When I am taking a buyer out to look at property, I will always have feedback to offer and am forthcoming to express my opinion to make sure that my client takes an objective approach to the listing as a whole: will it be hard to sell in a few years time, what's the quality of craftsmanship, and ...

Have you broken up with your boyfriend/girlfriend? Do you find that that those must have (insert item - Dior shoes, new BMW, Bottega gym bag - you get the point) aren't keeping you warm at night? Or maybe you are simply an animal lover (as most of us are) who has been waiting for the right time t...

I have been dropping hints and teasers about my new listing for about 2 weeks.

This post is dedicated to all the daddy's girls and mama' s boys that are not quite ready to leave the nest even though it's about that time or in some of your cases, long past due. Trust me, I get it. You have become used to the luxuries of gourmet kitchens w/Viking appliances (even though you m...

I have been hearing a lot of buzz about this project for quite some time prior to it's completion. Yesterday was the first opportunity I had to check it out since it's launch about 4 weeks ago and I have to say it is pretty cool. When I look at property, I try to keep a very objective eye althoug...

When I saw that this property was hitting the market this past Tuesday, I was pretty excited. It's rare that you are going to find a done, move in ready 2br/2ba unit in the heart of the best part of West Hollywood for under $600,000, let alone under $500,000. What's the catch I thought? When I pr...
