TONY’S BLOG For as many years as I can remember my father has been blaming the media for our social problems and where I tend to disagree with him on several things, I’ve come embraced this wisdom. The news told us we’ve got more economical problems ahead, more illnesses to be discovered, more frequent violence to expect, and global warming is making it impossible to be in the sun without sunscreen... In fact, if you really break it down to how frequently we are exposed to our news from the various resources, our lives are entirely too stress filled so I’ve officially renamed CNN in our home to “Dopamine Cancer”. Sure the news applies to all of us but I’ve found how you process this data is pivotal to your inner happiness and ultimately your heath. Exercise, helping others, interacting with kids, dancing, being with friends, all produce happiness and our intake requirements vary from person to person. Let’s talk about Real Estate Happiness. Many homeowners express fear about their home’s valuation and many home Buyers express concern about overpaying - irony right? Inventory levels continue to be tight and we’ve become a community loaded with people looking to make a change of residence and being entirely too influenced by fears which are no more than an inaccurate perception. I suggest the healthier approach... make an appointment with your real estate professional, learn more about your ability to obtain a loan, and get out to to see homes for sale and let your naturally produced happy dopamine help direct you to a happier place (literally and figuratively!) There is nothing more rewarding in my business than hearing from past clients about how thankful they are they made the decision to move when they did - a statement driven by their emotions and I call that Happiness!

SOUTH BAY HISTORY TIDBITS MASTHEAD

THE RED CAR LINE BY MAUREEN MEGOWAN / RE/MAX ESTATE PROPERTIES

PUBLISHER Warren J Dow

CREATIVE DIRECTOR Amanda Nelson-Sinagra

Henry Huntington was a very major real estate developer and public utility system tycoon in southern California. In 1901 Huntington formed the Pacific Electric Railway (“PE”) to serve his real estate development aims in the Los Angeles area. The largest of the suburban electric railways operating out of downtown Los Angeles in the early 1900s was not Huntington’s Pacific

Electric but the Los Angeles Pacific (“LAP”). The heads of LAP also had extensive real estate development projects in Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Playa del Rey and Hollywood. This very extensive railway ran streetcar lines out through Hollywood and suburban trolley lines to Santa Monica, Brentwood, and down the coast to Redondo Beach in what was called the “balloon route”.

SENIOR STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Paul Jonason

In 1906 Edward Harriman, head of the Southern Pacific Railroad, gained control of the Los Angeles Pacific, and finally in 1910 he acquired Huntington’s PE, and in 1911 merged the two into Pacific Electric. At that time, all of the transit cars were painted red, leading to the moniker “red car line”.

Beach operated by PE prior to World War II, the other running from LA through Gardena and Torrance. The route that had the higher ridership in the ‘30s was the more scenic route down the coast from Playa Del Rey. This route led along the ocean from Playa del Rey through Manhattan Beach, then veering inland a bit through Hermosa Beach and ending

in Redondo Beach. The developers of Palos Verdes in the early 1920’s planned for the extension of the red car line into the Peninsula and provided wide median strips in Valmonte and Lunada Bay to accommodate the red car lines. One of the major problems with PE as a passenger railway was that when developers originally invested in the trolley lines to serve their subdivisions, they were interested in providing only the minimum facilities they needed in order to sell real estate, and they were not intended to make money providing passenger service. And in fact the PE passenger operations as a whole never made a profit. The Southern Pacific was willing to accept the perennial operating losses of PE because SP made quite a bit of money off the freight business that was fed to SP by PE. In the ‘20s to ‘50s era, PE was the main hauler of freight to and from the combined ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. The red car line also could never be called “rapid transit”, as it had to slog its way through surface street traffic. They were also very overcrowded. The trip from downtown Los Angeles to Redondo Beach took well over an hour. The increased ownership

and convenience of the automobile spelled the demise of the Red Car. The red car line suffered severe operating losses throughout the 1930’s and were slowly replaced by bus service through the 1940’s. The

YOUR TOP NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS: o

Spend more time with family and friends:

It’s important for you and your loved ones to have a warm space to make memories in together. If you’re not 100% satisified with your current living situation, maybe it’s time to consider a move. Home is where the heart is, so love where you live!

o

Quit smoking:

If you’re renting, you are burning money. Monthly rents and mortgage payments are often similar in price, so why write a check to your landlord every month? Home ownership is one of the surest paths to long-term wealth, so stop throwing your money on the fire and instead make an investment in yourself.

o

Lose weight:

It’s a great time to sell. Inventory is low and there are eager, qualified buyers everywhere. Multiple offers are common. Sellers are seeing excellent activity and returns. Call us for a free valuation of your home; we think you’ll like what you hear!

o

Learn something new:

The real estate market is hot right now. Both buyers and sellers are experiencing historically good conditions. Whatever your goal is - buying, selling, or leasing let us update and educate you on market conditions, inventory and activity.

o

Get organized:

A local, dedicated agent can provide you with the answers and direction needed to make 2013 your most prosperous year yet. Don’t wait: call us today to start your year right!

Wishing you a fantastic 2013!

Look at the descriptive statistics where you may notice the homes being PALOS VERDES ESTATES 90274 listed are larger and younger than they have been in the past.

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: “When we bought our first house in 2011, the process was overwhelming. But the one shining light in the process was Regan. Our realtor promised us that Regan would make the financial part of the deal easy, and that was definitely true. He acted as a guide through the whole process, and was always there to answer our questions. Regan’s support continued well past the point when our house was purchased. Over a year later, he contacted us to explain a new program that could benefit us and once again, he made the process quick and painless.You won’t find anyone more enjoyable to work with, and we will continue to recommend Regan to anyone we can.”

Matt and Tara

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.
