TONYS BLOG
Both my wife and I have family in Italy and were just completing our decision to go visit them next summer since the last theyve seen of us my wife was 4 months pregnant with our first child (now our kids are 4 & 18 months - so its been a while). I like to describe the Italian culture as being a completely romantic lifestyle with very simple old world vocation where most of the residents only pay taxes at the cash registers (or select cash registers if you will). And with the recent election results here, there is an overwhelming sentiment amongst the people in my sphere that 2013 is to be the year they completely maximize their tax offsets since the definition of paying your fair share is absolutely divided. Smart if you think about it and really smart if youre making your real estate portfolio the primary vehicle to protect your wealth in the short term.

eREAL ESTATE CORP ANNOUNCES

GRAND OPENING OF MANHATTAN BEACH OFFICE!
WELCOME UNI THE NEWEST eREAL ESTATE MEMBER
Originally, I joined Re/Max Realty back in 1989 because I loved the red, white and blue colors - to me it represented the American dream. After spending 16 years as a Hall of Fame and Chairmans Club Top Producer, I moved to Shorewood Realtors in 2006. I will truly miss my Shorewood family; there are a lot of great agents and friends there, so it was a tough decision to leave that office. However, I am looking forward to working together and continuing our wonderful friendships and business. Recently, I decided that I needed to enlarge my territory and vision. I know how hard we all work, but we have to adjust to changing times and changing markets. I have decided to help my fellow agents, to provide them with leads and their success will be my success. Joining and partnering with eReal Estate Corp with Dean and Jan Thomas is another blessing on this path. They have the most advanced technology in real estate today. I decided to team the right energy with this cutting edge technology so that Im able to produce the best results for my clients. I am very excited about our new downtown Manhattan Beach location. We will be more exposed and more available to the public. I look forward to working together with our neighboring real estate firms to bring the best possible services to the Beach Cities. I am thankful for all the support and blessings that I have been given by my clients, colleagues, friends and family. I look forward to continuing to contribute to this community, our Manhattan Beach schools, churches and of course to Childrens Hospital. Our contributions to the local economy will continue to drive our market upward. It is important to me to protect the real estate investments of all my clients, for my family, friends and for all of America. I came to the United States for the American dream and I am so proud to be American. Everyday it is a part of my morning prayer that our country be blessed by God, that our community and our children all be blessed. Thank you for all your continued support and love.

HISTORY OF REDONDO BEACH

BY MAUREEN MEGOWAN / RE/MAX ESTATE PROPERTIES
In 1854, a natural salt lake located between Pacific and Francesca Avenues, at the northern end
publiSher Warren J dow Digital MeDia SpeCialiSt Kieron mcKay
Creative DireCtor amanda nelson-Sinagra DeSign | proDuCtion Kristen dawe
of Redondo Beach - just outside of Hermosa Beach, known as the Old Salt Lake was sold to Henry Allenson and William Johnson. This sale precipitated the establishment of Pacific Salt Works, which extracted and sold salt and operated through approx. 1908. When Don Miguel Dominquez died in 1882, he left the Rancho San Pedro to his six daughters. Three of his daughters, Susana, Guadalupe, and Maria de Los Reyes Dominguez, inherited portions of the estate, each including individual sections collectively known as the Ocean Tract. In 1890, Susana Dominquez married Gregorio Del Amo y Gonzalez. Del Amo Boulevard is named after this family. In 1889 this coastal tract of 433 acres was sold to the Redondo Beach Improvement Company, founded by Robert Thompson and John Ainsworth, for $12,000. They promoted, developed, and sold land that eventually became the nucleus of the city of Redondo Beach. On April 18, 1892, Redondo voters adopted city-hood by a vote of 177-10. The first City Hall was built in 1908 at Benita and Emerald Street. The name of the city is Spanish for round, which either refers to the half-round street pattern of the original town site, or the adjacent Rancho Sausal Redondo (Ranch of the Round Clump of Willows), which was just north of the city. The City was becoming The Place for tourists. Railroads and steamships brought people by the thousands, not to mention freight loads of oil and lumber. At this time, Redondo was the first port of Los Angeles County. Steamers from the Pacific Steamship Company stopped at Redondo four times a week, at one of its three piers, as part of regular runs between San Francisco and San Diego. The Redondo Railway Company and the Santa Fe Railroad left Los Angeles daily for Redondo at regular intervals. Eventually the City was served by Henry Huntingtons Big Red Electric Cars. Redondos popularity began a slow decline when San Pedro Harbor started to take shape in 1899. By 1912, the Pacific Steamship Company stopped calling at Redondo altogether. Lumber schooners still used Pier No. 3 at Topaz Street until the railroad pulled out in 1926. Because of prohibition, the $250,000 Hotel Redondo closed its doors and in 1925 was sold for scrap lumber - the price was $300. Storms have been an ever-present danger to the Citys piers. They have been washed out, then rebuilt, then washed out again. Redondos first breakwater was built in 1939 and although the cost was more than $500,000, it provided only limited protection. Because of the way it was constructed, wave action and the normal movement of the beach sand was altered. Following every storm, sand accumulated north of the breakwater. Eventually the beach area between Diamond and Beryl Streets was obliterated. A raging storm in 1953 caused extensive damage not only to the breakwater, but to City streets and private property. Redondos population boomed in the 1950s and 1960s. In 1890, the population was 668; in 1940

We have really taken advantage of What a gas fireplaCe Can do, healy said. We can control the flame and what it does, helping make each fireplace unique and beautiful and the flame into an art form.
spark
Written By: Quin n r o B ertS

On a cold fall or winter night, nothing is better than curling up next to a warm fire. Just ask Spark modern fires co-founder tom healy. the flame is elemental and captivating. people want to enjoy a fireplaces warmth and ambiance, healy said. its Sparks goal to celebrate the flame by creating dynamic fireplaces. launching in 2005 at new york citys international contemporary furniture fair, the company introduced its innovative fire ribbon gas fireplace, and has grown ever since. Sparks linear Burner System can be indoors or outdoors and is anywhere from two feet to 10 feet in length with one-sided, two-sided or even 360-degree fire views. depending on the size and style of each fireplace, pricing starts at $4,500, with the average fireplace costing $5,000. customers can also enhance their flame with fire stones or fire glass that can help create a specific look for each environment. Some of the options include: moonstone, lavastone and glimmerglass. We really started from scratch, designing a more contemporary fireplace, healy said. We are true to form and have helped in the evolution of the gas fireplace. a tool for designers and homeowners to enhance the feel of a room, Spark fireplaces get rid of the smoke, dirt and dust from traditional wood burning fireplaces and replace it with an energy-efficient, clean-burning alternative that is also sleek and sophisticated. We talk to designers and architects daily to see what they are hearing, so we can continue to evolve, healy said. that has helped us create a new way of seeing the fireplace. and while its two main factories are located in toronto and new hampshire, with offices in Bethel, connecticut, Spark has built a following all across the country. initially getting interest from the West coast and Southwest, Spark fireplaces can now be found in all four corners of the country. that interest hasnt been limited to just homes either. With such modern designs, Spark can be found is countless restaurants and hotels across the country, such as the ritz carlton, W hotels and peninsula hotels. We have really taken advantage of what a gas fireplace can do, healy said. We can control the flame and what it does, helping make each fireplace unique and beautiful and the flame into an art form.

Gertruda avenue Historic district

a WaLkinG tour
Written By deniSe Kano Like all of the south Bay cities, redondo Beach experienced rapid development in the 1960s and 1970s, at which time many of the older homes and buildings were torn down. High-density housing, two-on-a-lot, and numerous shopping malls became the name of the game. However, some residents in older redondo Beach neighborhoods banded together and formed a preservation society with the goal of protecting the remaining historic homes in the city. one such protected area is the Gertruda avenue History district, featuring homes full of character and history homes that reflect the original, early look of redondo Beach.
Located on the 300 block of north Gertruda avenue, many of these historic homes feature a blend of craftsman and colonial revival style. Fourteen of the homes are included in the citys Historic district designation and are also listed in the national register of Historic Places as part of the original townsite Historical district (1906-1923),
the homes on north Gertruda avenue represent one of the remaining collections of homes built during the early settlement period of redondo Beach. collectively, they are considered a valuable resource of historic significance to the city.

Does the thought of putting your home up for auction send chills down your spine, or does it put you in an elite class? If you happen to own a Monet or Picasso, Ferrari GTO, or a Patek Phillippe watch, you already know that selling via auction is the best way to maximize sale price... Auctions and real estate have often been associated with distressed real estate. Today that image is changing as auctions are being used to create worldwide marketing exposure and a competitive bidding environment. It is putting the sale of your property in the control of you, the seller. You decide what day the property will sell; Date Specific is the term that we often use, and properties are often sold in as-is condition, with no contingencies in the contract. This relieves you of all of the stress and headaches associated with a typical home sale. Auctions are now becoming a smart choice for sellers and their agents. Just imagine you decide you are going to sell your home under these circumstances: 1. You get to pick the exact day it sells 2. You pick the exact day it closes escrow 3. You remove the bumps or hick-ups along the way 4. You sell it at Market Value 5. You pay no real estate commissions (When using Premiere Estates exclusive Buyers Premium Program) About 10 years ago, I created a real estate auction company with Todd Wohl, an auction and marketing industry expert, when we recognized a need for homeowners who wanted to sell their property but didnt have the luxury of playing the waiting game. The fact is auctions have been used successfully for hundreds of years; in fact, the most used auction platform in the world today is the stock market. Premiere Estates Auction Companys WorldBid Auction program allows buyers to inspect a property as carefully as theyd like, receive title insurance, obtain financing and have 45 days to close. By allowing all of the above, Premiere Estates Auction Company attracts a worldwide pool of buyers who are able to buy with comfort and ultimately help sellers realize the maximum possible price. At PEAC auctions, buyers can and sometimes do buy without finance or inspection contingencies; however, there is ample time before Auction Day (60 days) for buyers to conduct any needed inspections perform their due diligence, and confirm with their lender that they are qualified to purchase the home. In addition, buyers appreciate the transparency auctions create. There is extreme comfort in buying at auction because buyers know exactly what the market is willing to pay for the property. An auction puts the buyer in control of exactly how much to pay for the property. If a buyer wants to bid a dollar more for the home to beat out the guy next to them, they have that choice. If they want to stop bidding they have that choice as well. Buyers love knowing what someone else is willing to pay for the home before they make the decision to bid. This is not the case in a typical real estate negotiation. When you write an offer on a home, you often have no idea what the other buyers are offering. Do you want to lose your dream home by a thousand dollars? Do you want to over pay by $200,000? At an auction, that cannot happen. How does an effective real estate auction work for you? The secret behind an intelligent and strategic auction campaign is the marketing team and strategies used to find the buyers in the marketplace. For sellers that are willing to sell their property at Market Value, an auction is ideal in that it is designed to identify and discover Market Value. The job of the auction company is to aggressively market the property to every conceivable buyer in the marketplace, reaching them locally, regionally, nationally and globally. An auction creates an instant sense of urgency for buyers because of the defined date and time when the property will sell, which ultimately drives buyers to the property. In addition, it creates a sense of value in the eyes of buyers, as the word Auction grabs their attention by creating a perceived value. Ultimately, when the bidding stops, the buyer knows one thing for sure: there is someone standing right behind them willing to buy the property for a dollar less. That is enough evidence to give any buyer confidence to bid. In summary, real estate auctions are becoming a smart option for savvy sellers, agents and brokers. If you are homeowner and you want your property sold, preferably in a specific time frame, and you know your home will benefit from an extensive and aggressive marketing campaign, the power of auctions might be the key to putting you in control of the sale of your home. At the very least, you will have a secondary option to consider when deciding how you want your home sold.

WHY YOU WANT TO CLOSE YOUR SHORT SALE THIS YEAR

When homeowners negotiate a short sale, banks are legally required to report the forgiven debt to the IRS. The homeowner now has to pay income tax on this amount. In many cases, the tax responsibility can end up being tens of thousands of dollars.
Lisa Stott
Love Your Lifestyle
The Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007 offers many homeowners relief from having to pay income taxes on forgiven mortgage debt, saving them from trading one unmanageable payment for another.
Originally set to expire in 2010, it has since been extended twice and has become one of the most successful relief programs since the beginning of the housing crisis. But barring an act of congress, the Mortgage Debt Relief Act is set to expire at the end of 2012. For distressed homeowners, this means that time is running out to close their short sales and take advantage of the program. There is a bill in Congress that would extend the act, but it is unclear whether or not it will pass. What is clear is that waiting to see if the act gets extended could end up costing you dearly.

fear no beer
najas p l acE
Writ ten By: Quin n r o Bert
dont let appearances fool you. najass place may look like your average dive bar, but its much more than that thanks to one simple fact. najas has 88 beers on tap, stretching from one end of the bar to the other. located right off the redondo Beach pier at 154 international Boardwalk, najas has also been a great place to people watch and enjoy spectacular views of the pacific since 1981. it is so much fun and a really great vibe. everyone has fun when they come down here and the beer selection is amazing, said Kara Smail, beer buyer and special events coordinator at najas. no other place is like it in the South Bay. With so many beers on tap from every corner of the globe, najas has kegs in every spare inch of the bar. and to make sure customers know all of the beers on tap, it has a large white board high above the bar to prevent any confusion. that allows employees to easily erase and add new beers to the list, which happens every few weeks. much of the selection is based on the season, with the bar keeping only 20 beers on tap throughout the year. najas is currently featuring a slew of pumpkin beers and will soon be getting into the christmas spirit when it hosts a christmas Beer festival the first week of december. customers will be able to try 15 different holiday inspired beers, including dead Santa from cismontane Brewing co. in rancho Santa margarita. fun names are all over najas beer menu, including: double daddy, evil twin, dog ate my homework and pliny the elder--najas most popular beer. najas has also made it a priority to showcase local breweries like Strand Brewing co. and monkish Brewing co. in torrance. it is really important to have local representation and have everyone support each other, Smail said. it has become a huge part of what we do because of how much the craft beer scene has taken off. prices for each beer vary, with pints usually ranging in price from $5 to $8, large glasses costing $8 to $9 and pitchers ranging between $16 to $18. however, mondayfriday from 4-6p.m., najas offers $1 off pints, $2 off large glasses and $3 off pitchers. the bottom line is, if you make good beer, we will try and get it in here, said Smail.

So cloSe and y e t S o fa r :
a Second home t h at d o u b l e S a S a beach club
Wr i tte n By: pam ela co rant e-hanSen
SWeet digS
your bags are packed. the plants are watered. for months, youve been dreaming about escaping to your vacation home, where balmy ocean breezes and the soft murmur of gentle surf lulls you to sleep. Where locals greet you by name. Where you can forget the world as you meander down seaside trails lined with native plants, all just steps from your front door. Suitcases in trunk, you pull out of your driveway and begin your journey to relaxation. in 15 minutes, youre there. no baggage check, no mile-long airport security lines. Just a smooth drive down pch and palos Verdes drive West to a vacation home at terranea resort, where the toughest decision that awaits is whether to get a spa treatment or go for an invigorating stroll before dinner. for some South Bay residents, owning a second home at terranea makes more sense than investing in a timeshare or an overseas property. While terraneas award-winning 9-hole par-3 oceanfront golf course. one enters through a private courtyard outfitted with a fireplace, Jacuzzi and stylish patio furniture. terra cotta pavers and lush tropical plants add a mediterranean flavor, along with colorful tile accents. Villa floor plans offer a choice between single-story and two-story residences, with up to 2800 square feet. Some of the two- to three-bedroom villas also have a den. oceanfront casitas, with up to 2000 square feet, feature floor plans with three bedroomsa master suite and two guest bedrooms with private entries. each bedroom has an outdoor living terrace. these single-story residences, located on a first or second floor, all boast expansive ocean views. all villas and casitas are fully furnished and include high-end appliances: Viking ranges and microwave ovens, cuisinart kitchenware, smart wireless lighting systems, Toto soaking tubs and bathroom fixtures, flat terraneas pointe discovery offers a full spectrum of activities and excursions, ranging from horseback riding and kayaking to cycling, painting and tide pool walks. Worth noting is the falconry excursion, in which participants get a first-hand look at terraneas environmentally friendly method of keeping seagulls and pigeons at bay through the use of trained hawks and falcons. Ecological practices at Terranea Resort extend well beyond the falconry program, a bonus for owners who observe a green lifestyle in their daily lives. all three swimming pools are treated with saltwater instead of harsh chemicals. each residence uses low-voltage devices and fluorescent bulbs to reduce energy consumption. the resort actively recycles and composts, and buys local and organic food when possible. in addition, some of the mature trees seen around the property date back to the marineland of the pacific days. When construction began for
some of our oWners use the resort as a year-round beaCh Club, says ted lennon, They bring their kids here after school to use the pool, or theyll use the spa and fitness center on a regular basis.
timeshares offer fractional ownership and a fairly limited period each year to enjoy the investment, terranea vacation homes provide full ownership of legacy real estate, meaning that the property can be passed down to heirs. theres also the allure of getting to a vacation home without having to endure hours of traffic or a long plane trip. the home may also be used as extended guest space to host visiting relatives or business clients, or to hold family gatherings over the holidays. Because of the 1970s coastal commission law guaranteeing full coastal access to all, owners may enjoy their villas or casitas for 90 and 60 days a year, respectively. during the time the homes are not in use, they must be rented out so that others may enjoy the natural beauty of the coast. Owners have full access to the resorts extensive array of amenities and servicesand receive 15 to 20 percent discounts on dining, spa, golf and recreationeven when theyre not staying at their residence. Some of our owners use the resort as a year-round beach club, says ted lennon, senior vice president of lowe destination development, which co-owns terranea resort in partnership with Jc resorts. they bring their kids here after school to use the pool, or theyll use the spa and fitness center on a regular basis. lowe shows a visitor one of the three-bedroom villas available for ownership, just a few steps from screen tVs. owners need not worry about packing hair dryers, linens, towels, eating utensils or even a bathrobe and slippers. these items, plus some toiletries, are provided. through on-site concierge services, one can even arrange to have the refrigerator and pantry stocked with their favorite foods before they arrive, eliminating the need to hit the grocery store at the start of vacation. as well-appointed as the villas and casitas are, there are plenty of reasons to venture out of ones residence and explore Terraneas 102-acre estate. three heated swimming pools, one for adults only, are available to owners year-round. in addition to the onsite golf course, arrangements can be made to play at nearby 18-hole courses. the 5000-squarefoot fitness center, with picture-perfect views of the pacific, features pilates, yoga and aerobics classes as well as cardio machines and personal training. miles of trails makes it easy to take in stunning vistas while getting some exercise. But if the need to relax is at the top of the priority list, a concierge can make an appointment for a signature treatment at the Spa at terranea, the propertys full-service spa overlooking the shimmering sea. those who opt for certain treatments can enjoy the luxury of a private relaxation room post-treatment. A quiet space with an elegant beach-chic aesthetic allows spa patrons to bask in the afterglow of a massage or facial near an intimate fireplace or on a balcony looking out on the crashing surf. terranea, nearly 50 trees were carefully stored and then replanted once the property was built. With eight different restaurants to choose from, ranging from flip-flop casual to five-star elegant, residents need not leave the property to enjoy a good meal. the popular nelsons, perched atop a cliff, features a spacious outdoor terrace where dogs are welcome and a casual bar where craft beers, wine and signature cocktails are served. the menu offers everything from fish tacos to rib eye steak. television trivia fans may like to know that the restaurant is named after the main character in the 1950s adventure series, Sea hunt. the land where terranea now standsand the nearby oceanserved as one of several filming locations for this and other tV shows, as well as dozens of feature films. New buyers will experience the celebrity treatment thanks to a limited-time promotion that terranea recently launched. free reign offers 30 days of complimentary privileges per year for five years, for two adults. among the privileges are breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, four hours of spa treatments per person per week, personal training sessions, unlimited golf, four Pointe Discovery excursions, and other benefits. When its time to return to real life, terranea owners can rest assured that their vacation home is being well-maintained while theyre away. Which means the days of the mid-flight i-left-the-slidingdoor-open crisis are refreshingly over.
