It is not hard to find a real estate agent.  We post signs all over the neighborhood when we hold an open house.  Our offices are scattered all over the Palos Verdes Peninsula, and whether you walk in or phone in, there is usually an agent on call to answer your questions.  If you're hoping for more than potluck,  my suggestion is to ask trusted friends and family for recommendations.  Especially if they recently completed a real estate sale or purchase. Once you have a name or two, it's time to do a little online shopping.  Do a Google search on each agent of [...]

I could try to describe this view for you, but the iPhone says it so much better.  I'll take this view from any window any time! Josh and I were out previewing new listings in Palos Verdes, as we do every Tuesday morning, and I could not let this view slip past my eyes without capturing a small snippet of its beauty. Yes, it's true, we're fortunate to work in such a beautiful area; many days my job does not feel like work at all.

By | January 21st, 2013|Front Page, Palos Verdes, Palos Verdes Estates, Palos Verdes Luxury Homes, Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates, Seller Tip|

It's a Super Time to Sell Your Palos Verdes Home by Norma Toering - Broker Associate RE/MAX Estate Properties  (310) 493-8333   I hate to sound like a broken record, but let me repeat--Palos Verdes has only 102 single family homes for sale--the lowest number I recall in over 20 years of selling real estate on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Sellers, the timing is perfect to sell a Palos Verdes property.  The low inventory means you will have very little competition.  The high number of prospective buyers means with on-point pricing, preparation and marketing your property will soon be wearing [...]

Point Vincente Lighthouse in Rancho Palos Verdes  January 2012 I went out on a limb and predicted, "2012 will be the best year since 2007 for Palos Verdes homeowners to consider selling a property."  At press time January 2012 there were 166 single family Palos Verdes homes for sale.  January 2013 showed 108 PV single family houses for sale.  Over 600 Palos Verdes single family homes sold in 2012.   2012 was the year of the comeback for Palos Verdes real estate. The numbers for 2013 are even stronger. Over 700 Palos Verdes single family homes sold in 2013. The local housing [...]

Malaga Cove Plaza in Palos Verdes Estates I try not to traipse my prospective buyers in and out of homes that do not meet their search criteria.  Not only is it a time waster for them and for me, it reflects on my ability to do my job in a professional and expedient manner.  With that goal in mind, every Tuesday finds Josh and I out previewing new listings in Palos Verdes.   Many agents have forsaken the Tuesday morning tours in favor of viewing photos online, virtual tours and other new school tools available to today's real [...]

The Palos Verdes Farmer's Market is held every Sunday in the Peninsula Shopping Center from 9 am until 1 pm.  They have vendors for fresh fruits, vegetables, fresh cut flowers, live plants and flowers, breads, cakes, honey, art, local books and food.  They close down a section of the parking lot near the Starbucks on the corner. We picked up fresh eggs and some of the highly reviewed hummus.  Please note though that no dogs are allowed in the market, per LA County regulations. PV Farmer's Market review on Yelp.
