What do you worry about?

If you're a typical Realtor in Los Angeles, then you probably worry about the current market conditions. If you are a home buyer or seller, then it's probably very much on your mind. Even though we all know that Real Estate is cyclical, it still can be a scary time. I know that every day I get out and meet new clients or work with buyers on their first home purchase I always have to show confidence even when I sometimes don't feel all that confident. The news media doesn't help - do we really need to be bombarded 24/7 with clips of the stock market floor in a frenzy? Or see the graphs depicting home prices falling? I have chosen not to surround myself (as much as possible) with negative images and noise. I choose not to have a TV in my home. I choose to walk away from negative energy in my industry and surround myself with people that move forward, no matter what. Will this correct the real estate cycle? Maybe not immediately but in the long term, it will definitely be moving it in the right direction. So the next time I hesitate to answer a question from my buyer or seller, remember, it's not necessarily that I don't know the answer - it could be that I'm just taking the time to catch my breath and remember that what goes down, DOES indeed go up. Helping you live your Life to the Max!

Follow your dreams

I listened to Steve Jobs commencement speech at Stanford University that he presented in 2005 and was again reminded how important it is to love what you do. Real estate to me is filled with new ideas, encounters, and an opportunity to fulfill a lifelong desire to be challenged daily and I truly love what I do. I wake up in the morning wondering who I might meet during my door-knocking or how I will negotiate the offer I made on behalf of a buyer on a complicated short sale. It gets my blood pumping, for sure. But no less important is the other side of the coin – love yourself enough to make time to take care of yourself personally as well.

2200' of vertical climb, 3.6 miles to the top of Bulldog Trail at Malibu Creek SP

I started my day yesterday with a 13 mile run through the trails of Malibu Creek State Park which included a 3.6 mile climb up Bulldog trail with 2200’ of vertical ascent. By the time I got to the top, my heart was indeed pumping but I was greeted with a phenomenal panoramic view of the park below me and the ocean with Catalina in the distance behind me. I took a few minutes to sit down and just enjoy the view. I was completely alone – at that time of day (early morning) there aren’t many hikers/runners or bikers out there so I got to experience absolute silence which we don’t often hear, so to speak.  I reflected on what my day might shape up to be and how I could keep challenging myself.  As I headed back down the mountain towards my car, I realized I am blessed to have my health, my family and friends, and the ability to follow my dreams, both professionally and personally.
