I guess I'm not a "Yes" broker. Yesterday I said "No"to listing a luxury home in the South Bay of Los Angeles.  At least for the time being. Don't get me wrong this luxury listing agent loves to hang our real estate sign on the lawns of Los Angeles luxury homes. As the broker-owner of a boutique real estate company I always strive to be open to new business opportunities, it's just as important to know when and where to establish "no-go" boundaries.  In this case the property's view is a winner, the location is better than good (not quite great), but the prospective seller and I are mega dollars apart on value, and therefore we could not agree upon a list price.  The honest, fair and best for all concerned outcome was for me to walk away without the listing.  There was no way I could co...

The decision to sell your primary residence is a life-changing event, especially if it was your home for several decades.  Not only are there preparations required for the sale, there are also a plethora of self-preparation stages an owner must go through in order to become the seller of a house rather than the owner of a home.Moving through the stages of selling a property can be emotionally and physically taxing.  It is a daunting task to wade through years of accumulated stuff, not to mention the storehouse of memories and decision each item requires.  Do you keep it, donate it, or toss it?  When one evaluates the possessions accumulated over the years we can't help but realign the associated memories in our mind.  This is especially true if the house was your home for many years.The...

Summer paid no attention to the calendar as it is not due until tomorrow, but it blew into the South Bay of Los Angeles packing plenty of heat last week.  Thanks to our coastal marine layer we stayed relatively cool, but by afternoon even the coast had plenty of sunshine.  It's the type of week that makes you grateful for a pool in the backyard.  If there's a sweeping view to enjoy poolside, you can enjoy the Palos Verdes lifestyle at its best.If you're shopping for a Palos Verdes home with a pool and view check out what's currently on the market on the maps below.  Select a few you would like to see and we'll arrange a private showing as well as give your our expert opinion on price, condition and location. Contact Charlemagne Int'l Properties at 310.493.8333 or email us at ToeringandT...

 Even after 23 years in the real estate business in Palos Verdes and the South Bay of Los Angeles I still look forward to the Tuesday tour of new listings. This Spanish style beauty was one of my favorites on this week's tour.  It's a luxury home without the luxury price tag.   With high-quality interior finishes the four bedroom newer construction home has nearly 3300 sq. ft. of living space, pool and view.  It is listed at $1,899,000. For more information on Rancho Palos Verdes homes located in the Palos Verdes Drive East neighborhood contact us at Charlemagne Int'l Properties. - Who should I use to sell my Palos Verdes home? - - Norma310-493-8333                                                                                                       Josh                                 ...

I had to smile when I read a blog post written in February 2007.  My youngest son had recently returned from Iraq after two tours of duty.  He worked as my assistant as he adjusted to civilian life. I changed my work environment to accommodate our change in office space requirements.  Little did I know the real estate market was about to crash and recovery would not occur for several years. As the market declined to depths not seen since the Great Depression, I was resolute in my determination to survive and even thrive.  If my son could survive the challenges of being in a war zone and cope with the after-effects of post traumatic stress, surely I could find the willpower and courage to ride out a faltering real estate market. I'm happy to say not only did we both survive the challenge...
