Pasadena, Altadena and San Gabriel Mountain foothill Homebuyers may have trouble getting their loans due to the Station Fire in the Angeles Forest  The station fire is about 50% contained as of today. The fire has destroyed nearly 155,000 acres, including 76 homes, 2 commercial structures and 86 out buildings. The station fire ranks at the largest ever in Los Angeles Count y and full containment is not expected until Sept 15.  Here's a photo of the smoke that I snapped while shopping in Pasadena If you are in escrow to purchase property in Altadena, Glendale, Pasadena, La Crescenta, La Canada or surrounding neighborhoods, please make sure you contact your insurance carrier to confirm that they are currently providing coverage.  One of my clients is in escrow on an Altadena duplex (she u...

Los Angeles is on fire!  No, not all of the Los Angeles but from the amount of soot and smoke in the air is certainly feels that way.  I am particularly affected by the quickly spreading Station Fire that started just north of La Canada on Angelus Crest Highway. 3:30 pm Wed., Aug 26. I can see the flames in the foothills from my Pasadena backyard and this morning the smoke was so thick I could barely make out the shape of the hills themselves.  On August 28, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger proclaimed a state of emergency in Los Angeles County, and firefighters continued to battle this out-of-control brush fire which has already burned 42,500 acres as I write this post. Local firefighters don't expect to have the fire contained until September 8. More than 1000 people have been evacuated from...

So here I am, searching active listings in City Of Altadena and WOW.  Do you remember years back when you could not find a home to sell your clients? Or, a new listing comes up on the market and there are 20 buyers and agents outside the house during caravan?

FYI, what are the prices out there... 14 homes are under $400,000 16 homes are over one million 3 homes are over two million New listings to check out: 3033 Glen Ave. 3 bed, 2 bath $379,900 1892 E.

A few weeks ago we staged this lovely Altadena Spanish Revival home. Altadena is an unincorporated city located in Los Angeles County. The home had been on the market for more than 2 months with no offers before staging. I'm happy to report that this Altadena home is now in escrow less that 3 weeks after staging (there was an earlier offer that fell out), with multiple offers! As you can see, the home had some furniture in it before it was staged. The owner had attempted to stage it themselves with whatever furniture they had on hand. While it was a good effort, the furniture they used and the way it was placed did not help sell the concept this was a home, not just a house. Proper furniture and accessories, along with proper placement made this Altadena Los Angeles home feel warm and w...

Add one Los Angeles home stager plus a fantastic 1928 Altadena Spanish Colonial Revival in (with an entry courtyard), the homeowners furniture, plus a few rented pieces of furniture, a Persian rug and some staging accessories et voila! An interesting note about this lovely cottage: It was built and designed by Anna P Latham, one of the first women to be licensed as a building contractor in California. In 1928!                                 Here are some before and after pictures after staging. We brought in a new sofa, chair, rug, some artwork and accessories. We moved the existing furniture around to use it to best advantage. This was an inexpensive yet effective staging.            Kitchen before staging             Kitchen after staging         Living Room before staging           ...
