Lakers Fans, Sports Fans, a Lesson on Character As most of you all know the fourth game was the elimination game of the Los Angeles Lakers from the Play Offs. A team that has great talent on the court as well as on the bench and in the coaching staff at all levels. So in spite of talent something was amiss. The team not only failed their players but they failed their fans as well. I was driving to a Showing in Los Feliz to show my client a $990,000.00 Bank Foreclosure. The previous owner paid $1.6 million for it in 2005. The home was bought with virtually no money down and now there weren't any appliances and a lot of items such as fixtures were all removed and the remainder was damaged. I stopped to get a cup of coffee and a bagel before the showing and I saw this scene on the corner o...

Should I Stage My Home When I Sell It? I felt compelled to write about Home Staging because of an experience I had over the weekend.  I was out previewing property, and I went to a  home that was having an Open House.  I'll not divulge where the home was - because what I have to say is not very flattering.  I digress. This home I saw was a multi-million dollar house in a very good area of town.  It was newly constructed (in the sense it was built within the last couple years) and had all the bells and whistles as far as design goes today.  Each bedroom was en-suite, the surfaces were all the latest trends... beautiful modern tile in the bathrooms, amazing stone counters in the kitchen, wonderful hardwood floors.  You get the picture. However - something was very disconcerting and I coul...

Ask Judy Oroshnik: A Question About Foreclosures A buyer asks:  My husband and I were wondering if there are perhaps ways to be more aggressive with foreclosures and bank owned properties. I've found a website that lists properties that are in various states of distress, from pre-forelosure to impending auction, etc. Are these sights viable? . Judy says:  There is no one easy answer to your question about distressed properties, etc.  First, as far as properties that have already gone back to the bank (or to an investor) at a trustee sale, those are all listed in the MLS as conventional sales. The pre-foreclosure properties are ones that have received an NOD (notice of default) and are in some state of limbo.  They are all owners who are at least 90 days in arrears--for various reasons. ...

Most people in Los Feliz understand that the real estate business is cyclical, and that buying activity ebbs and flows depending upon the time of year. Historically speaking, the boom time for home sales in the USA has always been springtime. That’s because of the simple reason that in springtime the weather is nicer, which makes it easier and more fun to go house hunting.   Yards look better since flowers are blooming and the grass is green again after dying back during the cold winter months, and the weather is warm enough to facilitate building contractors who are painting and fixing up houses to make them look their very best. Real estate signs start to appear in front yards all over Los Feliz. People who have been waiting for several months for wintertime to pass suddenly get excit...

Mid Century Modern in the Franklin Hills of Los Feliz 3909 Prospect Ave., Los Feliz Another cool new listing has come to market in the Franklin Hills and I don’t expect this one to be around for long. This Los Feliz house is a 1947 post war modern home that is an absolute delight. Stylishly restored and updated for today’s discerning buyer, there are great open spaces with original details like the curved wooden wall planters of the dining area and interior lighting. The house is not a big one, but what it lack in size it makes up for in cool factor. It’s a 2 bedroom house with both bedrooms opening to the outdoors, giving it the feeling of more space than it actually has. The master opens onto its own private patio and there’s a separate yard off the garage as well. French doors from t...

Sometimes it's easy to get lost in your own neighborhood in Los Angeles. The city is huge--so you find your favorite spots and stick to 'em. 10 years ago, Atwater Village was still considered "transitional"--it was edgy but cute, but many still preferred Silverlake and Echo Park. How times have changed! For example, one of my favorite vintage clothing shops, Come 2 Mama, relocated from Sunset Junction to Atwater Village (3015 Glendale Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90039) recently. For years, Terri Mussatti and her fantastic, whimsical shop of custom dyed slips and handpicked vintage lived on Sunset Blvd., but she's found renewed energy and edge in Atwater, and we are so happy for her! Plus, you can still get authentic and delicious Mexican food for under $5. Tacos Villa Corona at 3185 Glendale ...

As I watch the election afterthoughts and commentary, I'm reminded of how many choices buyers and sellers have when it comes to choosing a real estate agent. Like politicians, we are subject to the satisfaction of our constituents, and yet are bound by the duties and responsibilities of our position. I'm reminded that even those people we are most loyal to, those we have worked hardest for, are not necessarily going to use us in the future. We have to continually earn our value, and continually push for "re-election" among those that are most likely to approach each new purchase and sale as if it were the first time. What can we do to continue to earn the vote? 1. Provide information, guidance and advice throughout both the homebuying and sales process, and throughout the ownership proc...

Fabulous Modernist Los Feliz Mid-Century home Tuesday and Thursdays are broker caravan days in Los Feliz and today I saw a fabulous mid century modern north of Los Feliz Blvd. It's not often that I walk into a place and start thinking about what I would have to do with my finances to be able to buy the place myself.  Well, that's what happened with this beauty today.  This modernized mid-century home is located at 2661 Aberdeen Ave in Los Feliz.  Sporting 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, there are 4,500sf of living space to relax in.  It's all on one story and wraps around a very cool pool and outdoor living space. Originally built in 1957, the home has been beautifully renovated by Stephen Moore. There are large bedrooms and a fabulous kitchen. What's not to like? This home is listed by Nourm...
