Frascati Trail

Shima 0 comments 22.06.2026

𝗙𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗹 is an absolutely beautiful, quiet and serene trail located on a shady canyon hillside. 🥾

Enjoy the sound of the waterfall from a stream while birds chirp. The trail is 0.33 miles in total, with several areas of incline. 🏔 Don’t quit early, though!

The ocean view at the top is worth the climb. The trail entrance is a bit hidden, however it can be found on the corner of Corsini and Palos Verdes Drive East OR may be accessed from Via Colinita after completing the Siena Loop Trail.

SoCal Ice Rink

Only in Los Angeles can you work out with your favorite hockey team on a Saturday morning. 🏒 @lakings

Toyota Sports Performance Center, located in El Segundo, is a major ice skating and hockey training facility that serves as the official practice rink for the NHL’s Los Angeles Kings.

It features three ice sheets, offering public skating, figure skating, and hockey programs for all ages and skill levels, as well as off-ice training, a pro shop, and a cafe.

The center is a year-round hub for both recreational and elite athletes, hosting leagues, lessons, and camps.

That’s COOL!

The cool outlook, that is. This scenic lookout spot offers breathtaking coastal views! Unfortunately, you cannot drive to this location as it’s located on a closed road outside the nature preserve. Nonetheless, it’s worth the walk! #lookout

Real Estate is a lot like soccer!

Happy World Cup! ⚽️

Soccer and real estate actually have more in common than you may realize.

Preparation matters. (Strategy) ✔️
Timing can change everything. (Off season?) ✔️
A great team makes all the difference. (Man Power) ✔️
Patience pays off. (Trust the timing) ✔️

And sometimes… the winning goal comes in the final minutes.

Whether you’re chasing the World Cup trophy or the keys to your dream home, remember there’s no I in team.

A great team will always outperform an individual.

Here’s to good strategy, teamwork, and celebrating the wins along the way! Oh, and remembering the end goal. 🏡 🔑

Why are homes with HOA’s taking longer to sell?

Shima 0 comments 08.06.2026

I was recently asked why many condos are taking longer to sell in today’s market. While factors like higher HOA dues, rising insurance costs, financing challenges, and changing buyer preferences can impact demand, that doesn’t mean condos aren’t a great investment.

For many buyers, condos still offer an incredible opportunity for homeownership, affordability, and lifestyle. The key is understanding whether a condo is the right fit for YOUR goals.

Thinking about buying or selling a condo and not sure where to start? Let’s chat. 

What’s for breakfast?

Shima 0 comments 08.06.2026

Craving that “old school” diner feel? The kind we’d pop into before or after school for a delicious meal? Well, fortunately, @omeletteandwaffleshop in San Pedro still has that feeling we all adore.

They’ve been serving the community since 1995 and apparently have over 100 omelets on the menu. 🤯

Their slogan is “Where Old Friends Come to Meet,” so what better place to meet an old friend than this cutie restaurant.

Pop in soon and eat local.

Lady of the light

Shima 0 comments 08.06.2026

According to witnesses, in the dim light through the painted window, some saw the shape of a tall, peaceful woman in a flowing gown who would slowly pace the tower’s walkway. 👣

Many believed her to be the first lighthouse keeper’s wife who stumbled from the edge of a cliff one foggy night.

There are many other conspiracies including those who believe she is waiting for the return of a lover who’s lost at sea and others who think that she is the shade of a heartbroken woman who threw herself from the cliffs when’s she found herself abandoned by her intended.

The ghostly shadow continues to persist at Point Vicente Lighthouse. 😳 Source: terranealife.com

What is a TURNKEY home?

Shima 0 comments 07.06.2026

A common term you’ll hear during the home-buying process is “turnkey property.”

A turnkey property is essentially a home that has been updated or renovated and is ready for immediate use.

For investors, it can also refer to a property that is move-in ready and can be rented out right away.

As the name suggests, all you have to do is turn the key, and you’re good to go!
