Our Goal at Sameday203kla.com is to encourage you to prepare for a major disaster and to maintain that readiness. Part of becoming ready is having the necessary supplies. Earthquakes and major disasters, in our area, can happen at any time. They are not totally predictable. There may be long periods between disasters. This is why it is important to maintain fresh emergency supplies through rotation of older stock into daily use. The quality of life and the potential for survival are greatly increased by being prepared. Conduct practice drills. Physically place yourself and your children in the safe locations in the home. Learn first aid and CPR through your local Red Cross or other community organization. Decide where and when the family will reunite, if separated. Keep a list of emerge... 03/30/2014

I                    I don't let go any short sale opportunity! I have had some declined ones, rejected, note or seller contributions required (none of those terms are good for the transaction) but I keep trying and negotiating... Many times the negotiator asks for certain un-saleable sales price, note or contribution, but after negotiating we may end up working things out fine. When it is really unacceptable for my seller, buyer or me as agent, I close the file and restart it, frequently the second or third time I try, I get a more flexible negotiator and I get it done. Keep trying, you never know! Often I have felt that it is a dead deal, but eventually I close it. Don't quit! Keep trying until the very end.. (Trustee sale) I would advise to be respectful to the negotiators, opening m... 06/07/2011

Photograph taken by Robert Swetz 2011 Last Sunday Vegas Bob and family where celebrating Burmese “Water Festival” New Years in Los Angeles California. The following day VB and family strolled over to a HUGE playground for children and adults that either want to be a kid for the day or just don’t want to grow up. Vegas Bob grew up real fast when he was younger and missed several years when he was real young and then again when he was a teenager. So now that VB has been an adult for quite some time, he just wants to bust loose, be silly and NOT act his age. When Sherry first came to live with us in America back in June of 2010 has really brought back some memories of being a kid. I spend so much time with Sherry that I go to fun places like the one in the photo above, watch cartoons and ... 04/23/2011

Many of my fence sitting clients are now starting to call me because they are seeing the market go up and want to get in before it's too late.  These are the folks who were looking a year ago and just couldn't make up their mind.  They wanted to buy at the bottom.  I don't understand that because it would have been maybe a $5/month difference on their payment if they bought back then vs. waiting a couple months for the market to go lower. So, have we hit the bottom?  Have we started to go back up?  I think it's a false reading because the seller's market here in Northwest Orange County, Lakewood, Cerritos, and Long Beach areas are fooling us.  It only seems like a seller's market because the bottom fishing properties are gone or if they appear, they are snatched up in a second by a cash... 03/10/2010
