As most of you know I am a huge fan of positive motivations, hence I love Monday and this platform allows me to post about motivations, not just on Mondays, but any time.How do you handle Criticism and Praise? like John Wooden I take criticism from outsiders with a grain of salt."...You're also going to receive praise on occasions. Some of it will be deserved and some of it will be undeserved. Either way, deserved or undeserved, you're going to love to like it...""...however, your strength as an individual depends on how you respond to both criticism and praise. If you let either one have any special effect on you, it's going to hurt us. Whether it's criticism or praise, deserve or undeserved makes no difference. If we let it affect us, it hurts us".May I ask you to read the above quote...

Have you ever had Pro+mis+Q+ous Red Wine? If you never had this great Red Wine and you like a good Meritage, than this is the wine for you. For those who know me I would not mislead you. This is the best wine I had under $20,$15,$12…..a bottle. Of course you would be shocked to know I only paid $8.99 a bottle. Oh, before I continue let me give you some definitions:  The word Pro+mis+Q+ous according to the Winemaker’s definition is (Referring to many partners) the act of blending multiple, mutually attractive grape varieties in an assortment of unorthodox combinations. Implies woton disregard for convention, may result in intense flavors. Now my definition is not “may” it is intense.   http://www.promisqous.com/  Meritage (pronounced like Heritage not like the French way) many people wil...

There are a lot of anniversaries to celebrate: weddings, relationships, baby’s first steps, divorce settlements, your first BMW, and the list goes on! I wanted to make a special announcement about my greatest love – the one year anniversary of my brokerage, Rich Kids Real Estate. Be prepared, as this is going to be a long entry!!!! I developed the Rich Kids brand under the corporate umbrella of Keller Williams BH in 2009. Having gained quite a bit of name recognition, I became a broker and  turned the brand into an independent brokerage on June 8th, 2011. I could not have asked for a more blessed year in terms of business, opportunities, and just an endless list of amazing personalities who I have met along the way. People often will see the success of my business and ask how it all cam...

This photo is what Van Cleef & Arpels deemed appropriate for their remodel on the corner Rodeo Drvie and Dayton Drive in Beverly Hills.  Unlike Bulgari, Van Cleef Arpels' jewelry is classic in its luxury appeal.  It is an old world French jewelry compnay, founded in 1906 on the venerable Place Vendome in Paris. The brand is known for its signature mystery settings where the prongs are concealed.  Van Cleef & Arpels' customers have included the Duchess of Windsor, Grace Kelly and Elizabeth Taylor. Their remodel facade is subtle and understated like their mystery settings. Last month we wrote a post illustrating how remodeling is creatively camouflaged  in  Beverly Hills.

Let’s see how the Beverly Hills real estate market did in the 1st Quarter of 2012 as compared with the same period in 2011. The numbers are taken from the MLS/CLAW and are deemed reliable but not guaranteed.  Also, they reflect single family home sales only. Number sold:  28, a 20% decrease over the same period last year. Median price:  $4,075,000, a 54.65% increase over the same period last year. There are 100 active listings.  The an average sale of 9.33 homes per month there is an absorption rate of 10.72 months.  This means that it will take 10.72 months to sell the existing inventory.  A balanced market is 6 months of inventory.  Anything above that does not favor sellers. If you look at the absorption rate for homes below $4 Million, then the picture is a little rosier, with 7.62 ...

  I am loving this real estate market right now. The moment has arrived! Record breaking mortgage rates, the highest level of home affordability in years, increased demand, and a decrease of homes on the market- make this one of the best times to buy or sell a home in recent years!   According to Realtor.com the number of homes on the market has fallen 22% in the last month. In addition, asking prices have increased 6.8% as demand from buyers has increased. Inventory of homes on the market is estimated to be at a 6.1 month supply, which is the lowest level since 2006 when the housing market was at its peak. We are all experiencing the shortage of inventory in our market, making it an excellent time to sell your home. Good homes that are priced well are flying off the market to serious, ...

The Realtor's Role: Assume Nothing! Anticipate, Ask, Assess, Analyze, Advise: Brentwood, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, and...Los Angeles at large is known for being very culturally diverse and is now drawing a large number of foreign investors.  In today's global real estate market, when it comes to finding a home or selling a home for a client, we have to be prepared with the right questions, devise a plan to be sure we communicate properly, and go the extra mile to be sure we are up-to-date with new lending policies, foreign affairs and basic cultural practices that could make or break a deal.  I'm not suggesting you run out and buy a CD set to learn how to speak Mandarin, but a basic book in everyday business practices wouldn't hurt. Most importantly, ASSUME NOTHING! I have learned through...

Data provided by MLS/CLAW is deemed reliable but not guaranteed The 4th Quarter of 2008 was the lowest at $2.1 Million with the highest being 3rd Quarter of 2007 at $4.425M.  And, if the 1st Quarter of this year is any indication,  $4.075, Beverly Hills median home prices are still beating the trend.

Happiness comes in a Pink Box!  Recently, Alan May wrote a cutesy putesy blog about the latest craze... a Cupcake ATM in Beverly Hills, CA.  Being the cupcake connoisseur that I am, I had to go there and experience a little divinity for myself.  It was everything I imagined and more! A line of curious cupcake fans  formed outside the Sprinkles Cupcakes store on Santa Monica Blvd. as cupcake connoisseurs waited with baited breath to test out the new cupcake ATM.  I couldn't help but video my experience (as promised... Alan... now if I could only get it downloaded from my phone!) so you could get a first-hand glimpse of the pink cupcake ATM.  The dark chocolate cupcakes were definitely my favorite, but I also bought a strawberry cupcake for my grand-daughter, a pumpkin cupcake for my son-...

Home purchases in the U.S. climbed in February to the highest level in almost two years, another sign of stabilization in the real-estate market. Combined sales of new and previously owned properties rose to 4.93 million at an annual rate, the strongest since May 2010, from 4.89 million in January, according to the median forecasts in a Bloomberg News survey. Home construction also improved as warmer weather bolstered prospects for the industry. That’s right people! Spring has sprung and the housing market is starting to feel the affects.The improvement in the labor market has contributed to the recent housing gains. Payrolls rose in February, capping the best six-month increase since 2006.  A measure of housing affordability a month earlier climbed to 206.1, according to the National A...

The adoption of increasingly advanced mobile devices has inherently changed consumer and business expectations of communication and access to information. Because of technology built into mobile devices that collects data about user behavior — data not available through traditional desktop forms of computing — the expectation of what an application can offer is also evolving and becoming more sophisticated. As behavioral input affects application development and, in turn, user expectation, the consumer and business market will continue to migrate to and ultimately depend on mobile computing, currently a technological genesis of possibilities.

Certainly, if a homeowner chooses to do nothing, foreclosure is imminent – it’s just a matter of time.  However, it is recommended by many that a homeowner should try to avoid foreclosure if another alternative is available. Why? Because experts agree that foreclosure has the greatest and most negative impact on your credit and junior lien-holders may still have recourse even after the home is foreclosed.
