Palos Verdes Lifestyle Selected as a Top 100 Real Estate Blog

April 12, 2013 in An Agent's Life, Front Page, Palos Verdes, Palos Verdes Luxury Homes

Palos Verdes from Torrance Beach

A overloaded work week almost kept me from opening an email announcing my Palos Verdes Lifestyle Real Estate Blog was selected as one of 100 Real Estate Blogs to Follow in 2013 in a nationwide poll.  Not a bad list to make considering I blog to a very tiny audience compared to many on the list that blog to the entire nation or at least a major city.  Redfin’s national blog ranked number one and I eeked into the top 100 at number 96.

My Palos Verdes Lifestyle Blog targets a very small area of South Bay Los Angeles–Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills and Rolling Hills Estates–the four small cities on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.  Our Toering and Team website covers the beach cities of Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach with a few articles on other areas in the South Bay.

I am delighted my little niche Palos Verdes blog ranked right up there with the big national blogs.

You can count on me to keep blogging about life on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.  Bookmark my blog and visit often–you’re in good company!

Little Luxuries of the Palos Verdes Lifestyle

Whenever people ask me where I’m from, when traveling outside California, they most often have a quizzical look on their face after my reply.  I know what’s coming next.  “Palos Verdes?  Where’s that?”

Of course,  if I want to avoid the long explanation I simply say, “Los Angeles,” and leave it at that.  The truth is, the anonymity of the locale is a luxurious aspect of life on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.  This is not Hollywood, nor Beverly Hills or even Malibu.  The world has heard of those glittering places; not so Palos Verdes.

The majesty and length of our scenic coastline is another luxurious perk of life on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.  Eons ago, this land was an island, and as the name implies, it is surrounded on three sides by glorious cliffs meeting the regal Pacific Ocean.  The end of land and the beginning of water is a dramatic transition.  Palos Verdes is known for its cliffs and hills, not its sandy beaches–those can be found in the adjoining beach cities of Redondo, Hermosa and Manhattan.

There is room to roam (miles and miles of hiking trails) and plenty of open space to stroll and enjoy the geological wonders of the area.  It’s easy to leave the urban sprawl of LA in the flatlands below and exhale as you enter the Palos Verdes area.  Whether your home is an equestrian estate in Rolling Hills, a villa by the sea in Malaga Cove or an ocean view home high in the hills of Rancho Palos Verdes it does not take long to realize you are a part of something very special.

Those are a few of the quiet little luxuries of life on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

What’s the Best Tool in a Palos Verdes Listing Agent’s Marketing Toolbox?

Answer: The Multiple Listing Service and the thousands of agents it reaches. It may be Old School but it is effective. Consider it the early predecessor to Facebook. As members of the same big network agents can see what other agents are listing and selling. We are privy to when a property goes under contract or when it fall out of contract. We know when a listing expires or is canceled. We post our open houses, both public and professional on the network. Although it’s been around for decades the MLS still packs a powerful punch in the business model for real estate.

Last week Norma Toering & Team posted two new listings. Within the hour there were two agent in our office with pen in hand and ready to call their clients. A showing ensued before the MLS Hotsheet of new listings cooled. That’s the chain reaction of an effective MLS. Seller, don’t even consider listing your property with an agent that does not belong to the MLS–your property needs to be there to gain full exposure to the market.

Coming in at second position, in my opinion, is the Internet and all the wonderful sub-tools this gigantic global network folds under its wings. As listing agents, our new listings fly through the sky at the speed of light. Our website IDX is waiting stealthily for a new contact request 24/7. If the thought of a new request from some distant shore will not roll you out of bed in the wee hours of the morning I don’t know what will. I confess I’m already a morning person, but I love the thrill of a new inquiry on one of my listings, or any listing, and I’m elated to see it morning, noon, or night. It’s my signal my marketing is working–I’m reaching people all over the world with news of property for sale in my local communities.

Sellers, make sure the agent you select to list you property is connected to Internet marketing in a very strong way. That’s where your buyer will most likely begin his search for a new home. Let Norma Toering & Team help you find your buyer.

Sellers, This Is Your House Speaking to You

We’ve had some good times together, but the time has come for us to go our separate ways.  You’ll be moving on and I’ll stay behind. Yes, it’s true, you have outgrown me.  Before you walk away, here are a few hints to make our parting filled with more sweet than sorrow:

 

1.  Garage sale, Goodwill or Simply Give Stuff Away:  I don’t want to look like I’m bursting the seams of every room, closet and drawer.  So please help me lighten the load, look sleeker and more spacious by keeping only what fits. Once that excess baggage is gone you’ll be surprised at how roomy I can still look.

2.  Cover the Walls (and scuff marks, crayon marks and fingerprints) with a Fresh Coat of Paint:    Paint is to walls as Botox is to wrinkles. There’s nothing like fresh paint for an instant lift. Dollar for dollar it is one of the best pre-sale investments you can make.  Go neutral but not boring.  Think taupe, vanilla or milky white shades of paint.  Every room does not have to be  stark white.  Show off my best architectural features with a shade lighter or darker in the same color family.  After the painting is finished scrub, polish and shine the rest of the house. You may be surprised to discover your old house can still turn more than a few heads.

3.  Now Don’t Get Emotional, You Want Someone Else to Fall in Love with Me:  I know I’m looking so good you are having second thoughts about leaving, but you know in your heart we are no longer right for each other.  I appreciate your help in making me as attractive as possible for my next owner, but I know it serves you well too.  Your extra efforts will put more cash in your pocket at the closing table.  A house with curb appeal and interior pzazz will often sell sooner, and for more money, than a neglected “as is” wallflower.  You did the right thing and can leave with your head held high, plus the extra cash will come in handy when it’s time to dress up your new place.

4.  Deferred Maintenance Will Get You One Way or Another:  Fix it now, or pay later either with a cash credit or repairs prior to the close of escrow.  My roof is patched and showing its age and yes, those leaky faucets are still dripping away.  I’ll show and sell so much better with those problems gone.

 Ok, I see that admiring look in your eyes, you’re pretty pleased with my results aren’t you?

Together we were quite a team, and moving forward will be so much easier with a little effort before the “For Sale” sign goes in the ground.  Let’s part on the best of terms.

Buyers on Fire While Sellers Sleep

Ignition of match, with smoke on black

 

I am one of several hundred real estate agents and brokers engaged in the art (or shall I say war) of selling real estate on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.  Add a thousand or so more South Bay and Beach Cities agents and we are all ready to write an offer with a tap on the iPad, seal it with an electronic signature and send it on its merry way to find its place amid a pile of similar offers on the same property.  Multiple offers are the norm, not the exception these days.

Yes, it’s a battle zone out there and both buyers and agents are bruised, battered and beleaguered by current market conditions.  Meanwhile, sellers are once again sleeping well while visions of new-found equity dance in their heads.  I’ve not yet heard Marie Antoinette’s famous line of, “Let them eat cake,” but there is certainly no rush to market to satiate the intense buyer hunger enveloping the nation.

Perhaps the buyer for your home is one of the buyers in my pack of prospective would-be Palos Verdes, or other cities, buyers if only they could find a home.  I’ll only mention those from my list that are so hot to buy the flame is visible in their eyes:

1)  Family of four living in temporary quarters and scanning new listings daily.  What their hearts desire:  4-bedrooms, pool and a yard for kids.  Area:  Palos Verdes

2)  Ocean view property with yard and remodeled for busy executive relocating to Palos Verdes.

3)  Beach cottage or townhouse in Manhattan Beach–former chef wants a great kitchen.

4)  Cash buyer wants ocean view in Rancho Palos Verdes or South Shores.

5)  South Bay income property wanted yesterday by several investors.

6)  Oceanfront property, or very close, with open floor plan.

I could go on, but if I have this many “hot” buyers, I’m certain most other active agents have an equal or greater number.  Last week Norma Toering & Team added four new qualified and ready to buy customers to our active list.  I only wish we had four new listings to show to each of them.

Sellers, maybe it’s time to wake up from the long rest the market took during the recession and open your front door to waiting buyers.  More than likely there are multiple buyers waiting to purchase your home too.
