If your household is anything like ours, your family has just experienced a disorienting week Last month, the word coronavirus wasn’t even in our glossary. Today, through non-stop media coverage, most of us have become self-professed experts on pandemics, the spiky virus and the escalating toll that it’s taking on the world. We’ve also added a new term to our vocabulary that’s currently defining everyday life, social distancing. Even though we are apart, we are in this to...gether. The health and safety of our clients, friends and loved ones is my primary concern. In times like this home has never felt more important. Most of us fear uncertainty, because we don't know what will happen. And that’s scary for a lot of us. Being afraid heightens our anxiety; confusion compounds it. So how can we best manage our fear and anxiety during troubled times? First, take heart knowing that we are all in this together. Being kind to ourselves and one another is essential to our well being. And we will find peace. This is Monday motivation we can do anything! Monday motivation tips to manage fear and anxiety during troubled times: 1. Go Outside - Get some fresh air by going on a walk. 2. Take a water bottle with you wherever you go -dehydration makes you more susceptible to viral infections. 3. Get Creative - Do a craft with your kids. Get an adult coloring book. Re-arrange your home space for a creative nook. 4. Eat well, particularly whole foods, avoiding sugar and fast food. 5. Be intentional in getting enough sleep each nightit really is NOT a waste of time! 6. Be Kind - We should understand that tensions will continue to rise with all of us needing to confine to our homes. Have empathy for others, we don't know what our neighbors could be facing. Lastly, stay home! We got this!! #realtor #community #covid19 #stayhome #orangecounty #mompreneur #realestate #evrealestate #dvrealestate #engelvölkers

I are committed to Fair Housing #because I am a REALTOR 50 years in and the Fair Housing Act is as top of mind as ever. Fighting for a diverse, equal, and unified community; the Act embodies the ideals of which our country stands for. And it is our duty as REALTORS to maintain equal opportunity in the housing market. In the fight for fair housing for all, REALTORS leave discrimination at the door. 2018 is the 50th Anniversary of the Fair Housing Act. Throughout the year, C....A.R. and NAR will be commemorating this anniversary by reaffirming our commitment to fair housing. . . . #fairhousingact #bhhs #realestate #realtor #nar #car #cvar #legislativeadvocacy #inlandempire #orangecounty #losangeles #education #homebuyers #buy #sell #invest See more

Now Open :) The NoMad Hotel, Los Angeles La Dolce Vita meets So-Cal cool at NoMad Los Angeles, the dashing new boutique hotel which resides at downtown’s Giannini Place, built in 1923 to house the Bank of Italy. The building’s Neoclassical façade has been preserved, but its interiors given a thorough refit courtesy of French designer Jacques Garcia, who took inspiration from the colours of the ornate ceiling in the lobby. I love the shades of gold, white and blue that echo in... art deco light fittings, Terrazzo floors and patterned upholstery in a handshake between design old and new. Drinking and dining are set to be an equally sumptuous affair, coming under the direction of powerhouse dining duo Daniel Humm and Will Guidara (these guys have are responsible for some of the world best restaurants), the men behind NoMad New York and Eleven Madison Park. I already have the maître d’ on speed dial in the hope of snagging a table on the hotel’s opening night, set for 21 January 2018. Currently a 3 month wait list....... . . . #dtla #nomadlosangeles #boutiquehotel #frenchdecor #hostoric #downtownrealestate #restaurant #newspot #madisonpark #downtownaffairs #businessmeetings #mrandmrssmith

You can’t buy happiness..... But you can buy real estate, and that’s kind of the same thing.

Interesting article from Los Angeles Times after a long decade of trying to stabilize the real estate market after the bubble in the mid 200s, we've finally surpassed a new median home priced than that of a decade ago, per CoreLogic The median price for a home in sunny Southern California comes with a price $507,500 to live in Los Angeles County. That's half a million dollars$$$ This has prompted some people to pack up and leave coastal areas to move inland such as Riverside... County where the median was $365,000, more affordable housing. I grew up in the inlands of So Cal and can be a great resource or anyone on the market to buy and or sale. Contact me today!
