Who cares if the Ground Hog got it right…


Spring is Springing! Yay! I just came inside from shooting a video outside, and WOW! It’s nice out! Yes, I realize that when you get this and read it that it could be cold and rainy, but those cold days are just about over. Everyone loves Spring, primarily because it means…summer is near!

For many across this great country, though, it’s still COLD, grey, and snowy! One thing is for sure, this winter season is coming to an end. It does every year without fail.


Just like the weather, seasons come and go, so do the seasons of life. I just turned 55, my children are off figuring out work and life and my grandchildren are waiting for their turn to rule the world. Are you with me when I say that these seasons seem to come and go faster and faster as well as the time? My wife reminded me last night we have shared 34 of my birthdays together. Some of life’s seasons will be HOT, and others will be COLD, some high and some low. The lows we want to move by quickly, the highs we want to stay in forever. However, it’s the low points, those tough times, that I have learned the most from. All of the experiences through these seasons make me who I am.


Unfortunately, there are some that will have a Spring Time they would much rather forget.


With all the beauty this Spring time brings, there is also the ugly for some. Not far from where I’m typing this, Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles has a full house of kids with many fighting for their lives.


For them and their families, Spring time is the furthest thing from their mind. Don’t get me wrong, these families long to see their kids out in the yard playing or riding their bikes but for now, they are praying this will be a season of healing.


Children's Hospital Los Angeles is ranked No. 5 on the Best Children's Honor Roll. It is nationally ranked in 10 pediatric specialties. It is a children’s general medical and surgical facility. It is a teaching hospital. We continue to make donations because so many of our great clients do business with us and refer those they know wanting to refinance, buy or sell. THANK YOU!


As you probably know, we donate a portion of our income to some AMAZING worthy causes! Like Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, one of the country’s leading non-profit.


Their work in helping kids fight thru and survive nasty debilitating diseases like cancer, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, leukemia as well as their work in early diagnosis of autism and spinal cord injuries is second to none! And as the leading not for profit hospital in our area, you probably know they need sponsorships and donations to continue their leading-edge care and keep family’s expenses to a minimum. We are committed to donating a portion of our income from home sales to this very worthy cause. So, YOUR REFERRALS really do HELP THE KIDS…


Who do you know considering buying or selling a home, or investing in real estate you could refer to my team? Not only will they benefit from our award-winning service, but the kids at the Children’s Hospital will benefit as well.


Just give me a call or pass my number on to anyone you know considering buying or selling. My number is 310-877-3612.


You and your referrals mean more than ever to my team and I. As we move forward thru this red-hot summer, please know we are extremely thankful for you and you being a special part of our business.

Here To Serve Big!!!
