Belated Father’s Day lunch with my 99-year-old grandpa! 🍷

We celebrated with a fun afternoon at CUCINA Enoteca 🍝 in Newport Beach. Great food and even better company! And if you were wondering what grandpa’s secret is to looking this good at 99, he’d tell you it’s riding his stationary bike 🚲 at least once every day, eating small meals with lots of fruit 🍎, and working hard. 💪🏼

Happy Fathers Day to these incredible dads in our world! 🌎 We are so very lucky to have you in our lives. 🥰

Happy Father’s Day to all of the other great dads out there and to those missing their dads today as well. 🩵

☀️ You know it’s summer in the South Bay when the Strand is packed with bikers 🚴, the Junior Guards are out in full force, and your biggest dilemma is deciding which fun event to squeeze into the weekend. It’s a tough life, I know. 😜

To help narrow down your options, I put together a few of my favorite family-friendly happenings around town, from outdoor movie nights 🍿 and Shakespeare by the Sea 🎭🌊 to the Sunset Series at South Coast Botanic Garden 🎶 and the always-fun Riviera Village Summer Festival. 🛍️

Consider this your cheat sheet for making the most of South Bay summer. 👙 Just don’t blame me if your calendar suddenly gets busier than a beach parking lot on a sunny Saturday. 😆

Not sure how we got here so fast, but I’m proud of these two and all they’ve accomplished this year. 🎓 Hazel said goodbye ✌️ to elementary school and Sydnee wrapped up her last year of middle, which means next year we will officially have one in middle and one in HIGH school. Time is such a trip. 🤯 Slow down!!

After a quick 🔟-day stint on the market, this Southwood cutie 🏡 is officially under contract! 🎉 Fully renovated and turnkey 🗝️, this home was a buyer magnet 🧲 with its light-filled open floor plan, stylish living spaces, and beautiful primary suite addition. ✨

We hosted 3️⃣ busy open houses, and the feedback was unanimous: move-in ready, beautifully updated opportunities like this in Southwood don’t come around often. 😉 Southwood is one of my absolute favorite neighborhoods in Torrance, and it’s clear that many buyers are eager for a chance to put down roots 🌳 here.

My sellers received multiple 💪🏼 strong offers, proving that thoughtful preparation, curated staging 🛋️, strategic marketing, and strong agent relationships can make all the difference.

Congratulations to my wonderful sellers as we head toward the finish line! 🏡✨
