Lynne Pope is your Realtor in Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach

RE/MAX agents from France living in America can be credited for creating this relationship withthe world.  It began with the need. Being part of a family connected to several states in America and  in other countries is the first incentive.

The best way to serve our family and friends is to help them connect. It’s got that wireless feeling.  Years ago our local MLS wondered if they should join in southern California. Leadership moved forward and connected the dots to our future.

At the same time I am part of a group, way beyond sharing locally. It is exciting to plug into the Canadian market, the European countries and find the agents through this amazing relationship freeway! Should I really say AIRWAY!

Look for new listings as I forge ahead with this organization.  You must have questions. Call me and ask for I am looking forward to sharing this new information. Global open houses.

How do I give back?  With time, money and attention. No special order- they all apply to the realtor that can take you home. Time to drive you around and show you the

amazing beach areas.   Coming to California?  We are ready for you.

Hermosa Beach Living room

Turn being trim and being home into one. Look great as you walk 3 blocks to Hermosa Beach and go from VIEWS ocean and valley fight into a full swim. This absolute beauty is Private, has amazing light filling this tiered single family home. Quiet and off the beaten path. Well its not quiet if you amp up that 7000 dollar speaker system from  Bowers and Wilken – only the best will do here.  Wine cellar closet chilling to perfection, Dry Sauna, wet sauna too. Now lets talk the California and Hermosa Beach lifestyle. Its open open plan in and out. This home has rooftop deck, balcony off living room, huge patio off Kitchen,  balcony and patio off Master Bedroom ( the master closet is as big as a room) and a fantastic patio on the family room level- instead of a yard. I was told they hung out there much of the time.  Yes this beauty has some stairs, and flooring throughout in wood and stone finishes. Doesn’t it sound heavenly?  It is.

Valley and light views from Kitchen patio

What about a home with ocean view from the family room and Kitchen where you entertain and everyone can flow from the cook to the deck and see everyone as the eat, drink and mill around the lovely beach atmosphere? Yes they can go up to the rooftop deck and have a panoramic view from Malibu to Catalina. The balconies in this home let in the outside ocean waves sounds and the fountains in the courtyard or deck. 360 degree light Delights everyone. Gated backyard will make a happy safe spot for your pets.

Its a small world. Your neighbors would be people that you would love to meet. Everyone is casual here and walk the dogs around the streets stopping to chat and greet. Since I live right down the street I can easily show the homes I have listed nearby. Yes I have been blessed to represent families in houses all around the North Hermosa community.

Hermosa has so much to offer in quality of lifestyle. The home is an easy walk to downtown, the library, shops and restaurants. Best of all its a short walk to the beach about 2 blocks.

FACEBOOK open houses

With Facebook growing pages and friends in high places maybe the open house ads need to run to FACEBOOK as fast as they have on CRAIGS LIST in the past.

Realtors are bombarded with people telling us they will give us top page for Google..only do this,,,only do that.

I do a lot of open houses. Yet the sales I have this year have not come from that. It came from people who know me. Still its a way of getting out there and meeting people.

 So open house on many listings is entered into the MLS and picked up and promoted on other sites.

This week there will be an open house…but rain is coming.

Do you go shopping in the rain before Christmas?

When you sell a home or buy a home its like having a baby.

There is a lot of first time feeling. Inexperience. Wonder. Other people have done this, maybe I can too?

Same for when you buy or sell a home.

Wondering when it will happen?  When it ‘s due and when it comes is out of your hands!!!

Same for when it sells or when it closes

INSOMNIA

Same stuff

Awkward

Dont get funny  here its having the baby, not just making one.

Fixing it up to look good

Are you still with me?

9 ms or more is a long time

Once you start down the path its hard to back out

I hope you enjoy the endless support I can think of to convince you its like having a baby.

Perhaps you will enjoy the name statistics closing up the 2010 year!

Summer in the Fall for LA Beaches. After a 2010 summer of cloud layers everyone wondered if the climate changes were real. The good news is that its over..and the heat wave of the summer elsewhere allowed our residents the choice of staying cool at home or taking a drive East about 3 miles and enjoying the sunshine over there. The Swimming pools in our area are a wonderful treat for our children year round. Where else is this going on?

One person told me that the Rose Bowl showing our local weather to the world caused more people to move to the beaches than any other thing.  Could be? But for me- I moved to California in 1968 and it was like coming home forever. I lived in Hollywood, N. Hollywood, Sun Valley, Handcock Park 1972 and our  first home cost 45K , Woodland Hills 1983 then Hermosa Beach 1986. You can see the economics getting better. 

Home Ownership is the single best economic thing that I have accomplished. I have 2 listings in Hermosa Beach, 2055 Circle Drive pending sale, and 2010 Manhattan Ave for sale. This N. Hermosa area is truly one of the best Beach cities to live in. Our open houses this weekend were sunny and warm but best of all, the sparking Blue Pacific was RADIANT.
