it is. How do we get this to be what people talk about instead of doom gloom doom..

Back when...all this started. The sales just...stopped. It took time for people and the press to start to comment. Realtors were like sailboats on an ocean without wind. We just suddenly sat there. Some of us had just bought or sold property and were caught unprepared out on the ocean. We have been paddling in ever since.
Many of us are using our savings to stay afloat. Many went to other industries. The numbers in California are that we had 50 thousand Realtors. Only about 1200 sold 5 or more homes. Only 700 sold 6 or more homes. Staggering information. In the South Bay area, right here in Hermosa and Redondo Beach we couldn't find lenders to loan over the 629K. This alone hit the sales in these ocean view properties well over 1 million.
Cash for clunkers worked for car sales. It helped the green America idea for cleaner air.
All the things we do are synergistic. All things are connected. We need cars to go to work. We need power for the cars, We need homes for our families and home taxes to pay for our schools and public services.
Right now we are in the clean up of our generation. I pray the leadership in our country will make miraculous headway in creating the History they can proudly bears their name.
My seller says his home is worth what its worth and he could care less.
Does the July 30th lender rule change our market? Sellers don't see it yet if they are actively showing their home.
Does the BANK know? Oh yes, and they are having to lower the prices. This is because they are dealing with so many. They have to bend over, and over.
The seller dealing with one house to sell.. well how many opprotunities do they get to practice.
We need that buyer...and they need that loan. I would love to see some comments on this.
Several deals right now have caused people to remove the appraisal as a contingency.
This might not be the time to do that.
Living near the beach is a plus. Does the out of area discount appraiser need to keep his job secure first? Or will the appraiser consider the summer rush to find a home near the beach, in top LA school district WEST HIGH in Torrance.
You should see this. Why? - any person in any industry will realize that we are careening into a new reality in nanoseconds. Prepare your clients, children, everyone to know....what is so.

Itchy dog?
bathe once a week in blue dawn
rinse in 9 parts water to 1 part Listerine ie 9- 1/2 c water and 1 -1/2 cup Listerine
give a omega 3 pill 1 x a day ( I squeese it into their mouth_)
They smell good too

split hot dogs in half long ways , grill , toast the bun and enjoy it. Otherwise stop by 7/11 and they have a 2.99 special dog, chips and drink, maybe only in California
Great for hot Realtors on the road.
I have a great website (I think) but is kind of lonely. With active rain I feel the energy of the voices inside. I get responses, I have connected, I have friends.
My friends have something worthwile to say. Its better, way better than high school but there is a bit of that too. There are the Popular bloggers, the cute way of saying things, the ones who know everything, the smartest, the teachers pets, the overachievers, the underdogs. Its ok here at active rain, we all have a space, a place and a voice.
Thats a lot to love. The way its not like high school is that its cool to share your knowledge. Active rain took me to Inman, to REBAR camps, and it connects me to my real estate friends everywhere.
Here is my yearbook sign in page. ( we make comments on active rain- just like yearbook entries) See you next year! well, see you next post!
Mara Hawks- you make Alabama special to me.
Isabel- you make Miamiasm memorable
Laurie Manny- you make women stand up and cheer ( what a rascal!)
Bridges brothers- you are the jets
RES PRES- you are THE MAN!
see the fun here?

We chose Lynne because we knew she could sell our Hermosa Beach home for over three million dollars and she did. She held open houses every weekend. She had two brokers open and one sunset dinner to show the amazing ocean view. She became like family to us. Actor
We wanted to buy a home and Lynne found us something more than we even started out to find. We bought two on a lot in Hermosa Beach and now live near the beach with an ocean view. Bob, her husband, helped us with his Interior Design Business and we changed and opened up the whole upstairs to include the view. They live the golden rule and gave the best service beyond our expectations. Actor
South Redondo Beach is a great area to live in. We moved here 2 years ago when Lynne found this amazing home. It needed to be updated and she had the vision to show us what could be done the fastest and with the best cost. Our kids are now in schools they love with neighbors and friends and family nearby. She has the care over and beyond for her clients. McClain's
Wow, I wasn't even looking for a home. All I said was that my tax guy said I should buy at the beach and that I've kicked myself for 7 years for not buying a house I saw on Alma in Manhattan Beach. That night she found a house on Alma for me. The next day I bought it. I have tons of realtor friends and clients. But Lynne found it. She's pretty amazing. Everyone loves her. She says my house was easy to find, it looks like a big white 3 story tooth. E. Ines, Dentist
Our dog chose her. She navigated our family through the sale of our family home and worked with us so lovingly. It wasn't easy either. Then we found my own new home in Torrance. It is truly my perfect home. It's a match made in heaven, where Lynne is really from. Try her, you'll see what I mean. T.Tomlinson, Teacher
We prayed every step of the way together. How many realtors do that? The home we thought we wanted and didn't get turned out to be just a preparation for being ready when we did find the one. We just prayed that it would be so obvious if it was right and it was. It was a challenging time in moments emotionally, with listening, and letting go- it worked out perfectly. God put us in this house in Redondo Beach. That is a fact. -C.Miles
All my neighbors asked me how I figured out how to make all the changes to my new homein Torrance. I just told them it was my realtor that knew what to do. It is truly amazing. I have the home I will live and work in forever. I just love it. She is the only realtor I will ever suggest to anybody. She kept every promise. She really worked to put this thing together. I'm so happy.
- S.Trimmingham, Inspector
