As most of you, Tuesday is Broker's Open. It's the glorious day when we get to see what new properties have hit the market, how the prices are trending, and where the exceptional deals are! Caravan (the official name for Broker's Open) is also a nice opportunity to catch up with agents and to fin...

Any of my friends can tell you that I am totally into themes and theme parties for that matter. My love of themes has now incorporated itself into my business. Instead of hosting your run of the mill open house, I try to make it an event. Whether it be a holistic approach with a Vinyassa flow goi...

Today was supposed to be the second part of my "to be continued" special on properties that would make interesting investments. The bad news is that the property I wanted to feature just went into escrow after being on the market for only 10 days. The good news  for buyers is that it is becoming ...

The good news for sellers and buyers alike is that there is some well priced inventory out there that is actually moving under thirty days or less. As usual, all the main components need to be in tact for a quick sale to occur: price, location, and the perceived value of the property itself. Over...

I am pleased to announce Rich Kids newest listing, Villa Paradiso on Laurel Canyon. As I have often written, I am a huge fan of Spanish style architecture.

Nichols Canyon is an area that I consider to be somewhat of a hidden gem as compared to other neighborhoods in the Hollywood Hills. Located off of Hollywood Blvd between Laurel Canyon (the turn off is right where Crescent Heights turns into Laurel) and La Brea, Nichols  has a very woodsy, natural...

As with a lot of condos that I have been blogging about lately, Hancock Lofts was a former Hot Prop that I reviewed almost a year ago.  The lofts are a new construction project in the heart of the Boy's Town section of West Hollywood, on the corner of Hancock and Santa Monica Blvd. Unfortunately ...

Having had a sister who passed away when I was very young, I have a special place in my heart for organizations that work with sick children to help them live as normal a life as possible. Of those organizations, Locks of Love (www.locksoflove.org) is one of my all time favorites. Locks of Love's...

I apologize for the shortage of posts over the last ten days. In the hopes of being able to better serve my rich kids who are bi coastal, I thought it important to learn a little about how real estate in Manhattan works. The goal is to find an amazing agent in the city who will be able to provide...

As the title says, today's Hot Prop went into escrow literally within the last 3 days with multiple back up offers. This is proof positive that when you price a well done property correctly, it will fly! The same scenario happened with another property I posted about a couple of weeks ago, 880 Hi...
