endre barath bekrshire hathaway beverly hills realtor: How expensive is it to build a home in the Greater Los Angeles area....
- 09/22/23 09:24 PM
Welcome to part 3 of 3 of my vacant land series posts. I do hope you enjoyed them so far. In case you missed them, I will put a link to the previous 2 at the bottom of this post. While building a home may seem like an economic alternative to buying a home in the greater Los Angeles area, one need be aware that there are many factors and costs involved with that alternative. Often, I'm asked about the price range potential builders may face when it comes to building a home on vacant land. Depending on the steepness or grading of the

Having the right tools is critical not just in real estate but in cooking as well.... Tonight's meal was interrupted with a few technical issues, nothing that I could not overcome thanks to having the right tools. Well, the Pizza Stone cracked in the middle of my baking.... Keep in mind my meal was inspired by Debe Maxwell, CRS about the Maryland Cauliflower Crabcake Pizza Recipe. Since Diane loves Crabcakes from Maryland thought this would be a great way to finish up her birthday vacation. Anyway, as you can see the pizza stone decided to retire tonight:) The prepping took a bit longer,

endre barath bekrshire hathaway beverly hills realtor: The countdown has started Friday for Diane's Birthday...
- 09/09/23 10:29 PM
The countdown has started Friday for Diane's Birthday... she started receiving gifts in the mail. I figured I would start it early too. Now with that said the package from Shari's Berries arrived. Gratefully I also ordered different flavors of Pretzels she is more into that than chocolate covered Strawberries. Needless to say, we needed to have the formal celebration and I did not want to order a cake. Oh well, so we have been having one Strawberry after dinner. Lesson learned stick with cupcakes and pretzels:) Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments. If you are

endre barath bekrshire hathaway beverly hills realtor: I made a Clam Corn Chowder! Have you ever made one like this?
- 09/02/23 11:00 PM
I made a Clam Corn Chowder! Have you ever made one like this? In all fairness I saw a recipe on the interned about a creamy Corn and Clam Chowder ..... and after I read the recipe... I just said Hmm not a good idea. Nevertheless, it gave me the inspiration to make my version. I reached out to one of my favorite Chef's cookbooks: 50 Chowders ... by Jasper White I looked at about five or six of his various recipes and based on that I created my own. The result was great and Diane who is one of my harshest critics

Our new favorite Seafood Restaurant: Saltie Girl... Diane and I went there about a month or so ago and loved it. East Coast Gourmet Seafood Restaurant in Los Angeles on the Sunset Strip. Literally on Sunset Blvd. The first time we tried to pick a few items and we knew we needed to come back and try some more meals on the menu. Well, we went and go figure we still could not eat all what we were intrigued about. Now with that said there is another trip scheduled to have lunch at https://www.saltiegirl.com/ Check out the website the food and the service

Just Sold: 2152 Groveland Dr Los Angeles CA 90046 I am thrilled for the seller; this land was in escrow with the first buyer who flaked.... or may I say changed directions, I had a hard time to get the Earnest Money Deposit into Escrow and it was even harder to get the Cancellation Document signed.... Now with that said I was thrilled to have a backup buyer in place, the second buyer performed!! Remarks : Build your dream home with panoramic breathtaking views. Surrounded by multimillion dollar homes, the utilities are in the street, all you need to do is connect to them.

Wordless Wednesdays: Just curious what your thoughts are?... is this a way to market and get offers on your client's property? Now just let me add this and you tell me what you think? Now this all seems OK until I get an email from the listing agent who has a license in about five states..... The seller has notified me that the reserve price was not met during the auction. They are extending an opportunity to place a highest and best offer. Please keep in mind that the list price is $1,195,900. The undisclosed reserve price is usually very close to the list price. Your

endre barath bekrshire hathaway beverly hills realtor: Are you familiar with the Wounded Warrior Project?...
- 06/04/23 02:12 PM
Are you familiar with the Wounded Warrior Project? As a very brief synopsis, Charity Navigator rates this organization at a 97% for transparency and 89% for financial handling. No less than 70% of the financial donations go directly to the Wounded Warriors in one form or another. I chose to donate to this organization last year when a veteran relative of Diane's passed away suddenly last year. We gave a generous donation under my name, and they have been sending me gentle gifts ever since. Earlier last week, the Wounded Warrior Project sent me a very touching letter that accompanied a Challenge

Friday Night Appetizer: are you ready for the main course? Well, I thought it was time to make another nice meal.... I should post about yesterday's dinner but instead let me tease you about tonight's dinner. I find that an Appetizer is crucial to set the stage for a good meal and a good mood. So, with that said we had what Bostonians call Steamers and the rest of the country calls them clams as an Appetizer. Yes, I took the trouble and ordered it from James Hook of Boston, MA not bought locally... clearly it was worth the shipment and yes, I ordered

endre barath bekrshire hathaway beverly hills realtor: Do you put up For Sale signs? I do when I find it benefits the sale...
- 05/08/23 09:13 PM
A potential client recently posed this question to me: Do you put up For Sale signs? I told him "Yes" and the reasons being that it potentially attracts people who happen to be driving by not even thinking that there was something for sale, and at the same time, it gets my name out there - buyers and sellers see my signs (hence, name) everywhere, so it generates more business for me as well. A dual benefit. Now with that said, there are certain places where I will not put up For Sale signs because I have come to know the neighborhoods and
