Trump is not rags to riches but the American Dream and Hero all the same. How dare I compare? It’s a free country. They both lost it all, found it, lost the girl, found her. So many things to say. First of all they were both true to their dream. In the same earth where so many sell out only for the money, they didn’t. Trump is legit, he does it with Real Estate, Books, Speeches, TV, just call it seeing what is working and making it fit. That is leadership, showmanship all together. He says buy up properties now. Those who can are. Those who can refi will. 

I believe in Spirit. Spirit of Christmas, Spirit of hope and goodwill. The ability of people to overcome against great odds. Our country, our earth is turning over and over. The inventors are working to create a new vision of transportation. The current fossel fuel, craft and graft of so long is expopsed. The dream Buckminster Fuller had of housing and sharing energy for world peace may have its day. If you don’t know about the plan he had it is well worth researching and finding. In a nutshell- take the earth map and flatten it out. See the sun as it moves across the map and let it power and share as it goes across. The old power plants that turn off and on take more energy to start than to run the whole day. So keep it going and move it along to give to the next in line for the sun path. Give energy to the places in the world without, keep it going along the circle of the earth. Countries sharing power will not go to war, they are already sharing what they have most vaulable of all, energy.

TRUMP

The sliding hillsides in Palos Verdes. No concrete foundations will work right where the land is moving. But a goldmine of a view surrounded by land, Trump saw only a golf course would do. He had to learn how to work with the Palos Verdes School system. No hero has it easy.

The movie- Kenneth Turan’s #1 Slumdog Millionaire. I was not sure if I should go alone or with my husband. We just could not deal with another depressing moment. We needed an escape and we got it. A great escape to believe in possibilities. To dream a big idea and be so grateful for the best we have.

We have bought homes over time and missed the pain of the wrong market. We have a rule. Never buy a home we don’t love. We are going to be with it for a very long time. We bought at the top of the chart Nov. 2005 some say. Like the slumdog we will have to work smarter, look for opportunity, and be ever so grateful for so many things. The We I refur to is the greatest thing of all that I have and it is this “We” my husband since 1976. Our family is our treasure.

I believe. I hope and dream. The good is more valuable in every person than ever before. We need each other. We need to stand up together -heroes – every day by every choice.

TRUMP what a name and Terranea

Isn’t it amazing. This guy is born with the name TRUMP, not Fisher, Smith, Cher, Butz…I could go on and on with the coolness of that name.

How about Terranea? Cool all over right. Last week I found out it is the middle part of the word Mediterranean! It is a vision and it is now real. 2 miles of coastline 102 acres of ocean view. There are only 3 places in the area doing this kind of income producing play place…. Coronado Beach San Diego, The Beach house in Hermosa Beach. It is family and pet friendly too. The places they have thought of the things to do. It is a country club, vacation place for 2 ms in a year. and they help you terraneaterranearent it out and care for it. Dream that came true right? Its wedding central too. Casitas, villas spa, pools one with a 140 ft slide, fire pits, 3 mile trail, 3 restaurants, 24 hr room service. There is too too much to tell. How about a few photos. If you are ready to buy I can help you with the 4.2 it will take to own one of you r own. What a great Christmas present. Hurry, they are going fast. Seriously, FAST.

Palos Verdes

Palos Verdes is the Crown Jewel in the South Bay area. The raised land is a hill of volcanic rock surrounded by sandy beach towns. Typical home styles are long and low in the

California ranch, Spanish colonial and Mediterranean architecture styles. The styles find harmony with natural materials, muted earth tones and simple roof forms. Each city has its own personality, and people generally choose their favorite area by factors related to the ocean, the schools, and the commute to work. The overall area is called the

Palos Verdes

 Peninsula, it is divided into four major territories; Palos Verdes Estates, Rolling Hills Estates, Rolling Hills and

Rancho Palos Verdes.

More information about these communities can be found on their websites: Palos Verdes Estates, Rolling Hills Estates, Rolling Hills and Rancho Palos Verdes 

Some enthusiasts call Palos Verdes “the dragon” as it resembles a curled up sleeping dragon from an overhead view. It is a powerful image and energy area.  Right now* June 2008, there are many Palos Verdes properties for sale under 1 million. The lowest starting price is 850000. Some of the homes have a wonderful view!  In January we had 13.5 ms of inventory and in April we have 6.5 ms of inventory. This means we are in a balanced market. If it goes over 6ms it becomes a buyers market. This is the benchmark that Realtors use to determine the market.

There are quite a few lovely Condo complexes in the area. One is called,”The Terraces” it is is a lush landscaped gated area at the top of the hill. They have 5 large swimming pools and 2 tennis courts and  strolling paths.

The schools are the top reason  people move to Palos Verdes. The second reason is that they were raised there. It’s beautiful and and a true oasis in Los Angeles. It could be the winding white fences, green everywhere, the horses, the ocean views and the fresh air that tops the list of people who move there and stay. My son left an advertising career to own his own restaurant on the top of the hill at Silver Spur Road. Chicken Dijon is a family favorite of eat in or take home dinner or lunch. Many Real Estate agents use the House salad as a “Brokers Open”meal.

This is my “Palos Verdes Specialist “pin. The MLS in the area offers this comprehensive training for Real Estate agents. The days of study include trips to each city office and meeting with city personnel and managers. We travel by van with a teacher training on the tour. Everyone is amazed by the detail of the course.
