The Art of Houses

2020 is the year that home became our whole world. And the year that I was able to help 36 of you find your place in this brave new world. Including out of town friends that I was able to help via my trusted network. Each one of you mean so much to me and my family. Thank you so much for putting trust in me to safely help you move out of or into your new home. I think we will be forever bonded by the intensity of this experience during this crazy year! ... Buyers: It was a tough year for you, but y’all trusted me to get creative. And it worked! Sorry about all those PEAD forms. Sellers : I know you may have first thought I was a mad scientist with my strategy , but y’all came around to see the magic that happens when it all comes together! Thank you for trusting me with your family’s greatest asset. I’m honored to have helped you catapult your dreams to the future, and most of the time - it was a little further than you imagined! On a personal level, we survived a tiny house full of 3 giant huskies (down to 2 after we found @luna_siberian_rescue foster Cielo’s perfect family) and a kindergartener with a full zoom schedule. We very much understand my clients’ need for more! space! I feel incredibly grateful to be able to work with such amazing people and see such beautiful homes. And those always go together - because a home means nothing without people inside of it. Thank you to everyone who’s been there for me and those who help me do the hard work. Here’s to a (hopefully) less intense 2021 - here’s a brighter, healthier, happier new year for all of us!

It’s fall y’all! And we happened to catch some of the few leaves turning color, thanks to the magnificent @julieshufordphotography : it’s still super strong. We are mainly seeing a seller’s market and multiple offers for well prepared, well priced homes under $2.5 million. Low interest rates and the need for additional indoor and outdoor space are driving buyers into the market, in droves! On the other hand, we’v...e been able to get buyers into great homes at reasonable prices with some creativity and a little trust on our buyers’ sides! (: ) : bad photos thumbs in photos closed curtains showing a dark interior oversized furniture crammed into crowded rooms messy and uninspired outdoor areas : don’t do this. You can get so much more money for your home if you refresh and declutter! We can use the Compass Concierge program to pay for those updates, storage and moving - at no additional interest to you - and you can pay it back at closing! : this is an opportunity to set yourselves apart from the crowd and snag a deal! Fresh paint inside and out, new or refreshed floors and some nice new landscaping can make that tired house look exactly like the one down the street that is getting multiple offers and getting bid out of your price range! : exterior paint is typically less than $5,000. It can make a house look brand new! I’m here if you have questions, message me! I’m happy to chat about looking for a new house or selling the one you have! Don’t be shy...I’m pretty nice. . . . #losangelesrealestate #losangelesrealtor #larealestate #lahomes #larealtor #huskiesofinstagram #huskiesoflosangeles #rescuedogsoflosangeles #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescuedogsofig #huskiesofinsta #huskiesofig #huskiesofcalifornia #malamutesofinstagram #malamuteaddicts #siberianhuskiesofinstagram #dogsoflosangeles #dogsofla #losangelesdogs #rescuehusky #rescuehuskiesofinstagram See more

That time I commuted to work in our ‘60 Buick... I grew up with my dad driving blue LeSabres, so this was super on-brand! In fact, my wedding was car themed (and held at @theadmorg ) and each of the tables was named after a different Buick model - with the real badges of each model car designating each table. LeSabre, Riviera, Skylark, etc Glad I get to keep my style and flair while helping great people with their homes! . . . .... . #losangeleshomes #losangelesrealestate #losangelesrealtor #losangelesrealestateagent #larealestate #larealtor #losangelesrealestateagent #lamidcenturymodern #midcenturymodern #midcentury #midcenturymodernhome #classiccars #buicklesabre #buickmotorcompany #laderaheights #laderaheightsrealestate #viewpark #windsorhills #midcenturystyle @ Los Angeles, California See more

This throwback to one of this year’s sold listings seems appropriate this far into the year. Right??? Ok, who brought the wine? And what wine did you bring? Let’s have some fun and support a local business : Tag a buddy you want to share a bottle with and I’ll randomly choose a winner for both of you to receive a gift card to @adamswineshop! #shoplocal #shoplocallosangeles . . . #westadams ... #lahomes #larealtor #larealestate #losangelesrealestate #losangelesrealtor #viewpark #viewheights #laderaheights #leimertparkvillage #leimertpark #losangelesrealestateagent See more
