The beach was gone. The parking lot was a lake. And Buster and Cashew had the best morning of their lives. 🐾🌊
We walked the dogs during this morning’s king tide, and they splashed through the puddles like two toddlers in rain boots. (Yes, they got a full rinse when we got home.)
But a few blocks away, it’s no joke. M…

When the market’s hot, the whole team shows up. 🏅🐾 Buster and Cashew helped me train for the Long Beach Realtor Olympics this week — lockbox sprints, disclosure hurdles, the three-phone relay, all of it.

I was the listing agent for a unit in a West Hollywood building. I happened to get in the elevator with another resident, who asked if I was the listing agent. I said yes, introduced myself, and told him I was selling that unit over asking, and I could do the same for his. He hired me on the spot.
Years later, he call…

11:52 PM: Writing offer number four for my buyers. Highest and best… again. 😮💨
11:58 PM: Signed, sent, done. We're going to bed.
12:00 AM: "Can we make one more change?" 📱
Cashew's deadpan stare? Accurate. Buster waking up in total panic? Also accurate. 🐾😂

I didn’t sit it out. Long Beach Half #19 is done. 🏁
After a torn meniscus, foot surgery and 10+ weeks without a run, I followed Jeff Galloway’s run/walk method: run an interval, walk an interval, repeat for 13.1 miles.
I finished in 2:13:27. That’s about 25 minutes slower than my last race and way better than I expec…

The beach was gone. The parking lot was a lake. And Buster and Cashew had the best morning of their lives. 🐾🌊
We walked the dogs during this morning’s king tide, and they splashed through the puddles like two toddlers in rain boots. (Yes, they got a full rinse when we got home.)
But a few blocks away, it’s no joke. Months of storm surf and high tides have chewed through the beach on the Peninsula. Sections of the boardwalk are gone, and homes have been red-tagged and evacuated. City crews are bringing in sand and building berms as fast as they can.
If you own near the water, or you’re thinking about buying there, here’s what’s worth knowing:
🌊 Standard homeowners policies typically don’t cover flood damage. Ask your insurance agent what you actually have.
📋 Sellers in California must disclose known flooding and damage, so ask for the history.
📅 More king tides are coming over Thanksgiving week and Christmas week. Plan ahead.
To my Peninsula neighbors: we’re thinking of you. If you need a referral for a contractor, inspector or insurance agent, my DMs are open.

Years later, he called me again, this time for a condo in La Palma. The condo market right now isn’t easy, so instead of sitting on the original price, I repriced it strategically. Two days later, it was under contract. It just closed at $625,000, over the adjusted list price, in a market where that’s not the norm right now.
This is what happens when a client trusts you with round two. 🔑

And honestly? I get it. In a multiple-offer market, buyers want every detail right, and I'm here for all of it, even at midnight. The offers that win usually aren't just the highest price. They're the cleanest: strong pre-approval, shorter contingencies, a smart appraisal plan and a timeline that works for the seller.
Buyers, be honest: how many "one more changes" have you sent your agent? 👇
Tag the friend who rewrites their offer 5 times 😂

I finished in 2:13:27. That’s about 25 minutes slower than my last race and way better than I expected.
Did my hat blow off mid-race? Yes. Did I go back for it? Also yes. 🧢
Today my feet are wrecked and my quads are on fire, but I’m so glad I showed up and did my best with what I had.
That’s what I tell buyers and sellers: adjust the plan, not the goal. A price adjustment, a credit or a different neighborhood isn’t quitting. It’s how you still get to the finish line.
What’s your next finish line? DM me “RESET” and let’s build a plan that gets you there. 💛
