There are a lot of things going on in the world and in our lives as well. I had to share my thoughts with you tonight. I have three Escrows, that I am trying to keep together and as you know there are challenges to deal with and at the same time trying to list new properties and market twelve other listings can be challenging at times. Then to boot, there are many distractions going on in the US as well as in the world. Just to name a few, an Ex President who is fighting a lot of legal issues. This made me think, how insignificant my issues are compared to his.As, I read the headlines about potential Nuclear Wars, thanks to things going on in Ukraine & Russia as well as in the Middle East as in Israel and Iran.Putting all this in perspective, made me think that I do not really have any ...

Since I first started blogging in 2008, people have asked me over the years "how are you so successful with blogging?"   The answer is not all that simple, so allow me to explain a few things I've learned over the years that I find to be helpful.First and foremost, what do you define as being “a successful blogger”? Is it the number of views? Is it the number of interactions? Perhaps it is the number of new friends or additional income your blogging has generated? As I've frequently said over the years, the friendships and relationships I have developed on Active Rain and some other platforms where I push my blog posts out has been an unexpected and perhaps the most meaningful success of blogging for me personally. As far as interaction, I do communicate back and forth with a great many...

Houses for Sale in Beverly Hills CA | Biggest Obstacles of First-time Home BuyersHouses for Sale in Beverly Hills CA  - Buying your first home can be a daunting experience. From finding the right property to obtaining financing, there’s a lot to consider. It’s important to be aware of the biggest obstacles first-time home buyers face and how to overcome them. Down Payment ChallengesOne of the biggest challenges for many first-time home buyers is saving up enough money for a down payment.

To qualify, borrowers must show proof of reliable deposits over that time period and demonstrate the ability to make timely payments on the loan itself.Bank statement loans typically require higher credit scores than other t...

Observations by a Beverly Hills Realtor Endre Barath, Jr. Over the 4 months or so, I have been inundated with emails and texts inviting me to attend various seminars about the shifting Real Estate Market and how to find buyers and sellers. Then there are experts wanting 15 minutes of my time to give me the answers to be successful in today's market.  With catchy titles like ``how to win business in a downturn”, and  “we have helped agents get three to five extra deals” these seminars or chats would only cost me (quite) a few hundred (or thousand) dollars to learn the magic solution.  If I were to take advantage of these “solutions & opportunities” there are two things I would achieve.  First off, a chunk of the income that I have generated so far in 2022 and what I'm expecting for the l...

My favorite restaurant in Beverly Hills, CA is Crustacean Beverly Hills. Crustacean Beverly Hills serves Asian fusion cuisine and is located at 468 N Bedford Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. Known for being a place where you can often find celebrities, celebrities such as Magic Johnson were known to dine there once a week.Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, the restaurant underwent a major eight-month renovation and was temporarily closed. The aquarium built into the walkway was the feature that most impressed me before it was redesigned. As you walked in, you were on clear glass and could see fish and other aquatic species beneath you. Now there's a lot to like after the $10 million renovation.When it comes to the menu, I recommend the garlic noodles as one of your sides and the crab that come...

Selling a home in today’s market certainly has its challenges, not only in the Greater Los Angeles area, but everywhere. Let’s add seasonal factors depending on where you are selling your home.  It’s worth mentioning the holidays, having children and/or pets to what I call the ‘extras’ for planning on selling a home.  The key factor is proper preparation. (I haven’t even brought any current political concerns into the picture.)If you live in LA and are considering selling but waiting, a date to keep in mind is April 1st 2023 when Measure ULA, as passed by voters this past November, will take effect.  Measure ULA means that properties that sell above $5 million will be taxed an additional 4% after April 1st, 2023. Properties that sell over $10 million will be taxed 5.5%; this is in addit...

Speechless Sunday: Guess who is coming to dinner...  Diane insisted on us leaving the house. There was a play that she wanted to see. One of her coworkers was in it.... Well reluctantly I agreed. No, it was not Spencer Tracy & Sidney Potier, but it was incredibly powerful, and I laughed and cried at the same time. Great acting great performance.Not having seen the movie in decades it all bought back wonderful memories and a better perspective of the movie. How appropriate in today's times. I also miss Sidney Potier's kind and laid-back personality. I still see him patiently waiting for his car in front of Spago the Restaurant... oh about 15 years ago:)  Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, focused and goal-orien...

Thank You Veterans! I am grateful for your service!Tomorrow is Veterans Day! Chances are you know a veteran. It might be a friend, a family member or even yourself.There are some people who sadly confuse Veterans Day with Memorial Day. November 11th is Thanking Veterans for their service in defending this great nation, those who are still alive.Just as there are some people who are confused, and wonder is it Veterans Day or Veteran’s Day. It is Veterans Day since it covers all Veterans from all Branches of the Military not just one Veteran.Many people are not sure what to do or say to a Veteran on Veterans Day or any day.As far as I am concerned, the answer is very simple as to what to say and how to greet a Veteran on Veterans Day, how about saying:“…I am grateful each and every day fo...
