Having been a Realtor for over twenty-four plus years, I have learned early in my Real Estate career, that the most important challenge any Realtor faces is ‘Time Management and Proper Prioritization of their Tasks’. This business can be chaotic, especially if one does not know how to master the priorities of the business in an efficient manner. Keeping it in mind, this is a universal and a common thread of the real estate profession. It does not matter if you are a Beverly Hills Realtor or a Los Angeles Realtor the principles remain the same. As, Winston Churchill once said “…you create your own universe as you go along…”  I find that, this is such a spot-on observation and so true in Real Estate. I am a firm believer, that you need determination, as well as you must have the proper me... 10/22/2017

If it looks too easy think again: going back and correcting mistakes in blog posts written nine years ago is not as easy as it looks. It takes time and effort!Just as a background when I joined Active Rain, I had no idea what I was doing. I could compare how I learned to blog to the way most people have learned how to swim 50+ years ago, i.e.:   using the old sink or swim method.The non-swimmers were thrown into the fast-moving river and their teachers hoped that they learned to swim and not drown. Lucky for me I did learn how to swim that way and I am still here to write about it.At the same time when I joined Active Rain in 2008 it was a very similar experience. Here I am 2421 one blog posts under my belt, I managed to learn how to write. Well let me qualify it and just say, better th... 03/12/2017

This post was inspired by a call I received from one of my friends, she said did you see the news Marina Del Rey Condominium market has been tanking from a price perspective.

The Marina Del Rey Condominium Market Report November 2016Most people have been reading various and conflicting headlines how the Real Estate Market is. I was looking for information how the Marina Del Rey Condominium market has fared. As you can see nothing to be ashamed of. As you can see in the past three years the Median Price Per Square Foot has increased at a moderate rate.  The active inventor is very much on track to what the 2014 numbers were like a bit under but overal very simmilar. Keeping in mind 2014 was a very active year. That is when the Marina Del Rey Real Estate activity cought fire and we just had a tough time believe that it could last. As you can see despite the increase of the price per square foot. The Average Days on market compared to November 2014 is half. Rea... 12/18/2016

The Marina Del Rey, CA Condominium Market  Report for September is published...Buyers and Realtor watch the listing inventory closely, primarily because that will determine what type of purchase strategy has to be used.  As you can see compared to the previous year there is an increase in the inventory, needless to say compared to two years previously the inventory is still tighter.Equally important indicator is the median Sales Price. That will determine how the market is doing year over year: As you can see the Median Sales Price has increased by 18% since 2014, that is a huge increase when you are looking that is the Median Sales Price.  As you can see that the Days on Market is very much in line. In 2014 there was more inventory and in 2015 there was less hence the Median Days on Ma... 10/15/2016

There they go again: Zillow with another doom and gloom observation…. the end is near….To paraphrase then Governor Ronald Reagan’s comment to President Jimmy Carter in the 1980 presidential debates…. There They Go Again with another doom and gloom observation.In case you missed it, Zillow determined and announced, based on a combination of Hocus Pocus and data from the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration’s data and Climate Change information that Marina Del Rey, CA is not a good long term investment, because by 2100 AD parts of Marina Del Rey, CA or most of it will be under water.Now keep in mind this information is touted by the company that has admitted by their own words that Zestimates are just estimates and may vary widely from the actual value of a home. In February of 2... 08/14/2016

Tight Inventory has been the plague of the greater Los Angeles Real Estate market for the past few years. In addition to tight inventory is also the high entry price point. The threshold to enter the Los Angeles Real Estate Market.Needless to say you have heard me complain about it via my comments or my blog posts. The second challenge has been the entry price point to purchase a home. This is actually just as difficult of an obstacle to overcome.Many buyers are left behind and have hard choices to make. If they can not afford to buy a multi million dollar Single Family Residence in the specif area they want to live.They only have two choices, one is to RENT the other is to buy a CONDOMINIUM. So with that said let's look at these numbers.If you are considering buying a Condominium in Pa... 07/31/2016

The Marina Del Rey, CA Condominium listings remain very tight from an inventory perspective. Look at the three year comparison and you can see why buyers and their agents are complaining about the need for more inventory: Needless to say with the lack of inventory not surprisingly the Pending Sales are down as well. Surprisingly not as much as I would have anticipated.  I am sure as you saw the above two statistics you can guess what this has done to the Days on Market Statistics. Amazing a property that is listed is virtually Pending in days.... If you are considering buying or selling a home, a luxury home, luxury investment real estate, luxury vacation homes, or luxury beach properties in Southern California, Los Angeles, Century City, Westwood, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Marina ... 05/29/2016

There are legitimate reasons I have been complaining about the lack of inventory. As you can see what little inventory there is on the market virtually is sold within a few days.

The Marina Del Rey Condominium Market for February 2016 has been very interesting and I have been meaning to share with you. Keep in mind these numbers include the ultra luxury penthouses as well as the townhomes that are a couple miles from the beech. You have heard me and everyone else grousing about the lack of inventory well just look at the three year comparison and it is very telling. I recall not that many years ago we used to have an average of 200 plus units for sale.Now if you look at the New Listings that came on the Market it will be part of the above statistics but is gives you a better understanding.  Clearly shows that the trend is not improving as we speak. Let's keep in mind we are about to enter the Spring Market which is generally more robust with activity than the Wi... 03/13/2016

Marina Del Rey, CA "The La Villa Marina Complex".  It has been years since I highlighted this quiet undervalued pocket of Marina Del Rey, CA. The year was 2012, most people preferred living by the beach in those days and this area was considered too far. Keeping in mind it is less than a mile from the beach. Things change, desirability increased as the prices have increased being next to or on  the beach.I always loved and still love this pocket of Marina Del Rey, because it has a resort style living. There are many other complexes in this hidden community of Townhomes. Funny part is three years later is is considered  being in the heart of Marina Del Rey,CA.Ever since, the industrial part of Marina Del Rey, CA has been converted to Condominiums and Lofts of lesser size and virtually no... 02/25/2016

SALT the Restaurant in Marina Del Rey, CA 90292We decided to meet our friends from Boston at SALT, that is the Restaurant in the Marina Del Rey Hotel which is now part of the Pacifica Hotel chain, in Marina del Rey, CA, 90292. It has been years since I stepped on the ground, many years ago we used to have my parents stay in the Hotel. It was very convenient, we lived less than a mile from there so I could pick them up in the morning and drop them off in the evening…. Since the last time my father was visiting it was very hard for me to bring friends there…. Mercifully they did a huge update and it was closed for a few years.Needless to say after a $25 million dollar make over they reopened. I have been following the Restaurant and the reviews for some time. The Executive Chef is Mark Go... 02/07/2016
