Don’t scrabble with your future!

Buying or selling a home is all about aligning pieces to achieve a specific end. ? 

Without a thought-out plan, it's merely just a wish list. It’s never too early or late to create a short or long-term plan to achieve homeownership. Call me today so we can discuss how to make your next move a winning one. 

Grand Central Market L.A.

Shima 0 comments 07.03.2018

Every so often, I enjoy playing "Tourist" in my own city. By that, I mean I take the day "off" of work to pretend I am a tourist in Los Angeles.

I am always stunned to find that despite living in Los Angeles for almost 30 years, there are places, restaurants, and attractions I have yet to experience!

Yesterday, I visited the Grand Central Market in Los Angeles. This is a hidden gem tucked in the middle of the jewelry district.

I would highly recommend all the foodies out there to make it a priority to visit. Visiting this attraction just reminds me in fact, how culturally diverse Los Angeles is! You have the option to try Thai, Mexican, Middle Eastern, and Italian to name the few in one place!

There's delicious coffee, a beer garden, spices, and even candy to purchase! You can learn more about the Grand Central Market here.

We ended our day visiting the beautiful Vista Hermosa National Park that I shared on my website a few months ago. You can learn all about the hidden park in L.A. here.

We're so privledged to live in L.A. that it is easy to take it for granted. I enjoy pretending I am a tourist every now and then so I can remember how lucky we truly are.

Very excited & honored to be head of the Culture Committee for my office this year. My colleague, Natalie, and I planned our entire 2018 activities for the year.

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

Buying a Home in your 20’s

What is stopping you from living your best life ever?

When planning to purchase a home, be sure to create a list of home "needs and wants." This will allow you to visualize what you want in a home, and then determine what's most important to you.

Seaside Heroes Park

Shima 0 comments 12.11.2017

In honor of Veterans Day weekend, today’s “Tourist in your own city” visit was to Seaside Heroes Park in Torrance.

This small park honors Army soldiers Cpl. Joseph Anzack, Jr., 20, Cpl. Micah S. Gifford, 27, and Capt. Matthew C. Ferrara, 24.

The three young men grew up in this area, attending Seaside Elementary Calle Mayor Middle, and South High Schools. As boys, they enjoyed scouting, baseball, track and field, wrestling and football but as young men, they all chose to serve our country.
They became members of the United States Army and all made the ultimate sacrifice, giving their lives while at war in Iraq (Joseph and Micah) and Afghanistan (Matthew).
They died within an eleven month period (December 2006 - November 2007). May everyone who visits this park realizes the sacrifice made by these Soldiers so that we may live in freedom, and may our "Seaside Heroes" be remembered and inspire future generations.
We may not know them all, but we owe them all.

Terranea Resort

Shima 0 comments 03.11.2017

For today’s tourist in my own city, I visited the beautiful Terranea Resort.

This resort has been filmed in many movies including Pirates of the Caribbean, has delicious restaurants, coffee shops, a golf course, and has breathtaking views of the ocean.

The best part? It’s just a short drive from SoCal cities., yet feels worlds away from the busy 405 freeway.

I'd highly recommend this resort for all ages. If you're hungry, you'll enjoy the many restaurant choices they offer including Nelson's, Bashi, and Catalina Kitchen.

Full? You can build an appetite with a round of golf on their nine-hole course that totals approximately 1,239 yards from the back tees.

You won't be able to beat the coastal view.

A fun fact may not know is that it was once Marine Land (Think Sea World).

I'd give Terranea Resort a solid 4.5 stars for its beautiful scenery and delicious restaurants. I'd recommend reviewing the restaurant options in advance as some may think it is too pricey.
