MARCH 2012: MATT VICELJA, Publisher What will spring bring? I personally look forward to daylight savings so my son can play outside a little longer and dad can have a few more minutes to unwind in the evening. Spring signifies new beginnings, warmer weather and the opportunity to celebrate St. Patty’s Day with my Irish brethren. Spring into March with plenty of local fun. Dana Point takes center stage the first two weekends of the month with the Festival of Whales. From the Grunion Run to the parade, there will be lots of activity in the harbor from March 3rd to the 11th. Laguna Beach honors those who have served our nation with the annual Patriot’s Day Parade on March 3rd. San Juan Capistrano hosts its annual presentation of Hoos’gow Day on March 23rd and the Swallows’ Day Parade on the 24th. Check out our centerfold calendar of events for activities to enjoy all month long. We are pleased to feature Robyn and Matt Webb, co-owners of OC Short Sale 411, on this month’s cover. Learn how their experience, compassion and industry connections have enabled them to successfully guide homeowners through the often frustrating short sale process. With an impressive track record that speaks for itself, they are well-equipped and dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes for their clients during an emotionally and financially difficult time.

LOCAL COVER STORY
MATT & ROBYN WEBB
to shout from the mountaintops how much better their lives are.” Robyn adds, “Giving people their lives back, and the appreciation that our clients share with us, has been the most rewarding accomplishment in my career.” Robyn has successfully negotiated over 100 short sales and has obtained an approval on every short sale attempted. Webb attributes her impressive record to carefully screening her clients, cultivating relationships with banks and not “passing clients off” to an attorney or third party negotiator. Robyn was recognized in OC Metro’s 2011 “40 Under 40,” top, young professionals in Orange County. She has also recently been selected as an Instructor for the Distressed Property Institute, home of the prestigious CDPE (Certified Distress Property Expert) designation. She is now one of only 13 instructors nationwide, and the only one in Southern California, teaching real estate agents how to properly and ethically complete short sales.
HELP FOR HOMEOWNERS Robyn and Matt are committed to helping homeowners get unbiased and accurate information about foreclosure alternatives. As a service to the greater community, they launched the non-profit organization Under Water Home 411 that acts as a support group for homeowners experiencing “ frugal fatigue.” Their free seminar series features top industry experts discussing credit impact, loan modification, short sale, bankruptcy and scam warnings in the industry. Please join them for their next seminar on March 7th at the San Juan Capistrano Community Center. Register online at www.underwaterhome411.org
In 2011, California anti-deficiency laws (580e and SB 458) passed, making California a very “short sale-friendly” state. Between the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act and the anti-deficiency laws, a vast majority of California homeowners can short sell their homes with no deficiencies and no tax consequences. The emergence of this new “distress homeowner” industry has created a boom for attorneys, loan modification companies and real estate agents. Unfortunately, not all of these professionals have the experience, expertise and industry connections necessary to achieve the most favorable outcomes. The result has been a lot of conflicting information for homeowners, which has left many feeling confused and frustrated. BY SHELLEY T. HUDSON
The real estate roller coaster has taken Orange County on a wild ride – leaving many upside down, searching for a way to get back on track. Distressed homeowners unable to make mortgage payments or facing the loss of their homes are in desperate need of experienced professionals equipped with the knowledge and industry connections to ease them through an often emotionally and financially draining process. In late 2007, Robyn Webb was studying local and national economic markers when she noticed some alarming trends. Having owned and operated a real estate business for several years, she began researching foreclosure laws in preparation for what she believed to be an impending market decline. Her husband and business partner, Matt Webb, supported her efforts to launch OC Short Sale 411. Robyn utilized her MBA and her corporate background to begin establishing high-level executive relationships with the largest banks in the mortgage industry: Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Chase. The mission of OC Short Sale 411 was simple; for those wanting to avoid foreclosure, the company provided homeowners a graceful and proactive exit from an oppressive mortgage, with the quickest financial recovery possible. “The first couple of years were rough, Robyn explains, “The banks didn’t have established processes, employee turnover was high and the volume of short sale requests was unmanageable.” Having been one of the first to tread through the complicated and arduous process of obtaining a short sale approval, Robyn collaborated with banks to streamline and improve transactions. Robyn and Matt describe their clients as “regular people who suffer from frugal fatigue.” OC Short Sale 411 primarily services homeowners who are 10% or more “underwater.” “Our clients are not enjoying their lives and have become slaves to mortgages. They are using retirement savings to pay bills and can’t even afford to go out to dinner.” Robyn and Matt are seeing a shift in the attitudes of Orange County homeowners. “People are tired of keeping up the appearance that everything is okay. We have been amazed at how many homeowners come to us embarrassed and afraid to miss mortgage payments, but after the process is complete, are ready

Eager to give homeowners a place to get accurate and unbiased information, the Webbs launched the non-profit organization, Under Water Home 411, last Fall. The mission of the organization is to reduce foreclosures through homeowner education about foreclosure alternatives. Under Water Home 411 hosts complimentary seminars every other month featuring an impressive speaker panel of industry experts from the credit, bankruptcy, short sale and loan modification fields. Recent attendee Deanne M. of San Clemente shared, “I liked that I could trust what I was being told. It was obvious all the presenters were extremely knowledgeable in their area.” While Robyn is proud of her professional recognition, she is most enthusiastic about offering effective resources for homeowners in need. “We’re helping people enjoy their lives again,” she says, “and that’s the highest priority.”
We didn’t even fully realize what a burden that home was in our lives until we were granted freedom from the oppressive debt it represented. We were slaves to it. To say our lives are improved is an understatement. You’ve given us a clean slate. What a gift!

QUESTION: My son often hobbles off the soccer field after a game. What should I do? —Rhonda, San Juan Capistrano
ROSS MEDICAL: Acute ankle injury is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries in both sedentary persons and athletes. It accounts for about 20% of all sports injuries and is often seen in basketball and soccer players. Ankle injury may also occur even when not playing sports, such as stepping off an uneven sidewalk or curb. Risk factors for ankle injury include a previous history of ankle sprain, and inadequate stretching.
Free Youth
Physicals Anytime at the San Juan Capistrano Location Evenings and Sundays only at other locations Walk-Ins & New Patients Welcome Exam only. Parent must be present. Bring physical form.
The immediate goals of treatment are to decrease pain and swelling, and to protect the ankle joint from further injury. The ‘RICE’ treatment protocol is very effective, it includes Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. Application of a cold pak to the joint has been shown to reduce swelling and helps improve recovery time. Heat is not recommended, as this will cause more swelling. Medications such as Advil and Naproxen can help reduce swelling and pain. Your physician should assess the stability of your ankle and check for joint laxity, and may order an x-ray to evaluate for possible fractures. Physical therapy after any severe injury is highly recommended. —Karl J Gebhard, MD, MS Ross Medical Associates

LOCAL BIZ
Clothes with a Conscience BY SHELLEY T. HUDSON
A trip to the local recycling center with his four-year-old son shifted George Powell’s focus from easing into retirement to launching a new business venture. George explained the concept of recycling while they inserted aluminum cans into the appropriate slots. His son asked, “Why don’t we just recycle everything?” That simple question triggered George to rethink the business in which he’d spent 30 years of his life—the garment industry. As George remembers, “I came home from the recycling center and told my wife, ‘I’m going to China tomorrow.’ And I did.” His instincts led him to combine his knowledge of premium denim fabrication with key contacts in textile mills overseas to redevelop the processes that go into manufacturing denim apparel. From the belief that environmental awareness can coexist with fashion, REUSE Jeans (R.E.U.S.E.Recycle. Environment. U. Save. Earth) was born. George and his Chinese counterpart started by focusing on the tons of discarded scrap denim that resulted after patterns were cut. Without an existing system to rework the scraps of raw material, George commissioned the mill to develop one. Four months later, he returned to see the newly engineered machinery capable of
28 MARCH 2012
a “soft opening of the yarns,” allowing denim scraps to be cleaned, shredded and spun into new yarn. This innovation was the first of its kind in the industry, but George didn’t stop there. An article Powell read while getting a haircut in Hong Kong inspired him to do more. He learned how inherently “thirsty” cotton is and calculated that a staggering 3200 gallons of water were being used to manufacture a single pair of jeans. The same story went for dyes used to color the yarns. Once the yarns were “bathed,” the dye was literally dumped down the drain. George tackled both problems and overhauled the processes so that 80% of water and 90% of dye can be recycled. George realized that without great-fitting, fashion-forward designs, his idea of manufacturing sustainable clothing would be futile. He teamed with seasoned technical and merchant designer Mandie Slayman to develop the line and her designs were a hit with customers from the start. Mandie calls the distinctive shape “a form-fitting rise” and has designed the pieces with subtle, but deliberate detailing. REUSE offers jeans for both men and women in a mix of washes, colors and cuts - from skinnys to bell bottoms. The company’s entire collection of jeans, jackets, tops, skirts and
THELOCALDISHMAGAZINE.COM
shorts are all made from 80% recycled materials. REUSE Jeans are sold at 450 retail locations throughout the country. In an effort to maintain a close dialogue with customers, Powell opened the company’s flagship store in Laguna Beach in 2011. Since then, the company has opened locations in Dallas and Beverly Hills to enthusiastic crowds and Powell has ambitious plans for a rapid expansion. Powell hopes to retire in five years and says until then, “It’s about managing exponential growth.” This father of six continues to streamline every aspect of the business and has set his sights on eliminating packaging waste and lowering shipping costs next. He’s developed private label lines using his eco-conscious manufacturing practices, including one with country singer Randy Travis, and hopes that other companies follow his lead. Stop by the flagship store on South Coast Highway in Laguna Beach and “step into a smaller carbon footprint one leg at a time.”

BY CATHY VILLAFANA
Once you set foot inside the Watermarc Restaurant located in downtown Laguna Beach, you are immediately transported into a tranquil yet chic setting that’s perfect for all occasions: date night, meeting up with friends or a private party upstairs. Nearing its third anniversary, chef/owner Marc A. Cohen set out to give Watermarc’s diners more options. And that he did. You can select dishes from the Grazing Plates if you are in the mood to sample from a fresh and eclectic selection for your entire meal. I was lucky to do just that. Fragrant and succulent, the Sizzling Garlic Shrimp was prepared with sweet onions and topped with slices of peeled citrus. Be sure to spoon the extra sauce over your shrimp. Simple ingredients make up the Ahi Watermelon Skewers, but don’t be fooled. These are incredible, and I had to call dibs on the third and final skewer — strictly for “writing” purposes, of course!

The velvety texture of the Foie Gras Brûlée, served over brioche toasts drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette, melted in our mouths. If you are a cheese lover, I strongly recommend the Warm Blue Cheese Pear Tarts. Served with burgundy-poached pears and a red wine syrup, this is a delicious starter or dessert. From the rest of the menu, we tried the Filet Three Ways. Yet again, the recurring theme of choices stood out as the platter delivered to our table showcased a trio of filet creations. The creamy Artichoke Risotto with a hint of lemon was a perfect counterpart to the meat. Near downtown earlier in the day? Watermarc offers a Lunch Menu from 11:00 to 3:30 p.m. daily which features a more laid-back set of offerings, including sandwiches, burgers and flat-bread pizzas. Watermarc also reflects its commitment to options in its wine program with wines served by the half glass and half carafe.
