Hello,
I am going to make this short tonight. I have a fairly bad headache....too much going on. Knowing myself....it will end up being long. I am working on a new website for my new partner and me and I am also working on his website.....along with our new marketing piece.....it is a lot of work! I also wanted to add the funny picture of my dog Sam. This is from last year at the pumpkin patch.
I was showing homes this weekend to a new client from the East Coast. He is looking for a neighborhood that is kid friendly.....one that you would see children playing, etc. I don't have children, but have a good idea of where the child friendly neighborhoods are.....and I live in one. The children on my street are always playing on the sidewalks.....coming up to my house to say hi......doing kid things. As we started to look I thought of a quick way to figure out where the kid friendly neighborhoods are........where the Halloween decorations are! My partner and I were in Shady Canyon last week and he noticed the lack of decorations in some areas so he wondered if any kids lived there. It must have been the street as we found many homes decorated after he had made the comment. As I was showing homes to my new client.....it was true.....the kid friendly streets had plenty of Halloween decorations.
Yesterday I went on broker preview to a home in Shady Canyon. This home is on Goldfinch. It was a very interesting home as it had an inside courtyard that opened up to just about each room in the home. It also sits just above the putting green. See pictures above. Well priced at $3.199. Also yesterday I was in search for the perfect back house in Corona del Mar. I have two buyers that are looking....and we have looked at close to over 70 homes for each client. I viewed new construction on 2521 1rst Avenue. See picture above. The back house is very nice. It has an ocean and park view. Notice on the picture the front house and the back house look like 2 different homes. The builder said the city requested that the two homes....really one big attached home....have different exterior textures. I thought this was very interesting. You really have to look at the home to see they are not attached.....very cool. I almost forgot to add this in.......if you read my blog....you know I look for the "WOW" factor in homes. I went on preview today and did see one house with the "WOW" factor. I saw a home today that had carpet in the kitchen! I have never scene this before......in a multi-million dollar home. I am not trying to be negative.....but I certainly was thinking WOW when I saw the carpet in the kitchen. I don't like carpet in bathrooms.....probably because I have so much hair to pick up after.....but I can't imagine carpet in a kitchen......unbelievable. They must never cook there. :)
I can't take it any longer. The aspirin is starting to kick in so I don't feel as bad....but I am really tired. I need to get to bed so I can get up early and go to the gym. Tomorrow is a big day. I am dressing up for Halloween for the first time since.....I think I was 22! That is a long time ago! I won't give my age away....but it was way over 10 years ago. A friend of mine invited me to a private party on the Balboa Peninsula. It is a $15 million house.....so of course I can't wait to see the inside of the home. I am not one for dressing up or going to parties where I think there will be a lot of skimpy dressed young 20 somethings.....but, what the heck. If I can bring a camera......I will post pictures this weekend. I was worried about what I was going to wear......actually, very stressed about it. My hairdresser said she went to Condom Revolution.....over by Triangle Square. I have never been in that shop. I tried your traditional Halloween shop and quickly left. The hard core metal music was disturbing. I gave in and went to Condom Revolution. They actually had some cute costumes. I was told to go upstairs to the Wicked Chamber. I was really nervous about going in there.....partly because of the name. I sucked it up.....went up there and was pleasantly surprised at all the cute costumes. They didn't have the trashy costumes I was expecting to see. As I am trying to keep my cover I hear a lady call out my name. I was a little nervous to see who it was. It was one of my realtor buddies from Surterre. We actually work on American Cancer Society fundraisers together. I felt better knowing she was in there for the same reason I was. We laughed and quickly bought what we needed and headed out. Anyway, have a great Halloween and I will catch up with you this weekend.
