In November 1913, Mr. Frank Vanderlip had acquired approx. 16,000 acres of the Rancho de los Palos Verdes. He had grand plans to develop the Palos Verdes Peninsula; however World War I curtailed his plans. In 1922, a real estate developer named E.G. Lewis acquired the Palos Verdes Project, which would constitute the future City of Palos Verdes Estates and part of the MIraleste area of the current day City of Rancho Palos Verdes.The community was called Palos Verdes Estates and had decreased in development area by one-fifth, from the original 16,000 acres to 3225 acres. Vanderlip held onto 13,000 acres in the southern portion of the peninsula for future development. Mr. Lewis was an entrepreneur and a visionary and was the founding father of two model cities, University City in Missouri (founded by Mr. Lewis in 1904 in conjunction with the 1904 World’s Fair) and Atascadero, California (founded as a utopian colony by Mr. Lewis in 1913). He was also a successful magazine publisher and investor where he made a fortune, but unfortunately later in his life disgruntled investors filed numerous lawsuits against him. Mr. Lewis had plans to raise $35 million to develop the property by syndicating interests to investors. Mr. Lewis, unfortunately had a checkered past and had been accused of fraud in several previous investment schemes, including oil wells, almond tree farming, and a magazine. On March 30, 1922, the Los Angeles Examiner published a telegram it had received: “Suggest you investigate E.G. Lewis before running any more of his adds(sic) if you honestly wish to protect your readers. In one set of circulars he holds out gigantic promises and in another set he sidesteps past due obligations to his thousands of old oil investors. In my opinion he is paying for his big Palos Verdes advertising campaign with money diverted from investments in his huge unsuccessful doodlebug oil promotion in Montana.” The cable was signed J.E. McDonald. His history with Lewis was unclear, but he appeared to be a previous victim. After Lewis’ schemes for Trust Indenture Notes met with distrust by The Title Insurance and Trust Company of Los Angeles in February 1923, a new real estate trust financed by some 4,000 investors was created, and the revived Palos Verdes Project was again under the financial management of Vanderlip. Mr. Lewis was sued for $20 million by previous investors and in 1925 he declared bankruptcy. In 1927, he was sentenced to six years in federal prison. He was paroled in 1931 but was sent back to prison for violating parole. Released again in 1935, he returned to Atascadero, where he spent the rest of his life as a penniless recluse and died in 1950. 4,229 early investors in the Palos Verdes Project meeting at the Los Angeles Philarmonic Auditorium

In Real Estate…Time really is Money.

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!

FOCUS ON THE SAND SECTION Manhattan Beach, CA - The Sand Section, located just south of Los Angeles, on one of the best beaches in the United States, is one of the most unique niche real estate markets in the country. From the oceanfront Strand properties, to the postage stamp sized multimillion dollar lots; from bungalows, to mini estates. A full lot is usually 2700 square feet but there are plenty of half lots; at 1350sf as well. This is not your Daddy’s back 40, considering that the lots are only 30 feet wide. Every style of Architecture has been built, designed, re-built, or re-invented. Homes are as close as 72 inches from each other and buyers will pay millions of dollars to live in them. Privacy is not likely on your priority list when you live here, but lifestyle--fresh air, ocean vistas, surfing, and walking to Sunday breakfast—most likely is. The Sand Section also appears to be one of the fastest growing second home markets with owners found right here in Manhattan Beach, to the Westside of LA, Arizona and beyond.

Although prices have seen some decline from the peak of the market, they are a far cry from the devastation in prices that have hit most of the Country’s popular living places; like other parts of California, Arizona, Nevada and Florida. It would have been difficult to protect any decrease in real estate equity in recent years, but the Sand Section sure has prevailed in equity protection even in the downturn. The evaluation of pricing is truly only capable by the local experts. You can move 50 feet to your left or right, and see a price increase (or decrease) of over $1,000,000 for what appears to be an identical property. What makes it so difficult to determine an accurate value? That old Real Estate adage . . . Location Location Location! Does the home have a view? Can that view be obstructed? Who was the architect? Who was the builder? Is it located East or West of Highland? Can you walk to Downtown easily? Can you hear traffic noise? Who is your neighbor? Will they likely build soon? Does the property face North or South? The list of questions can seem endless*,

but a professional who is well versed in the many nuances of the Sand Section can help maximize your profit when selling, or determine that diamond-in-the-rough, if buying. No matter what your pleasure is, as long as your budget is over a million dollars (with a few exceptions) and you like neighbors, the Sand Section is one of the greatest living experiences in the world. It is truly like being on vacation 365 days a year. It’s a place where you can’t tell the difference between a “dot com billionaire,” a first class athlete or a lucky, early retiree. The dress code is simple: flip flops, t-shirts, a tan and a smile. Neighbors throw a friendly wave at each other as they share a glance at the local coffee stop. This is world-class living at its finest: the Sand Section of Manhattan Beach, California. For an insider’s scoop of what hot new property is coming to the Sand Section market, call Ed Kaminsky. For a list of all questions that help determine how to value your Sand Section property visit www.ItzSold.com

edondo Pier

by quinn roberts

It has been called everything from the ‘Endless Pier’ to the ‘Horseshoe Pier’, yet even through all of the destruction and development, which has seen it change shape seven time, the Redondo Beach Pier has remained a focal point in the community for over 100 years. The pier has become a place where people, no matter the decade, can come to relax and feel the sun shine across their face and the wind streak through their hair. Residents and tourists, young and old, have also been able to cast their fishing lines, get a bite to eat, and go shopping.

Fun Facts The pier has been a prime filming location for two popular TV series’, ‘The O.C.’ from 2003-2007 and ‘Riptide’ from 1984-1986. The 1993 pier reconstruction plan was to initially include a carousel, wax museum, aquarium and at least three new restaurants.

Wharf No. 2- 1895-1920 – Constructed in the shape of a Y, with one side divided for railroad tracks and the other for fishermen and tourists, it was greatly damaged in 1919 by a storm and later torn down for safety reasons.

Endless/Pleasure Pier- 1916-1928- Built by George W. Harding, the pier had two 450 foot long legs that formed into the shape of a V. Damaged by a storm in 1919, it was later condemned. Monstad Pier- 1925-Present- Built by Captain Hans. C Monstad with the idea of it being used for fishing and boating, the pier was originally 300 feet long. In 1983, it was connected to the central platform of the Horseshoe Pier. Horseshoe Pier- 1929-1988- A wooden pier built after the demolition of the Endless/Pleasure Pier, it was later battered by two winter storms and then burned to the waterline in 1988 due to an electrical short circuit.

3. Taking an afternoon walk along the pier in their best attire, many people would come for the numerous attractions along the waterfront, including the 30 cent fish dinners and the Mandarin Ballroom. 4. Taken in the early 1900’s, the pier was bustling with cargo ships. Also in the background is the popular tent city, where people would rent a tent with a wooden floor and light bulb for $1 a night. 5. Before the Santa Monica Pier amusements, there was the ‘Lightning Racer’ in Redondo Beach. Built in 1913, with local children calling it their own pet monster, it had more than a mile of track that had many swoops and dips. 6. With bamboo fishing poles as high as some buildings, fishing on the pier became a popular way to spend one’s time, whether by catching fish or just the sunset.

It began with the sale of more than 400 acres of beachfront land by the Dominguez Estate Company for $12,000. land, the Vicente Submarine Valley was
