Real  Real estate in Palos Verdes is doing great in 2007! The market has been very consistent with the 2006 Real estate Market on the Peninsula in 2006.  We are noticing a slight drop in the number of homes being sold in Palos Verdes for 2007.  A slight drop in sales in 2007 but not much.  See for yourself on the chart below.

So somewhere along time ago a rumor was started in a really tough Seller's market that if you deal directly with the selling agent that you will save money. Yes, you may save a part of the real estate agent's commission but you usually spend more money on the sale price of the house. By allowing the listing agent to negotiate the lowest price for your home can and does most of the times cost you more money.  In only one case you may get the property and save a few thousand which is in the old days of short inventory when houses were scarce and if you made an offer through the listing agent some people believed that the listing agent would push it through because he or she would get both commissions. Which may have been true but not always since a real estate agent has to let his Seller'... 07/21/2007

I just wanted to let you know that I have had fantastic results with treatment for my son's ADD at the ADD Treatment Center in Torrance.  No medicine and a great non- invasive treatment.  Neuro feedback is basically the children playing videogames with electrodes tapped to their scalp.  This process gives the chold points for each muscle that he exercises in their brain that needs to be stimulated.  It is a blessing from above. It is a process and you have to be dedicated to 30 mins. 3-4 days a week for 6-9 mos. but how do you put a price tag on your child's self esteem and a chance to change your child's quality of life. I was totally amazed at all the people I knew that have been helped by Doctor Schummer.  He himself was a victim of add and failed 2 grades in school  When he was in c... 07/10/2007

This community runs along the gorgeous California Coastline following Palos Verdes Dr from Hawthorn Blvd south to the city border at San Pedro. Some of Palos Verdes most amazing treasures are located here including The Glass Church, the Portuguese Bend landslide, private neighborhood, and beach club, the new Terenea development, and of course Trump.As a local resident for over three decades I have witnessed many of the changes. Honestly, I can't understand why Marineland coulnd't have succeeded, and wish that our "going green" environment could have helped the biological center and marine preservation efforts continue - Here are some of the curren t listings as of July 5, 2007:http://matrixreports.gsbrmls.net/MatrixReportServer/Output/31984/Customer_Full0251.PDF If you would like more i... 07/05/2007

The glaze line of white as the moon reflects in the night sea is breathtaking and can be more exhilarating that during the daytime.I know a lot about the area and the history here and love talking about it - please feel free to write to me anytime if you are thinking about this area.Here are some of the local listings as of July 5, 2007.http://matrixreports.gsbrmls.net/MatrixReportServer/Output/31984/Customer_Full0172.PDF Please feel free to visit my website anytime and request a personalized real estate search at www.jasonbuck.com Have a great day.  07/05/2007

Or Ocean Trails as I still call it.There are several on the market now starting at $4 Million.  They are on their 3rd listing agent and have recently opened them up for the public to view.  I suggest you make a day out of it and go visit the "model home" they have open.What's good?  The views are spectacular, the kitchens are large and have great appliances, the location.What's not so good?  Half of the home or more is located in the basement without windows.  This means most of the bedrooms and "family" room are in the basement.  In general, Californian's don't do basements..at least not for living space.  In New York where Trump is from, basement space can't even be considered square footage because it isn't considered living space, so I guess he took advantage of that change here.  T... 06/29/2007
