Sorry it has been a while since I blogged. This past month has been really busy. I am working with mostly buyers and they are keeping me busy looking at homes. I put a house in escrow last week in Corona del Mar. With the interest rates this low.....and some great deals out there.....there is quite a bit of activity. You just have to keep your eye on the homes that have been on the market a while.
Anyway, I am going to cover many topics as I did do so much this last month. First of all, I posted a picture of the Fashion Island Christmas Tree. It really is a neat thing to see if you haven't seen it before. In a previous post I explained how they put the tree together.
I also want to bring attention to my new website with my partner...... http://www.covecanyonandcrest.com/ . I took the last part of 3 different areas for the name.....Crystal Cove, Shady Canyon and Pelican Crest. There are more areas in Newport Coast, but we thought this name sounded the best. The website is still under construction. It is at a point that I can talk about it now. The marketing piece that I created looks very similiar to the website. In fact, if you receive the Daily Pilot, we had an ad in there last week with our marketing look. Tonight my website guy should be adding pictures of Shady Canyon.
Previewing new homes as been a little slow lately. I always look for the "wow factor" and I honestly haven't seen much of that lately. The pictures above of the pool is pretty cool. This picture was taken at a home in Newport Ridge. It is hard to tell what the other picture is....it is of a kid's playhouse. I would have loved to have had that growing up. I had a treehouse that my dad made. I can't complain.
I do want to add a blog about Bay Island...off of the peninsula. I did take some pictures a couple of weeks ago. I will try and blog about that in the next couple of days. If you are not familiar with Bay Island, it is small Island that does not allow cars. Imagine carrying your groceries from your parked car on the mainland. I am sure they have little golf carts or something to use to help carry items.
My sister comes in from Palm Beach a week from tomorrow. I am looking forward to having some down time with her. This will be our first Christmas away from our parents. My parents are going to South Bend, Indiana to see my grandma. We are going back in February for my grandma's 100th birthday. We figured one trip to South Bend during this time of year is about all we can handle!
