Matt Sweeney's (mbs2004) Blog

I was sitting an open house last weekend at a property that I had sold a number of units in. With only 4 condos left, the remaining ones (while beautiful) were well north of one million dollars. It really all depends on what stage of life you are in as to what you would want to do if you had a mi...

This is like deja-blog week! All these great units that I loved in 2009 have popped up again, but priced even better than before! I had already written the entire blog post before I realized I had blogged about this same unit in October 2009. Have I really seen every condo on the market that I am...

In real estate, it seems that well priced/done resale condos (and homes for that matter) come in waves. We had hit a dry spell for a while, but this week there was a nice selection of inventory and I wrapped up caravan yesterday excited about all the great property that is now on the market. This...

There are so many stunning homes in The Bird Streets in West Hollywood that I know the majority  of my rich kids would love that I could blog exclusively about this neighborhood all day long and never get tired of it!

Dramatice Expansive View of Unit #1 - Best Value I try to keep an objective eye when I look at property, but I can't help but gush about this specific newdevelopment project that has been on the market for quite some time.

I  am excited to announce another new lease listing at The Rob Clark that I have just put on the market today! For those of you who read my blog regularly, I do a lot of leases in the building. Right now I've been advising my clients to lease vs. sell because of the current buyer's market we are ...

Aside from new construction, there have only been a handful of resale condos as of late that I have really fallen in love with. Most recently, my favorites are the ones that I have either listed or sold. It's not that I am biased, I am just lucky enough to have clients with amazing taste.  V, L, ...

If you have ever been to the Viceroy Hotel in either Santa Monica (the bar has become a bit of a cougar den, which is a gold mine for you rich kids who love mature ladies) or Palm Springs (more of a cou-gay den), than you will  absolutely get my reference when it comes to today's Hot Prop! The Vi...

Suze w/ Girlfriend - Weren't You Dying to See What Her Partner Looks Like? For all the rich kids out there who are avid readers of my blog, you know that I am obsessed with Suze Orman. Maybe it's her highlighted wedge cut, those oh so stylish "jackets" that she wears each week, or maybe it's the...

If you ask any real estate agent, they will tell you that you literally learn something new from every escrow that you close. In this case, I have learned about an amazing little pocket of properties just south of Wilshire and just east of Fairfax. I had driven through the area many times and tho...
