Southern California’s Rim of the World
In most of Southern California, “Winter” means clear, brisk days, morning fog and snow capped mountains. Visibility, given the right conditions, can be completely “socked in” or crystal clear and breathtaking.

Your Home, Your Abilities
Buying a home is an emotional decision. Real Estate buyers typically “try the house out.” They open closets, cupboards and almost anything else with a handle.

Lakefront Home in Big Bear just closed Escrow for $3,250,000 February 10, 2012
Lakefront Home Closes Escrow for $3,250,000 (533 Cienega, Big Bear Lake, CA 92315) Lakefront sales in Big Bear keep surprising me in the first quarter of 2012 as another home sale flies under the radar……kind of.

Big Bear Lakefront Home Goes Into Escrow: 651 Cove Drive, Big Bear Lake, CA 92315 January 31, 2012
Lakefront Home Goes Into Escrow: 651 Cove Drive, Big Bear Lake, CA 92315 I’m a little surprised this lakefront home took as long as it did to sell. For one, it’s “bank owned” and when buyers hear those two words they automatically think value. And unlike most bank owned properties, this one is clean and updated. […]

Back in 2006, when the market started to turn, this investor bought over $10M worth of property up here. Paid cash for every purchase. It was […]
