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

There is a “short sale” for sale in Carson that has been “short changed” in the MLS photo department 

Short sales are a difficult business. For everyone. I could go on and on, but the result is that a bank owned is easier for Realtors and the clients.

The description-nice 4br/2ba home in carson area -this home offers four bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, family kitchen, lots of storage, small private backyard and more.

the only mls photo for the property…

Could you put the lid down?  Did you get a photo of the front of the house?

This is one way to get people to talk about your listing.

The South Bay Board of Realtors offers an annual Mayor Breakfast meeting. This year the main theme was Transportation with aging sewer systems coming in a close second. These 2 are always related as to repair one the other stops.Seriously- In Palos Verdes the main issue is “aging sewer” systems as it can cause the caving in of streets. They are combining new concepts such as  re-pipe with liners inside the crumbling remaining pipes. Its an expensive issue and also a  mess. Call it the lawsuit starting to happen. Importantly- you can’t leave Palos Verdes without going through one of the towns in this report. The transportation issue affecting the following areas; Torrance, Gardena, Carson, Lawndale, Lomita, Hermosa Beach, and

Redondo Beach mayors were there. The growth and demand was being handled differently.

Redondo Beach is voting to limit growth in the upcoming months. Carson and

Gardena are putting tons of money in freeway access.

2. The State has not and my not be receiving the funds allocated to arrive. The elected officials have to fight to get it.3. Aging sewer systems. All built at the same time and falling apart at the same time. mostly the 1950′s The big growth after the War.4. The cities don’t all work together. WHY? Because…Some have Union issues separating, some have State and City money and some do not as independent charter towns.5. They do talk to each other and TRY to work together when and if possible.6. The States gives mandates…that the cities don’t have money to follow.7.

Lawndale has money. Try being a city manager without funds -most of the other cities didn’t have enough.8. The war cost to our Country and the fact that we were fighting it alone.  Paying for local support over there is helping. (details on another blog) 9.The mandate to auto builders to create less gas dependant vehicles

10.

Schools and Health care are not high on the radar of our cities as nearly 1/2 of the Nations supplies and the Transportation of goods across our local roads crush our streets over the aged sewer system.As we grow so does the ….to hit the fan.  Did I say that?????I need to mention the word Brown Fields.
