When Brad and I moved to Long Beach in 1996, we looked throughout Orange County and Los Angeles before deciding this was where we wanted to put down roots. We fell in love with the city's diverse neighborhoods, architectural character, coastal lifestyle, and value—and those same qualities continue to attract buyers today.

In my latest blog, I share some of the reasons Long Beach remains one of Southern California's most desirable places to call home.

I still remember buying our first home and how scary it was. The process was anything but smooth and we lacked a skilled guide, which makes all the difference in the world. (We ended up working with a friend who was new in the business. We almost lost out on the house and we did lose the friendship.)

If you're considering a home purchase, here's an overview to get you started. (Cut and paste link below - or visit our blog.. link in bio.) To put yourself in the strongest position as a homebuyer, there's no substitute for a skilled real estate agent by your side. They will help craft a strategy and walk you through the process.

One of the biggest misconceptions we hear from sellers: “I need to move out before I list my home.”

In our latest blog post, we cover:
• When professional staging is worth it
• 5 simple, budget-friendly ways to improve how your home shows
• Real examples of small changes that make a big difference
