Woke up and saw the clouds float past the moon through our bathroom skylight.

It’s incredible how beautiful nature is. Had to take a moment to enjoy it. 🩷

Do you even just open a window or door and listen to the rain? So relaxing…. 🩷

This gorgeous 1960 Midcentury built by John O’Keefe is beautiful on sunny days but truly truly cozy in a rainy or cold day.

Post & beam perfection in Alhambra ✨

The O’Keefe Residence, a true 1960 midcentury modern and original model home for Annwood Terrace, sits on a rare nearly quarter-acre lot at the end of a private road with just one adjoining neighbor.

Wood ceilings, solid oak floors, and an open-concept layout create that warm, architectural feel we all love. Thoughtfully updated with a renovated kitchen (quartz terrazzo counters + custom wood shelving), refreshed baths, upgraded systems, and solar (paid at closing).

Outside: breezeblock charm, mature lemon, guava, kumquat & passionfruit trees, and space to garden, entertain, or expand.

Moments from Main Street, Blossom Market Hall, and the best of Alhambra, San Gabriel, Pasadena & DTLA.

2016 was a simpler time.

The world seemed optimistic and full of promise. Especially for me! 2016 was my first year in real estate - I had just gotten my real estate license.

I had left the tech world behind, and wanted a fresh start. I was passionate about design and already sent everyone around me online real estate listings - it was time to make it official! One of my bffs had a terrible experience trying to buy a house earlier that year, and I felt like I could make a difference.

In 2016, real estate felt like it was more expensive than ever! Was it? Let’s take a look at pricing at that time.

And while that Rebecca Minkoff “it” purse (you know the one!) has aged and lost value, that house bought in 2016 has just gotten more valuable.

The real lesson here is that the best time to buy was 10 years ago. The next best time is today. Don’t look back 10 years from now and kick yourself that you didn’t buy a home!

Agents, can you identify the device at the end? 😝

Including a few personal photos :
We were renovating a new house for mom to move here from Canada, I helped one of my other bffs buy her Art deco dream home (thank you ), my little one started preschool. We had lost one of our beloved dogs, Chili. We picked up a foster dog from the South LA shelter in his honor. We got Teddy the medical help he needed. And after trying to adopt him out for months, he ended up joining our family. 🩷

Almost every buyer asks us for a “walkable” neighborhood - meaning walkable to local businesses. We gain and keep walkable businesses in neighborhoods by spending money there! 💵

This list is absolutely not comprehensive, and we’re sure that we will be sad to have missed some of our favorites. And we will be excited to learn about new favorites - what are yours?

And if you are pulling back on spending right now - we understand! We encourage you to support your local businesses in non-monetary ways - share and like their posts, comment on their posts, post a photo of their business or products, and leave a positive review for them. Every little bit helps!
