My very talented friend Xavier has just announced his partnership with Kim Vo and Alberto Borrelli at the uber chic BV2 on Doheny. Xavier does fantastic work and I can't wait to to visit him at his new salon. To celebrate his partnership, he is offering a 20% discount for first time clients as we...

Although I showcase a lot of condos as the Hot Prop, I am always on the lookout for quality single family homes in prime neighborhoods for under 1 million.
