Shady Canyon Tour Broker Preview
















Sorry I am a day late on this. Yesterday I was at Broker Preview at Shady Canyon. Broker Preview is when the agent holds the house open so brokers can go in an view the home.....since most of us work on the weekends....it is difficult to view homes unless they are on preview. Anyway, there were 8 homes open. It was another hot day......95 degrees. If I would have seen a water sprinkler.....I think I would have run through it. Anyway, if you are a follower of this blog, you know I am always looking for the WOW factor. Homes in Shady Canyon range from $2.8 to $18.9 mil. I didn't see much of the WOW factor until I reached the last two homes on the list. There were some pretty awesome homes.....but my favorite were the last two.....one on Canyon Creek and the other one was on Echo Glen. The fireplaces in the Canyon Creek home were really neat. I think the highlight of the tour for me was at Echo Glen.....remember....it was hot....and felt like Palm Springs on a really hot day.........was the swim up bar in the swimming pool. Back in my 20's I would go to Cancun, Mexico for spring vacations. Generally where ever you stayed there was a swim up bar. To see that at a house was pretty cool. I really wanted to be sitting in the pool drinking a margarita. There was one house that my partner and I viewed that was not on the tour. It is a house on Cactus, built by a friend of mine, Rob Glass. This house is $8.695 mil. It has to be one of the most amazing homes I have ever been in. I would describe it as artwork. Every room had such unique detail that you would never find in any other house. My partner and I were blown away by this house. I am posting a couple of pictures.......if you want more.....I will send them to you. There are so many details in this house that you couldn't possibly see them all in one viewing. Absolutely amazing......it has more than the WOW factor. Ok, I can't take much more work tonight. I will post todays activities tomorrow. I can only post 5 pictures per post. I did see an amazing house in Crystal Cove today that I will talk about tomorrow.
