ON THE COVER
PUBLISHER’S MUSE
Meet me at the Lighthouse Cafe The year was 1990, the summer I graduated college and packed up my car and moved to Hermosa Beach. The sun, surf and beach vibe was a dream come true for a twenty two year old looking to start his post college life. It was a different Hermosa then – my friends and I would hang out and watch bands at the Lighthouse Café, grab schooners at the HBYC, drop into the Poop Deck after a day at the beach, listen to DJ Roy at BBC (upstairs at Besties) and always be cruising the Strand…those were the days!
“I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, ‘The Beatles did’.” - Kurt Vonnegut (1922 - 2007), Timequake, 1997
In this issue we SPOTLIGHT HERMOSA BEACH and deep dive the local real estate scene. We pulled together some interesting history, fun facts and tons of great real estate information on each ‘micro neighborhood’ that comprises Hermosa Beach. Enjoy starting on page 49. This issue’s FRONT COVER HOME is an impressive South Manhattan Beach Walk Street home designed by Doug Leach with dreamy North facing views of the Pier. Offered by Lauren Forbes and John Corrales, Coldwell Banker Previews International. Check out the details starting on page 22. Be sure to check out this issue’s HOME OF THE WEEK on page 21 – this exquisite customer designer walkstreet Manhattan Beach residence exemplifies the Southern California Luxury Beach Lifestyle and is offered by Brett Zebrowski, Palm Realty Boutique. Preview the home in 1080HD on our Youtube channel at www.youtube.com/SouthBayDigs. The FishBar in El Porto is this issue’s LOCAL NUGGETS – learn why they’re fanatical about fresh seafood starting on page 62.
UNDER THE MANHATTAN BEACH SUN The first impression is, well, impressive. With approximately 4,100 square feet, this property accommodates the most versatile of lifestyles. The main house features three bedrooms plus an office and a den with big-time southern ocean views down the gently sloped South Manhattan walk street and a dreamy north facing view of the Manhattan Beach Pier. This home is well-connected throughout with a 3-stop elevator, lower media salon, walk street patio, view balconies and the rich ensemble of high-end finishes with a reserved luxury. The upper floor living space is intoxicating--with high ceilings, huge windows and streaming light from every direction. Each bedroom has its own bath and with the extra three quarter bath, the main home can be easily converted to a four or even five bedroom. The guest quarters are dazzling and create the perfect retreat for family, guests, and possibly tenants or travelers if you chose to utilize it as a long term or vacation rental. The pristine unit has top of the line amenities including stainless appliances, in room laundry, private deck and a one car garage. This property also features 2 car parking for the main home (four garage possible) and an immaculate home gym. This inspired Doug Leach designed and Kim Komick built residence with the tone and texture of a genuine Mediterranean by the beach should not be missed!

SHORT SALES
DEBUNKED A FEW TOP MYTHS MYTH #5: SHORT SALES TAKE MONTHS (AND MONTHS) TO CLOSE.
DEBUNKED: The short sale processes must be learned. Once mastered, it may not be uncommon to close a short sale in 30 days. However, certain idiosyncrasies may slow the process and each lender presents their own unique set of specific challenges. No two short sale transactions are identical.
MYTH #6: DAMAGE TO THE HOMEOWNER’S CREDIT STANDING IS COMPARABLE IN A SHORT SALE AND A FORECLOSURE.
DEBUNKED: In many cases, credit repercussions and deficiency protections are more damaging with a foreclosure. Short sale transactions can often lead to faster financial recovery for the homeowner and should be carefully considered. (NOTE: IF THE HOMEOWNER MISSED NO MORTGAGE
1027 BOUNDARY PLACE M A N H A T T A N
PAYMENTS, THEY MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO FINANCE THE PURCHASE OF A HOME IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING A SHORT SALE TRANSACTION. )
B E A C H
prestigious manhattan beach hill section manor
MYTH #7: FOLLOWING A SHORT SALE, THE HOMEOWNER WILL BE INELIGIBLE TO PURCHASE ANOTHER PROPERTY FOR THE NEXT 5-7 YEARS.
DEBUNKED: Not true. Using conventional lending guidelines, consumers may obtain a Fannie Mae backed mortgage a short 24 months after the close of their short sale.

W H AT T H E H E C K I S A “ P O C K E T L I S T I N G ” ?
Let me tell you about my special “pocket listing”. Let’s first start by saying it is the hot topic du jour... Yes, everyone is talking about them, but what are pocket listings? First of all we need to start at the beginning and talk about a “Listing”. A “Listing” in terms of Real Estate is a signed agreement between a Real Estate Broker and the owner of a property. The “Listing Agreement” states that the Broker has been employed to market and sell a property at a certain
Hey Mr. Buyer, I heard there is a pocket listing over at 123 Main street, do you wanna see it?
price and at a certain commission for a specific time period. If the Broker performs per the contract he is entitled to get paid the agreed amount of commission upon the close of a successful escrow. A pocket listing can mean many things. For the most part it means that a particular home is being offered for sale but is not being promoted on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) nor is it likely being advertised in most preferred Real Estate media outlets. It is somewhat of a secret offering of a
property for sale. This is a property that is “leaked” quietly into the marketplace, usually by word of mouth. A pocket listing could be known by as little as 1 or 2 people to as many as an entire community. It is at the complete discretion of the person who knows about it to pass along the information. In simple terms it means that an owner of a property has told someone else, usually a licensed Real Estate professional, that they want to sell their home and it’s OK to tell others about it. There may or may not
PROS AND CONS There are truly a dozen or more reasons why sellers choose to remain a “pocket listing”, but it is the pros and cons for buyers and sellers that has the Manhattan Beach marketplace in a buzz today.
PROS FOR A BUYER

PULL OUT TO KEEP INSERT
be a written agreement to do so. It could simply be someone saying “Hey, if you bring me an offer of 2 million dollars I will sell my home”. If a Real Estate agent heard that what should they do? Well, if they are proactive, they try to find a buyer. They either check within their own personal pool of buyers or they check with other agents that they know to see if they have a buyer. They tell the agent they know that “I now have a “pocket listing” at 123 Main Street, and if you bring me an offer of 2 Million dollars we can get the deal done.”
Excuse me sir, you look like a real estate agent, I am a cash buyer Do you have any pocket listings? If so I will buy it.
As stated previously it is highly possible that there is no written agreement between the owner of the property and the person saying they have a pocket listing. It is also possible, however, that the owner of the property actually signed a valid Listing Agreement but told the agent they do not want the property publicized in the traditional manner. They do not want it on the MLS, they do not want it advertised, and they do not want any open houses. “You can sell the property, you can show the property; just don’t tell the world about it.”
common questions:
Why would a seller chose to use the pocket listing method? The reasons are endless. They may have very little motivation to sell the home but if you bring them a great price they would sell it. They could be very private and prefer that the world doesn’t know they are selling. They may not have the home prepared for viewings but they are OK if someone brings them an offer. They know they want to sell at a date in the near future and do not think it’s necessary to put it on the market until that date but would be open to receiving an offer early provided the buyer was willing to wait to close and move in.
Top South Bay Real Estate Agent
How do you find pocket listings if you are a buyer? The best short cut to these listings is through the most prominent and reputable agents in the marketplace. Real Estate agents who carry pocket listings usually only share them with agents they know and trust. “What should I ask before submitting an offer on a pocket listing?” The most important question to ask is, “Do you know if the seller has signed a valid listing agreement to sell this home?” If the answer is no, it’s OK to go look at the home but certainly be aware that it is legal for a seller to change their mind, raise their price or do things that can completely frustrate you.
In a changing Real Estate market where inventory is tight and buyer activity has increased, it’s important to know about the homes that are for sale both publicly and privately. If you find yourself in a situation that is unfamiliar, seek out professional help (whether it is a Real Estate professional or legal counsel) for sound advice.

From Sand Dunes to Surfers Walk of Fame written By Denise Kano Hermosa Beach came about in 1907 when a 1500acre tract of ten-mile ocean frontage of Rancho Sausal Redondo (originally part of the 1784 Rancho San Pedro Spanish land grant) was purchased at $35 per acre. According to history, real estate developers called the new development “Hermosa”, although there is no known record of any one person coming up with the name. Imagine that at that time there was no such thing as Manhattan Beach, and nearby Redondo Beach was primarily a bustling seaport. Hermosa offered two miles of beautiful, sandy beach, but that was about all it had, and the sparse-looking sand dunes gave many early settlers the feeling of being “40 miles from nowhere.” The Santa Fe Railway was reportedly Hermosa’s only link to civilization, which only added to the feeling of isolation. Ten short years later, however, Hermosa consisted of 900 residents, a modest downtown business section, one church, and two schools with a total enrollment of more than 100 students. Hermosa was growing fast, thanks to the foresight of early developers. The concrete pier built in 1915 was unique in that it featured a decorative, arched building at the pier entrance which hosted the city library, chamber of

In order to honor the pioneers of surfing, the Surfers Walk of Fame was established in 2003 in which decorative plaques adorn the pier. Another annual event specific to Hermosa is the Surf Festival, which features events including the classic Charlie Saikley Volleyball Tournament, International Body Surfing Championship, and of course, Surfing Championships. The 2012 Surf Festival will be held from July 31 to August 5. For more information, go to www.surffestival.org.

Aerospace workers brought home plenty of innovative, lightweight materials. Enterprising surfers experimented and figured out how to make their surfboards lighter, and soon a new, exciting surf industry was created. There was such an explosion in the popularity of surfing, and a demand for the latest in lightweight surfboards, that at one time the South

And after a year, we have exceeded our expectations and everyone else’s.” It has been Jordan’s goal since the first day FishBar opened to have not only have the freshest seafood, but to deliver the best value to customers. On the phone with vendors every week, Jordan gets seafood from across the globe, looking for the best seasonal seafood. “We strive to be very competitive,” Jordan said. “We take serious pride in how fresh our seafood is. We are fanatical about it. We just wanna pass that along to the customer.”

Getting second place in a national contest, The FishBar bloody mary ( the bar’s #1 selling drink) could literally be considered a meal in itself, with a strip of applewood smoked bacon, one shrimp and pickled asparagus in every glass. “We are on the 30-year plan,” manager Simeon Moses said. “We don’t want to be here today and gone tomorrow. We want to be here for the locals for the next 30 years. We want to provide good food and service and keep people coming back year after year.”

TOTAL TRANSPARENC Y With the rates that we offer, there is nothing to hide. We provide our clients honest answers, sound advice and exclusive programs.
Recent Client Testimonial: “Regan was referred to me by a family member and I have been through many real-estate purchase and refinance transactions over the years. Working with Regan was a no nonsense, clear and efficient experience. He responds to e-mail questions promptly and communicates exactly what is required for the “next” step. He accurately represented everything that would happen during our transaction and there were no surprises. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.” - Garry
Welcome to Watermark: Transparency and solutions are the foundation of my success, and I promise both to each and every client. While other lenders focus on feel good services, I focus on the financing. In an industry that hasn’t had a great reputation over the past few years, I take pride in knowing that I’ve gained the trust and respect of my clients. In today’s market the most important thing when obtaining a home loan is the mortgage professional you work with and the resources that they have at their disposal. Whether you have a simple conventional purchase, or a complex Jumbo transaction, feel free to call me at anytime and find out why Watermark is right for you.
