I am not even kidding. I had a pristine property for sale for months. This is the Crenshaw Manor area in Los Angeles, California. My listing began November 28 through the winter, through the rains (yes we really have them, even in California- weekends of wet open houses in Feb). Then the check to the Gardener was returned as a bad address.

The grass started to grow. The neighbors complained and the grass grew as I struggled to find the gardner and pay him.  My seller had moved. As the grass grew the calls grew…sometimes 5 a day. Where have you been? I asked the people driving through the neighborhood. They just didn’t pay attention to a white post with a sign- it took a yard of grass for people to sniff out a Good Deal.

And yes a short sale is a good deal. I think even a better deal than REO- foreclosures. Now I did get that grass cut. I am still hunting for the Gardener. Someone cut it and I don’t even know who. I think a good neighbor.

This could be my contoversial blog…

As for short sale, I have had it in escrow 4 times. The falling out business has been a learning curve. A few were the banks fault..so slow, two were lender/realtor fault one had to be my fault, just to be fair.

My pet peive…..realtor/lendors or lender/aka new realtors. This is a breed in the area that is really not good in either area from my view. In each case I have been amazed at the lack of ability in either world. What is your take on the breed?

Oh who am I to not even be able to find Octavio Gonzales in a sea of Gonzalaes’ in LA.

Inspiration comes in many packages. The Real Estate Show is what started me on the journey of Blogging. It is addictive to me now. I just don’t want to live without it.

My friends that don’t require birthday gifts.

Here is the link to todays charming blog site. These guys share real estate and food in a party way. Someone loves to take pictures too.Clark County Real Estate Guide: On The Border Opens Cinco de Mayo

So why use this step? It is the most logical way to show a moving story. It is simple and yummy. Interesting and well presented. It really makes one like them too.

Its easy utube, its local, and people like me, want to keep in touch.

What can we do better to feature our local area?

Thank you Ken Burns for the development in Cinematography. As a graduate of American Film Institute in Los Angeles California I learned to appreciate all advances in Cinema.

I went to www.Wikipedia.org to look up further details. As always I was facinated with what Ken Burns inspiration came from.

This excerpt explains. 

“Burns has credited documentary filmmaker Jerome Liebling for teaching him how still photographs could be incorporated into documentary films.^[2] He has also cited the classic 1957 National Film Board of Canada documentary City of Gold, co-directed by Colin Low and Wolf Koenig, as a source of inspiration for this technique.^[3][4][5] Winner of the Palme d’or at the Cannes Film Festival and nominated for an Academy Award,^[6] City of Gold used animation camera techniques to slowly pan and zoom across archival footage of Canada’s Klondike Gold Rush.^[7]

The British Broadcasting Corporation’s documentary series The Great War, first shown in 1964, used both extensively.^{[citation needed]”}
