Wordless Wednesdays: a great gift but what a disappointment... we often give gifts with good intentions, but there are times when the results are disappointing.I tried to re order some pretzels for Diane, but they were out of stock.... so with that said I moved on where everyone does Searched on the Internet and found another pretzel delivery service.The delivery was via Fed/ Ex and the package was covered with a couple of small ice packets... very tiny if you asked me. When I took it they were actually warm.... gratefully Diane did not open it up until a few days later.Now when she did open it up, her disappointment was huge the chocolate covered pretzels looked tired.... then there was one row, well see for yourself totally crumbled up.So glad I did not send this to a client.

Randy's Donuts in Inglewood CA Los Angeles has lots of iconic landmarks, and Randy's Donuts in Inglewood is certainly one of them. This is the original store, established in 1952, at 805 West Manchester Boulevard at La Cienaga. This popular donut shop (one of 34 now, including several in the LA area, San Diego, Las Vegas, South Korea, the Philippines and Saudi Arabia) has supposedly appeared in a number of movies and on TV. And no doubt it's been photographed by many tourists and residents. I had heard about the place but just happened to be in the area at the right time earlier this year...and at a red light so I could snap a photo. I suppose next time I have to do the drive-through and order what is supposedly their most popular brand of donut - the Buttercrumb Raised. And there are d...

Reasons to Love Living in Carlsbad CA~ Beaches ~ There are plenty of reasons to love living in, or visiting, Carlsbad CA. That includes our beaches, the arts, dining, shopping, recreational opportunities, tourist stuff, housing, sports and our weather.  In this article the focus is on the Carlsbad beaches. Carlsbad has about 7 miles of beach, from the Oceanside border at Point Malo and the mouth of the Buena Vista Lagoon to the north, and south along the Coast Road/Historic Route 101 to the Leucadia area of Encinitas.  There are lots of different beaches by name (e.g., Terramar, Warm Waters, Hole in the Fence, South Ponto, Frazee, Tamarack, Jetties, Carlsbad State Beach). However, it’s hard to tell where each one starts and ends, and perhaps it really doesn’t matter. It's one uninterrup...

Time Flies!  It is hard for me to imagine that Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices ("BHHS" f/k/a Prudential) is 10 years old! But indeed, it is! The Brokerages' first office was the Beverly Hills Office. I clearly remember the issues with the Prudential Licensing Name and the BHHS powers to be decided why bother negotiating with what could turn out to be a costly endeavor just to keep the Prudential name? Why not switch to a better, more widely recognized name since Home Services of America is a Berkshire Hathaway Company. At the time, leadership made the decision to assume all costs involved with switching the name on letterhead, business cards, signage, you name it. The magic transition date was September, 23, 2013. Certainly not an easy task, but the support was truly amazing.  The rest ...

Ain't Nobody (Doing a Cash-Out Refi Right Now)   If you believe the statistics, 90% of homeowners with a mortgage will have a home loan rate somewhere under 5% these days.  And it's a safe bet to assume that a high percentage of those may be under 4% or even 3%.  If you're one of these fortunate borrowers, the thought of refinancing your historically-priced mortgage to get cash out --- a.k.a., a "cash out refinance" --- is a non-starter.  To quote Chaka Khan, "ain't nobody" is doing a cash-out refi unless they ain't got no better option. But often there can be a better option.  The most common one is a home equity line of credit, or HELOC.  But these loan types are adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) that track Prime Rate, which, here in the fall of 2023, is currently at 8.5%.  However, th...

Good Day to You!  Thank You for joining me for Part Two of this three part series!  This series was inspired by my quote of the week below....and then we will move right into how to avoid superstition and misinterpretation.QUOTE OF THE WEEKHOW TO AVOID SUPERSTITION AND MISINTERPRETATIONMoving through this Epictetus quote, "Avoid superstitiously investing events with power or meanings they don't have," advises us to be careful interpreting events. We, as human beings, have a natural tendency to attach significance and constructed meaning to events in our lives.  Sometimes the meaning of events can be attributed in our heads to external forces or superstitions.  Perhaps, you experience a series of displeasing or unfortunate events, you may think that it's a case of bad luck or believe tha...

Hello and Thank You for joining me today! I'm Todd Picconi, Broker/Owner/Realtor at Todd Picconi Real Estate....and want to share some secrets to overcoming obstacles in our every day lives!  I've gratefully been closing real estate transactions for over thirty years, and come across a multitude of life situations.  Some of the best ways to handle certain situations is through the study of Stoicism.
