But it's all relative. Many of my clients have lost larger fortunes in the stock market. Realizing that, many have rightly decided to sell their estates and re-invest. This reallocation makes sense with real estate in the same way that it makes sense with stocks. Most of the wealth was not created by passively standing by and hoping for the best.Rancho Santa Fe Homes Prohttp://www.sdrealtypros.com/rancho-santa-fe-homes/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-52153644569036343422009-04-17T16:15:00.000-07:002009-04-17T16:15:00.000-07:00This is NOT perfect and there ARE crimes here, in ...This is NOT perfect and there ARE crimes here, in the kitchen (Pottery Barn bistro modern),around the dining room table (why?),the bar stools from the set of Pluto Nash (oh dear!), and finally all those faux 17th century Spanish numbers scattered around like cast offs from William Randolph Hurst.Look at that dreadful chairnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-83624383582821753742009-04-17T12:56:00.000-07:002009-04-17T12:56:00.000-07:00Why can't California real estate agents be civiliz...Why can't California real estate agents be civilized like those in NYC and include the floor plan?

Every day it gets easier to distinguish those who are interested in selling a home from those who are looking for someone they can take to the bank. I think an increasing number of people are getting hip to it too. Regardless of how much money I had and how badly I wanted a particular house, my pride and the principle of the thing would prevent me from paying anything beyond what's reasonable.angeleyesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-17517139698532316802009-04-16T13:26:00.000-07:002009-04-16T13:26:00.000-07:00The house is definately among the more intriguing ...The house is definately among the more intriguing listings on the market for its unique style with the farmhouse / contempo fusion.<br /><br />Personally, I don't care for this area of Beverly Hills.

I agree with your entire assessment of the decor Mama. Utterly teriffic job there, no doubt about it. <br /><br />The kitchen would look sooo much better without that clunky potrack obstruction hanging there, but at least in this instance it can claim to be a 'legit' element within farmhouse architecture. We have to assume what's hanging from it is washed with hot soapy water before being used.<br /><br />Regarding Mr. Gallin's rumored designated asking price for the former Jane Wyatt estate, I have a feeling his successful run of doubling to tripling profits on investments is over, but we shall see.angeleyesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-17808870928237346622009-04-16T13:13:00.000-07:002009-04-16T13:13:00.000-07:00I hate Summit Drive, but this is nicely done and n...I hate Summit Drive, but this is nicely done and nicely presented.

Light wood, like maple, with a natural finish is fine, but I hate the kitchen cupboards, ceilings, and such in this place. My eyes can't adjust with all that blandness reflecting back at me. And then the towels. What the hell? Do they use towels instead of toilet paper? Is this by the pool and they have lots of parties, so people can just strip down, jump in the pool, and grab a towel afterward?
