Today's open house search was all about Brentwood! Brentwood is definitely a neighborhood that I hold dear and near to my heart. I had an apartment there for a couple of years when I was pretty fresh out of school and absolutely loved it. For being a considerably affluent area, the vibe in Brentw...

As I have mentioned in the Selling section of my website (http://richkidsrealestate.com/sellers.php), pricing your home correctly is key if you want to make the strongest impact on the market and make as much money as you can on the sale of your home. I know your house has a better view than the ...

This was my favorite house that I saw yesterday on my Sunday open house tour! It's located in the neighborhood I was describing in my last post (off CH, between Wilshire and 3rd) and it's just head to toe amazing! Typically I don't love when there is a new, 2 story, larger home on a street with m...

This Sunday I braved the cold, wind, and rain (OK, it wasn't that bad) to check out the vibe at Sunday open houses. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at what I saw. I previewed about 15 properties in different locations throughout Carthay/West Hollywood/Miracle Mile in the $899,000 to...

As I might have mentioned in previous posts, I am an absolute sucker for Spanish style homes. When I saw this property, I knew right away that it would make the blog. What can I say about this house - it's priced well, immaculately kept, and located on Clinton Street which is a quick stroll to th...

I've previewed this building a couple of times and think it's one of the coolest new condo developments in West Hollywood. Located in prime WeHo between Sunset and Fountain, this building definitely makes the statement on the block. With it's clean lines, open spaces, and ample windows, I believe...

For all my friends that live in The Rob Clark, I wanted to give you a quick update on what's going on in the building! At this time, there are currently three, 1 bedrooms listed for sale ($499,000, $499,000, and $549,000) and 1 studio ($379,000). Much like the condo climate outside of The Rob Cla...

Right now there are so many theories out there about the state of the economy. Some say we are at the bottom, others say we have a few months more to go before we hit the bottom and then things should start to get back to normal. Since none of us have crystal balls (well, except for maybe that tr...

When I was thinking of all the properties I wanted to feature, The Broadway Lofts was one of the first things that popped into my mind! I leased a beautiful unit in this building to a couple of friends of mine! One word describes this entire scene - SWANK! From the moment you valet your car (the ...

If you are a friend of mine or have thoroughly read though the articles on my site, you will know that I am obsessed with Suze Orman. I can remember going out on a Friday nights, getting home around 2am to scarf down my post cocktails McDonalds, and watching Suze Orman on TV - ahhh memories! Love...
