Palos Verdes Coastal Lifestyle Whether you're relocating to the Los Angeles area from China or Chino Hills, you are embarking upon a lifestyle change.  Sometimes a relocation distance of 30 miles can be just as disruptive as one of 3,000 miles.  I know, I've made both type of moves!

Buying or Selling with Norma Toering & Team–What’s in It for You?

By | August 12th, 2012|An Agent's Life, Buyer Tip, Featured Posts, Inspiration, Seller Tip|

There are many moving parts in a real estate transaction. It takes a coordinated effort to close a sale. Let me echo the closing words of many newscasters, "You have many choices--thank you for choosing me."  It's true, every seller and buyer can select an agent from a variety of companies, with varying commissions and wide range of performance.  How do I impart my unique value?   After I share what I will do during the listing presentation I copy clients on many of the emails I send.  I don't copy them on every small detail, but I [...]

Paris in the Fall

By | August 9th, 2012|An Agent's Life|

2012 is slipping into the history book far too fast.  August already?  I'm on target with most of my work goals but it really is time to plan a little getaway, no, let me rephrase, another trip of a lifetime.  Yes, I booked a week in Paris and another few days of riding the rails through Switzerland (home to my paternal relatives) plus a few days lounging in the South of France. Just booking the trip put a noticeable lilt in my voice and bounce in my step.  Yes, travel is my therapy of choice.  There is something about exploring the world [...]

An update from Norma Toering and Team

By | August 9th, 2012|An Agent's Life, Beach Cities, Palos Verdes|

  I'm a novice at this, but it is necessary on so many levels I begin posting videos.  First, we're a visual species.  Real estate should be filled with unforgettable photos and videos that quickly sear the images into the memory card of the viewer.  Video is a quick, efficient and effective way to accomplish this task. Next, I have a little carpel tunnel thing going on in my left arm and shoulder--too much blogging--so I have a real need to reduce my typing time. Bear with me I will get better at videos.  In another lifetime (that would be [...]

Going Home Without the Gold

By | August 2nd, 2012|An Agent's Life, Front Page, Inspiration, Linkedin|

A medal is not the measure of success or failure at the Olympics.   Everyone loves a winner.  We cheer, we clap and the media fawns over the winner while those who failed to reach equal heights watch from the shadows or burrow their heads in their hands to hide tears of disappointment. Some come close, others miss the mark by a wider margin.   Like millions of others around the world I've been keeping late hours while uncharacteristically glued to my Sony flat screen.  The drama unfolds in a variety of arenas from pool to balance beams and I don't want to [...]
