Our success is only as great as the experience of each and every client. Dear Christian, I wanted to take a moment and thank you for your heroics in executing a $2.1M mortgage approval, loan and close within less than 10 days. As you know, we were pre-approved by another lender for months on a challenging short sale only to find out at the eleventh hour that the lender ultimately would not approve our loan. This left us very little time to re-start the process as the impending short sale was nearing a firm foreclosure date. However, through your efforts we were able to process the entire loan and close on our new dream home in less than 10-days. You knew exactly what was required and were always three steps ahead anticipating the lenders likely requests. Without your experience, relationships, professionalism and quick actions we would have lost our new home. Thank you so much for your assistance. Please feel free to have any potential clients contact me as a reference. Kind regards, - James M. Haefner, Chief Operating Officer | A T H E N I X

Supply has increased in all regions of the South Bay and is a normal indication of the start of a softer market when there are more options for Buyers and higher competition amongst Sellers. Not at all bad news with overall South Bay values holding strong year over year during the same period which is a much different story then the rest of the nation where home values have declined as much as 15% in the last year alone (15.1% to be exact in Medford, OR). My analysis illustrates a significant valuation spike throughout Palos Verdes Peninsula over the past few weeks and a less than desirable decrease in the Manhattan/Hermosa communities....

Portuguese Bend Gatehouse: The Gatehouse at the entrance gate to the Portuguese Bend community was built by Mr. Vanderlip and was modeled after an Italian roadside chapel used by Michelangelo when he painted the Sistine Chapel. It has one bedroom, two courtyards, one with a rose garden with a fountain and a high ceilinged living room. It is currently occupied and is being beautifully restored by the current owners. “Villa Francesca” Gatehouse: Harry Benedict, the personal secretary for Frank Vanderlip, built the “Villa Francesca” as a gatehouse to the other entrance to the Portuguese Bend gated community on Peppertree Drive. He had planned to build a more palatial estate further up the hill, but as the Depression hit, he abandoned his plans. Elin Vanderlip, in her memoirs tells the story that Frank Vanderlip Sr., while vacationing in Paris, had cabled Mr. Benedict just prior to the 1929 stock market crash to sell his stocks, but Mr. Benedict thought better of it and did not, thus costing Mr. Vanderlip millions of dollars. Mr. Benedict also had control of the Palos Verdes Corporation from 1943 to 1945, which owned the Vanderlip family’s remaining ownership of the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

The Harden House: Across the street from the Portuguese Bend Gatehouse and the entrance to the Portuguese Bend community is a house behind a beautiful Gatehouse. This gatehouse was also modeled after one in Italy. The house, known as “The Harden House”, was built by Frank Vanderlip’s beloved sister Ruth and her husband Eddie Harden, a business partner of Vanderlip. Vanderlip had given Ruth the 48 acres of coastal land on the ocean side of Palos Verdes Drive South. They constructed a four bedroom home with a 6 car garage. They had planned to build a grand villa out on Portuguese Point, but again the Great Depression foiled those plans. Interestingly, the gate entrance to the estate was used in the movie “It’s a mad, mad, mad world” as the entrance to the fictitious “Santa Rosita State Park” and the scene with the crossed palm trees was also filmed on the Harden House grounds. After Ruth died, the Harden House estate was reduced from 48 acres to approx. 2 acres, with the balance of the property acquired by the City of Rancho Palos Verdes as The Abalone Cove Shoreline Park.

NEPTUNIAN WOMEN’s CLUB
By Quinn Roberts Three years before Manhattan Beach officially became incorporated, the Neputunian Women’s club was making its mark on the community. Now, over 100 years later, the club is still going strong, making their giving presence felt throughout Manhattan Beach. Formed in 1909, ten women came together and formed the club, having an immediate impact on a beach community of only 600 people then. While Manhattan Beach’s population is quite larger today, the club’s charitable presence is still felt. “We are a group of dedicated women making a difference in the community,” 1st Vice President Elaine Trotter said, a six year member. “While we help so many, we also benefit from it.” Supporting educational, environmental and civic projects in Manhattan Beach and the South Bay, the club does everything from sell cookies to benefit the Roundhouse Aquarium to wrapping gifts at the Manhattan Beach Mall during Christmas time to gardening and maintaining the 9/11 Memorial in Manhattan Beach. In the early years of the club’s existence, the Neptunians were responsible for the first library and school, as well as tree planting throughout the community and helping Manhattan Beach’s original Boy Scout troop. Now totaling around 200 members, the Neptunians come from all different walks of life. Some are lawyers, housewives, teachers, grandmothers. The list goes on. The club even has a member, Nancy Wilson, who is a spry 100 years young. Each live in the South Bay and have a common goal to try and better the communities they live in. “It really is a great mix of people,” Trotter said. “Everyone brings their talents to the table.” As a non-profit organization, the women meet once a month every Tuesday at 920 Highland Avenue in Manhattan Beach--only a few blocks from the beach--to discuss upcoming events and how to better the community. Nearly as old as the club itself, the Clubhouse was built in 1925. The stage and reception rooms in the building are also used by the community for local entertainment, including plays. “There really is a wealth in what we do,” Trotter said. “While most of it might be little, it has been constant over the years. We are everywhere and wherever and whenever you need.”

As you may know, the Palos Verdes Peninsula is a hilly community. And one good thing that comes with the hills are some outstanding ocean views. Unfortunately the downside is because of the hills, the yards tend to be small to non existent. NOT SO HERE!! Here you “get the best of both worlds!” ... HUGE panoramic Pacific Ocean views with the Channel Islands AND you get a huge flat back yard. Additionally, you get a master suite that is spacious and voluminous.
The Best Doesn’t Cost More, It’s Priceless.

3807 Crest Road, Rancho Palos Verdes Architecturally significant, sited on just over a half acre and oriented wide-view toward the Los Angeles basin. This masterfully designed contemporary home has a skyline view of downtown that is captured from all primary rooms. The periphery north is Malibu and to the south, the Los Angeles Harbor. The concept was to embrace the site by allowing the environment to dictate design decisions, three stories envelop the vertical site showcasing the view with clean architectural lines, exposed structural steel and floor-to-ceiling glass. Geometric rooms with acute angles, radius windows and a polyhedron raised skylight make this residence a work of structural sculpture and art.

CHOOSING YOUR REAL ESTATE AGENT ave you ever seen this line in a newspaper or website? “I’m the #1 agent!” or “Hire me, I am # 1!” Did you also happen to notice that line on almost every page of the Real Estate section? Heck, I myself am guilty of using the term, and I am not alone. Unfortunately, it is probably one of the most over used descriptions an agent can use in trying to promote their skill. Naturally, the assumption is that sellers desire to hire the best in the business. Likewise, if an agent has ever achieved #1 at anything they should let you know about it. The fun part is reading the fine print, if they are brave enough to publish it. If they were, it would read something like this: “#1 agent …in my office for the month of April 2011.” What is missing from the fine print may be that there are 10 agents total in their office, and no one else was lucky enough to sell a home in April 2011. Let me be clear that I’m not saying that it’s wrong to publish one’s achievements, but as a seller it is important to find out more about the agent’s long term track record in the market, and not judge too quickly based on one line in a newspaper. So when does an agent’s ranking have any personal effect on you as a seller or buyer? Let’s say that you are a buyer: what is important to you? Most buyers want to find a great home at huge value and they want to be the first to know about it. They also want to be guided professionally, receive regular communication from their agent and to rely on educated answers to all of their questions. They want to be represented by a great negotiator. They want help with the mountain of paperwork, inspections and closing procedures. Buyers shouldn’t have to spend their time comparing the awards and accolades of many agents; they should really only have to worry about having confidence and peace of mind that they are working with someone who can handle all of the above efficiently and without costly mistakes.
Likewise, sellers expect a similar experience. They want their home sold in an expedient manner. They want it sold for as much money as obtainable with as few obstacles and hassles as possible. They need a strong negotiator. They want to know that their home is being promoted properly and to all of the best buyers possible. They want guidance and they want the truth. When choosing a Real Estate agent, selecting one with considerable experience can certainly curtail the many challenges that buyers and sellers are bound to face. Experience is the best training tool in any business. If you haven’t gone through a negative experience in the past, it is difficult to recognize and avoid it when it is headed your way. As mentioned earlier, I myself have laid claim to the popular “#1” line. Let me share my fine print . . . Last year I was ranked #1 at Shorewood Realtors. I received this award in recognition of the number of homes I had sold in 2010. Shorewood Realtors is a company that typically has between 400 and 450 licensed agents. What’s interesting is that I have been ranked #2 nearly every year since I joined the company back in the early 1990’s. Being a competitive person, it was a fun experience to finally pass up the #1 salesperson, however the #2 salesperson for 2010 had sold a higher total dollar volume, so effectively, they can claim that they were #1. Do you see how variable these “#1” terms can be? The bottom line is that what matters most as an agent is how well you take care of your client, not where you rank. That reason alone is why, almost 24 years ago, I elected to take the team approach to servicing my clients. With a strong team of professionals in place I am able to meet or even beat the expectations of our clients; no matter if we are representing some of the most elite clients, such as athletes and executives, or negotiating for builders and investors, or helping a new buyer with their first condo purchase.
Having a highly trained and experienced team allows us to provide unparalleled service to our clients. That being said, I mean no disrespect to agents who work on their own. As a matter of fact, I admire them for their ability to maintain their business and to keep more of their income to themselves, all the while managing to balance their lives between work and personal time. As with most agents there is such as thing as a personal life and there are things that come up that demand attention, whether it’s a child’s sporting event, a family wedding, or medical emergency. I have built a team that is interchangeable, so no matter what is happening in our personal lives there is always someone available to take care of our clients. The Ed Kaminsky Team is designed to leave me personally available to my clients during the most important parts of any transaction. That includes negotiating with other parties in the transaction, carefully reviewing contracts, expertly answering questions and having time to properly promote our client’s home to buyers, other agents, and our past clients. There are a lot of things that are necessary to run a professional Real Estate business that take excess amounts of time but can be handled by well trained team members. For example creating flyers, meeting pest control companies, delivering signs, maintaining a website, and installing lock boxes; they are all important but also take a lot of time. In addition to the above, there are three areas that a great team can help an agent best serve his or her clients.
Marketing and promotion of listings. Marketing coordinator, Deanna Whipp has been with the team for over 6 years and works a full time schedule aggressively promoting the inventory that Ed lists. Her marketing efforts have been recognized in many Real Estate association magazines and she has also helped the team win an award from the Los Angeles Business Journal for Excellence in Real Estate Marketing.
Closing and coordinating of escrows. The closing procedures and paperwork required in California today is recognized to be the most difficult in the country. Katie Schwartz has been with me for 11 years and her skills are truly second to none. Watching over the daily details of the paperwork and helping clients navigate the mountains of clauses and deadlines is something my clients have come to appreciate from Katie.
HIRE the BEST
Home searches for buyers. When buyers need to buy a home, our entire buyer staff goes to work seeking the perfect home to match with each buyer. Like most agents the M.L.S. is used to find homes for sale, but the advantage of working with our buyer’s team, is that they pursue other techniques to find properties that other agents may not have the manpower to investigate. This includes knocking doors in the neighborhood to where the buyers are looking and picking up the phone to call all homeowners in the same surrounding neighborhood to source homes not on the market. In the meantime, I am able to constantly network with area brokers to find out about additional homes coming soon to the market. In addition, I am able to call my list of thousands of past clients to see who may be moving soon, as well as check in with my sphere of influence within the sports world through our sister company, SportStar Relocation. SportStar Relocation is a nationwide company designed to help athletes transition in and out of their team city when they suddenly have to move. Without a great team it can be very challenging to fulfill all of the valid needs and expectations of today’s clients. From expertly navigating the sea of homes that are available, to properly analyzing the true value of a property, to getting homes sold quickly for top dollar, to sourcing the right home at the best price, it takes a team of skilled professionals. Whether it is a multimillion dollar estate or a small condo, buyers and sellers expect the job to be done expertly each and every time. In truth, sellers pay a lot of money for real estate services and they rightfully should expect to receive a service that is deserving of its cost. My team and I help over a hundred people buy and sell Real Estate each year. Find out what our past clients think of our service by visiting www.EdsHappyClients.com.

Mahogany with frosted glass cutouts make the front door functional and decorative, creating a statement piece that adds visual interest from the street as well as from the interior of the home.
Sweet P r a i r i e m e e t s B a l i i n th e H o l ly w o o d R i v i e r a
by Pamela Corante-Hansen
“
“When we were building the garage, people would park on the street and just stare. Men would drool,” says Andy. A veritable drive-in man cave, the garage’s discreet profile belies its epic proportions: 36 feet deep, 22 feet wide, 900 square feet.
“
Taking cues from Frank Lloyd Wright, Tomaro designed the home with a linear emphasis reminiscent of Wright’s classic Prairie School style, but with tropical touches such as hip roof design and extensive use of dark wood. The Balks own a home on Poipu Beach in Kauai, and a trip to Bali sealed Christine’s passion for the Indonesian aesthetic. “The emphasis was to make an open house that flows easily to the outside,” Tomaro
36
SouthBayDigs.com | 09.16.2011
says. “The doors telescope away and add a true indoor-outdoor feel. We live in an environment [that is ideal for] indooroutdoor living, so you almost inherently design the home that way.” Plans for the home were completed in four months, and the Balks attribute the successful execution to the fact that they stayed true to Tomaro’s design. The couple initially consulted with three other architects, but was not completely sold on the plans. Having once lived in a Manhattan Beach home designed by Tomaro, they decided to work with him on their new house. Tomaro incorporated some of their ideas into the plan, creating larger windows in the kitchen to maximize natural light and ocean vistas, and adding a bathroom easily accessible from the pool to allow current – and future – grandchildren to shower off before traipsing through the house. Construction was completed in 13 months. Andy and Christine were involved in the process, occasionally rolling up their sleeves and pitching in, as evidenced by an aerial photo of the home under construction, featuring Andy on the roof as it was being completed. Christine, a former apparel and merchandising stylist, oversaw the interior design on 4,100 square feet of living space. “I get a lot of inspiration from hotels,” Christine says. “Crazy places, not just fivestar properties.” The master bath is a subtle display of Christine’s affinity for day spas, with a shower floor made of smooth stones, and a wall clad in sleek travertine subway tile separating the shower from the bathtub. Christine jokes about her obsession with glass tile, which manifests itself in all four bathrooms. A basement bathroom boasts iridescent blue-green and golden glass tiles in the shower, providing an elegant foil to a distressed lighting fixture with an edgy, industrial vibe, equally suited for a 1940s army barracks or an underground nightclub. Christine sourced the fixture from a company in England. The pool bath dazzles with turquoise-blue and algae-colored glass tile set in a stylized wave pattern. Glass tile is nowhere to be found outside on the pool deck, however. Instead, subtle stippling highlighted with embedded shell gives the swimming pool a contemporary feel, its cerulean hue complementing the Pacific Ocean panorama that extends to Point Dume. The pool holds salt water, an effort to offset the effects of harsh chemicals on swimmers and the environment. Christine notes that her taste in pool tile errs on the side of understated. “With all those fleur-de-lis and patterns, one false move and it’s overwhelming,” she says. In keeping with her spa theme, the sage green ceramic tile evokes calm and tranquility. If peace and calm can be found in a kitchen, the Balks have mastered it. The eye is drawn to a simple yet refined backsplash of pearly white glass tile with an inlaid pineapple motif. A nod to the couple’s love for the island of Kauai, the design provides a sense of place without falling into cliché. White, prefinished custom cabinets from Canadian cabinetry firm Downsview provide ample space to stash kitchen appliances and essentials, yet avoid giving
off a storage-unit feel. The marble counter tops, pale jade in tone, display booking motifs and draw the lush greens of the outdoor landscaping into the home. Christine selected the lighting fixtures, three generous globes of clear glass suspended from the 11-foot high ceiling, adding a modern contrast to the traditional fixtures and flooring. Anchoring the home’s main level, wide-plank oak wood floors in a dark custom stain add a degree of warmth and help carry the Indonesian influence. With three dogs having full run of the house, the Balks chose a semi-distressed, flat finish. On this level, a long entryway provides a clear line of sight to the pool, drawing visitors directly from the statement piece of a front door to the pool deck with city, mountain and ocean vistas. The wood flooring extends from the entry to the three bedrooms, dining room, kitchen and living area. Downstairs in the basement, polished cement flooring gives a hip, warehouse-y energy to the couple’s work areas. Natural light illuminates an expansive office, with windows that provide enviable ocean views. A smaller studio is primed for creative work. The basement level offers access to the garage, and a quick jog up a short flight of stairs leads to a landing with an Alice-in-Wonderland-esque square door. Beyond the door, which one enters with the help of a folding chair, is the fabled 1,000 square-foot, fully finished storage area, in which an adult over 6 feet tall can stand without having to crouch. In addition to housing the water heater, central vac and cooling and security systems, there is more than enough space to stash seasonal items and household staples. Originally, the area was to be left unfinished, but the allure of having additional storage space inspired Andy to work with Tomaro and make it functional. But the space also holds an item that carries deep significance to the Balks. Suspended from a beam is a six-by-five foot tapa, or Polynesian textile made from the bark of a native tree. A gift to the Balks from the wife of the stonemason who worked on their Kauai home, the tapa features delicate stamped bird and plant motifs. “She made it when she was 15,” Andy says. “We became good friends with them, and they were surprised that we would go to their house.” A self-made businessman who left home at 15, he says, “I feel very fortunate, but in the end, we’re all the same. There’s no magic formula; you just have to treat people well.”
A lanai off the kitchen and dining area affords panoramic views of the Santa Monica mountains, South Bay shoreline and the cityscape. Landscaped terraces evoke the cantilevered surfaces present in some Frank Lloyd Wright homes. Landscaping by Southern California Landscape.
Surrounded by boxes on the first night in their custom Hollywood Riviera home, Andy and Christine Balk were treated to an unexpected bonus. A dazzling sunset over the Pacific and a movie-worthy view of the illuminated cityscape were enough to keep the television off for three nights. “And we actually talked to one another,” Andy quips. Married 34 years, the couple never imagined they would end up with ocean views and an expansive front lawn in one of the South Bay’s most coveted neighborhoods. Perched on a 14,200 square foot lot rising gently on a slope of mid-century modern dwellings, the Balks’ seaweed-green, metal-roofed house morphs harmoniously into the hillside, its low-profile facade ducking coyly behind a modest screen of gnarled pines that were planted when the neighborhood was first subdivided. As understated as the home is, the design takes full advantage of the trapezoid-shaped corner lot, allowing for an extravagant 1,000 square feet of near wrap-around storage space, ocean views from the basement and a garage deep and wide enough to contain the Balks’ RV. “When we were building the garage, people would park on the street and just stare. Men would drool,” says Andy. A veritable drive-in man cave, the garage’s discreet profile belies its epic proportions: 36 feet deep, 22 feet wide, 900 square feet. Indeed, architect Louie Tomaro and his clients shared a vision of honoring the neighborhood’s character, and the garage is just one example of how a modern design and floor plan can be seamlessly incorporated into an established subdivision.

In Real Estate…Time really is Money.
OUR MOST RECENT LISTING SOLD IN 5 DAYS!
Selling your Home? Let me show you how to realize Optimum Home Value Step 1: Intelligent Pricing. You gain maximum exposure and reach a greater total percentage of prospective buyers when you price your property at market value. If your home is listed at a price that is above market value, you will miss out on prospective buyers who would otherwise be prime candidates to purchase your home. Contrarily, if you list your home at a price that is below market value, you will ultimately sell for a price that is not the optimum value for your home.
Step 2: Time Value of Money A critical success factor when pricing your home is timing. A property attracts the most attention, excitement and interest from the real estate community and potential buyers when it is first listed on the market. If your home is priced improperly at the initial listing phase, or ‘peak interest period,’ your property may languish on the market. Ultimately, this may lead to a below market value sale price, or worse, no sale at all. Therefore, your home has the greatest probability for a ‘optimum value’ sale when it is new on the market and the price is reasonable established.
Step 3: Optimum Home Value = P x T Call me for a private consultation!
