But the prices have I’m sure most in awe as 3 of them sold over $1 million dollars. And the rest, well….they pulled in their weight as well I must say. Good job WEA gang.

Read add’l news from Hollywood Reporter & CurbedLA
Now that Spring is in the air and home sales tend to pick up, it’s always a good time for a nice reminder on how to be safe during open houses. And I especially like when we get these reminders when they are not following some terrible tragedy.
This article in the LA times Business section points out to both Agents and Sellers alike why knowing simple helpful tips can keep you from becoming a victim. A smart read.
These fashion forward “stables” are quite the attraction in Atwater Village!
Curbed LA’s Mews news tells us they opened their doors back in February. One would imagine that if they are selling, the perception would be that their “Green” attributes live up to today’s standards.
Mews solar powered and abundance of light homes certainly feeds the Eco-friendly buyer. But hot water tanks and non dual-flush toilets were a sure miss. “Green?” Or “Green-light?”
