Pooling Your Resources
Rooftop Pool Bar in Beverly Hills

UrbanDaddy - Thompson Beverly Hills

Top of the world-been there, done that.

Top of a Beverly Hills hotel in your swimsuit, with a stiff drink in your hand-been there...but happy to do it again. Welcome to ABH, the new rooftop pool bar atop the Thompson Hotel.

As soon as you step out from the elevator lobby, you'll be greeted by the bar (so the design was well-conceived), shaded by a Sabal Blackburniana palm whose helicopter delivery shut down Wilshire over the weekend. Grab a drink and settle into your private corner cabana-the best place to fuel up for your complete lack of physical activity, with some sushi from BondST downstairs.

Once the pool's swimmable (should be a couple of weeks), you have two options-dive in, or if you're feeling extra-ambitious/voyeuristic, head to the indoor gym downstairs, which offers porthole-window views of the tanned bodies moving gracefully through the blue water above.

ABH (which stands for "Above Beverly Hills") will technically be open only to guests of the hotel-but if you don't want to get a room, we hear that friends of the management shouldn't have a problem heading all the way up after dinner.

Just remember to wait a bit before diving in.

CAR CONFERENCE ~ SACRAMENTO

Just returned from the CAR Conference in Sacramento last week.

It was amazing and I am still overwhelmed at the quality of individuals and professionals who "volunteer" their time to be "Directors" for the State.

Thank You to all of those that I met....and I hope to see you again and possibly network together referring each other business and sharing ideas together in the future.

Also, Thank You to networks like Active Rain who provide such a great avenue to Realtors/Professionals, such as myself, to network, exchange ideas, refer, etc. It's AWESOME.

Here are some of my video broadcasts that I just posted on YouTube.com yesterday.

As you will see I'm still getting used to this, but appreciate the avenue to spread information so quickly.

Have a fantastic day and Father's Day Weekend!!

My Best,

Todd

Hello and Good Morning!!

Was up late last night working on my first vlog, or at least broadcast saying that there's much more to come....it is kind of not that polished. I'm ok with it though for my first one.

Good Monday Morning to You!!

Hope that you're having a great year so far. Mine has been slow start and then when I finally realized how much I have to do, especially in getting better organized, I am working round the clock now.....

Over the weekend was working with a Relocation client from Florida. They were in (husband and wife) for Saturday and Sunday only, so alot of pressure was on to find the "right" place for them to live. I think we accomplished this....and are busily working on it as I type this entry to you. I showed them properties in Glendora, Claremont, LaVerne, San Dimas and Rancho Cucamonga. Yes, busy weekend!! They fell in love with a property in Rancho Cucamonga, near Victoria Gardens....Great Choice!! Nothing like being close to shopping and what many call, Downtown Rancho Cucamonga.

I will be participating in an upcoming auction, so if any of you are looking for auction properties and need a good Realtor Professional who specializes in Repossessed and Bank Owned Properties, I'm your man and please feel free to contact me.

Hope you have a great week!!

My Best,

Todd
