One of the biggest buzz words in the Real Estate community is Off Market or Pocket Listing and its absolutely imperative
for anyone involved in Selling or Buying a home to know what this means to them. For Buyers, its a listing that isnt being
publicly marketed in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and is only communicated through the Agents network. For Sellers,
its an additional marketing phase for a property which may have specifc reasons not to be placed on the MLS such as either
a tenant occupies the home and advertising the home would adversely effect the relationship or there may be a discrepancy
of its value and testing the waters was an agreed upon marketing channel or, and most commonly, the Sellers havent found
a property to move to and they feel marketing the home in the MLS is premature. In all cases however, Realtors connected in
the strong Networking Groups prevail in servicing their clients by staying well connected. Get in touch with your Realtor if you
have a property youre considering selling and please test the waters!

PALOS VERDES NATIVE INDIANS
BY MAUREEN MEGOWAN / RE/MAX ESTATE PROPERTIES
While first described in 1542 by Portuguese Explorer Juan Cabrillo, for almost three centuries the Palos
Verdes Peninsula remained undisturbed and the exclusive domain of the local Indians, whose artifacts are
still being unearthed. One of the richest treasure troves found in Palos Verdes, archaeologically speaking,
bordered Torrance on a bluff overlooking Malaga Cove. USC and the Southwest Museum excavated the
area in 1936 and 1937 and found thousands of artifacts. Eventually, archaeologists used radiocarbon dating
and found the Malaga Cove site had been inhabited by humans for at least 7,100 years. The early inhabitants
found so much game, seafood, and wild plants in the area they never needed to develop farming.
The most recent Native Americans to live in Palos Verdes were members of the Tongva tribe who spoke
a Shoshone language. Most recentlybetween 1,000 and 235 years agoa group called the Chowigna
lived in Malaga Cove and at other sites in Palos Verdes. Chowigna villages stretched from the South Bay
to Catalina Island. The biggest village in the area, though, was believed to be at Machado Lake, between
Gaffey Street and the 110 freeway. It was called Suang Na.

The Tongva did not use a written language, but their myths and their superb knowledge of their
environment were passed down from one generation to the next through storytelling and teaching.
Large trees did not grow in this part of California, so they built houses with frames made of willow poles.
They also constructed reed boats, and sealed them with tar or asphalt found on the beach. The Spaniards
called the native people after the names of nearby missions. The natives in the Los Angeles area became
known as the Gabrielino, because they were the closest to the Mission San Gabriel.
During the summers, the Tongva camped along the ocean and hunted in places such as Abalone Cove for
fish, seals, sea otters, abalone, and other shellfish using their canoes. During the cold, rainy season, they
moved back to base camps on higher ground and hunted deer, rabbits and squirrels.
For over two hundred years after the first explorers came, the Spaniards occasionally met and traded
with the Tongva people. In the late 1700s, the Spaniards began to permanently settle the Palos Verdes
Peninsula area. As they moved in with their cattle and horses, and new crops, the native animals and
plants that the Tongva relied on for their survival began to disappear. The Spanish began to persuade the
Native Americans to give up their old way of life and move to the Spanish missions and ranchos, where
they would learn farming and
cattle raising. The Spanish
missions interrupted life for the
Chowigna. At the Malaga Cove
site, the most recent artifacts
found nearest the surface were
glass beads the Spanish brought.
An estimated 150 people lived at
the site in its last days, about 1775.

For over two hundred years after the first explorers came, the Spaniards occasionally met and traded
with the Tongva people. In the late 1700s, the Spaniards began to permanently settle the Palos Verdes
Peninsula area. As they moved in with their cattle and horses, and new crops, the native animals and
plants that the Tongva relied on for their survival began to disappear. The Spanish began to persuade the
Native Americans to give up their old way of life and move to the Spanish missions and ranchos, where
they would learn farming and
cattle raising. The Spanish
missions interrupted life for the
Chowigna. At the Malaga Cove
site, the most recent artifacts
found nearest the surface were
glass beads the Spanish brought.
An estimated 150 people lived at
the site in its last days, about 1775.

It seems like every other conversation Im having these days
with local real estate professionals centers around the topic
of off market inventory. For our purposes, we refer to off
market as the properties that are not listed in the Multiple
Listing Service (MLS) but are actively for sale in the local
market. While this is a subject of much debate, the off
market inventory in the Beach Cities in the South Bay may
be as high as 10% of total available listings for sale at any
given time. What is for certain in todays real estate market
is that there are more buyers than sellers, inventory is still
low and prices seem to be edging up. As we get into Spring,
the market should give us a good indication if inventory will
loosen up, but Im starting to feel that the tide may be turning.

Speaking of off market inventory, this issues COVER home, offered by Alex Abad, Palm
Realty Boutique, is one of the frst new construction homes built and now for sale in the last
50 years located behind the gates in Portuguese Bend. In fact, a total of sixteen original
landowners in this area have recently received a Landslide Moratorium Exception (LME)
which once again allows for development. Dont miss our Special Advertising Section
Portuguese Bend Paradise Large Lots and Amazing Views which features all the current
purchase opportunities available starting on page 53.

This issues HOME OF THE WEEK is a fantastic family estate located in Rolling Hills. This
1935 Original Model Home was completely remodeled in 2009 with superb attention to
detail. Check out all the details in our back cover gloss section on page 85 and dont miss

32 LUXURY HOMES FOR 2013
Home sales in Southern California, especially beachfront luxury homes, are on the rise. As of February 25, 2013, 32 sales of private luxury residences with
over 3,000 square feet of living space have already closed in our local beach communities, indicating that the market, and prices, are once again picking up:
three in El Segundo, two in Hermosa Beach, eight in Manhattan Beach, six in Palos Verdes Estates, six in Rancho Palos Verdes, three in Redondo Beach, two
in Rolling Hills and two in Rolling Hills Estates. Four of the properties have Strand addresses and twelve boast panoramic views of our local oceans.

986 Paseo La Cresta in Palos Verdes Estates represents an opportunity to step into
a never-before-lived-in luxury estate and add fnal touches that truly make it your
own. This six-bedroom Monte Malaga neighborhood private residence has ocean
views and a massage and spa area that make it seem more like a vacation retreat
than a private home. The property is offered as a pre-completion sale by Rick Edler
and Darin DeRenzis of Sothebys International Realty for $9,200,000.
Prices rise as foreclosures fall
Southern Californias median home price rose 23.5% from January 2012 to January 2013
according to San Diego-based DataQuick. The good news doesnt stop there, though;
home foreclosures fell 60.5% from December 2012 to January 2013, possibly due to
some tough new laws protecting homeowners from bank policies, further indicating that
our local South Bay real estate market is quickly headed for higher property values. The
lack of foreclosed houses, as well as increased demand from cash investors looking for
stable long-term investments, adds to the already-low inventory for those looking to buy
in the South Bay. These factors, along with continuing low interest rates that facilitate
home purchasing power, herald rising property values in our local beach communities.
Highest-priced South Bay Home Sales in January 2013
2020 and 2016 The Strand were the highest-priced South Bay private residence home sales in January 2013. These
two beachfront properties were originally listed together for $30 Million by a single owner and were intended as
a package deal, but the two homes sold last month to two separate buyers, 2020 The Strand for $9,450,000
and 2016 for an undisclosed price. Jeremy Shelton & Steve Zuckmann of Shorewood Realtors were the Buyers
Agents on 2016 The Strand. The two homes could potentially be razed in order to build a palatial beachfront
mansion, though they are quite deluxe all on their own. Steve Heavrin of Shorewood Realtors, who represented
both properties as the listing agent, stated Any way you cut it, this is one of the best locations on one of the best
beaches perhaps in the entire World and certainly here in the greater Los Angeles area. We may look back at these
2013 closed Strand sales later this year and wonder how did these homes ever sell for such a low price? With so
many Strand home owners comfortably dug in for the foreseeable future and never considering living anywhere
else in Manhattan Beach, who knows just how many chances there will be to even own a Strand Property?
New Rolling Hills
Property Ballot Measures
Two measures on the Rolling Hills March city ballot
are a subject of lively debate with residents and
city council members; Measure A would change
the current construction laws about private stables
essentially allowing people to use barns built
before July 12, 2010 for residential purposes. Since
1972, the City of Rolling Hills has required all new
private residence constructions to either to build
stables and corrals as part of the original plans or
to make room for future equine housing. Some
residents, however, have already converted their
stables or have no intention of owning horses. If the measure passes, people might be able to rent out unoccupied,
converted stables or demolish unused corrals. Also controversial, Measure B would loosen the rules about how trees
and other foliage blocking neighbors views are handled, which some feel are currently vague and may contribute to
un-neighborly law suits, while others feel that to change that law might obstruct desirous ocean views.

Jack Gillespie has been selling real estate in the South Bay since May 15, 1973 (he
remembers the exact date). Back then, only one fxed rate loan was available and a 3
bedroom, 2 bathroom Manhattan Beach Tree Section home went for around $50,000.
In 1985 he co-founded South Bay Brokers with Jim Van Zanten, now one of the largest
frms in the South Bay.
Gillespie agrees that right now theres a real shortage of inventory in the South Bay.
We havent been this low on inventory since 2005, he says, when loans were much more
easily available. Today, people tend to hold on to their homes because they may not be
able to take any equity into a new home if their mortgage is higher than the current value
of their property. Also affecting inventory is the school system in the South Bay; people
move here so their kids can attend the safe, good schools and they end up sticking around
for at least twelve years, if not longer. Finally, speculative builders are just beginning
to come back to the beach cities but have been largely gone for the past three or so
years. In the Tree Section, right now there are only 6, 8, maybe 10 spec homes so theres
really nowhere for people in the community to move up to, Gillespie says. Most new
construction is happening on existing homes or involves tearing down older ones.
Gillespie does envision prices going back to what they were at their highest point,
in August 07. There are still gaps in the market, he says, but having so many buyers
right now and so few properties, prices are going up.
Gillespie has always had respect for real estate; towards customers, he believes,
an agent must always be respectful. Youre a psychologist as much as a broker, he
says about helping people with what is usually the biggest fnancial investment of their
lives. Youre dealing with people expanding their lives and expanding their business,
and on the other hand, people lose jobs and lose equity.
An agent can create lifelong relationships and help to foster a sense of community;
South Bay brokers has sold many people their fnal home, the one they always wanted,
as well as many frst homes for young couples. People buy homes, have babies, and
suddenly those babies are buying homes and having babies, he chuckles.
South Bay Brokers is a consistent contributor to the Manhattan Beach Education
Foundation, among many other local charity organizations such as Sandpipers and
The Jimmy Miller Foundation. Youve got to learn to give back, says Gillespie. You
have to support the infrastructure of the cities that youre working in and have a real
interest in them. As a guy from a small town, hes very proud of the local Manhattan
Beach freworks display every Christmas to which he and his wife Maureen contribute
each year; it reminds him that Manhattan Beach is a small town in the midst of a
bustling metropolis. Theyve even sponsored the eel tank on the Manhattan Beach pier
and lovingly refer to the inhabitants as Jack and Maureen.

When the time came to sell my Strand home
of 25 years, I interviewed four of the South Bays
local top producers. I chose Shawn Dugan to list
the property because I felt he understood my home
and its ideal target buyer. He presented a top tier
marketing plan, was forthright with his analysis
of the property and he had the important quality of
being trustworthy. I felt confdent he was the one for
the job. Once listed, I was immediately impressed
with his marketing materials and presentation of
the house to prospective buyers. Throughout the
process, Shawn was there for every phone call,
question and concern that I had. He worked with
integrity and always looked out for our best interest.
He was with us every step of the way. The end result
speaks for itself: a great price on the sale and less
than half the average time on the market. I highly
recommend Shawn to anyone who is thinking of
selling their home. He really goes the extra mile.

LOCAL NUGGE TS
As a little girl growing up in Manhattan Beach, Lori Ford always dreamed of
converting an old beach house into her very own store. Fast forward a few decades
to 2008 and that dream became a reality when she opened Gum Tree Shop and
Cafe with her husband Will.
Located in the heart of downtown Hermosa Beach at 238 Pier Avenue, Gum Tree
is housed in a historic 1911 craftsman bungalow with original windows and moldings.
I always wanted this house ever since I was a little girl growing up in Manhattan
Beach. When I found out it was available a few years ago, I jumped at the chance,
Lori Ford said. When I walked up the steps, I immediately realized how we would
divide the shop and cafe. It came to me as soon as I saw it.
Combining their talents, Loris main focus is on the shop, while Will is in charge
of the cafe. A celebrated restauranteur and Aussie native, Will modeled the cafe
after beach cafes in Melbourne. A former costume and accessories designer, Lori
makes sure to have a wide range of gifts for every part of the house.
The cafes menu showcases Wills roots with Aussie meat pies, sausage rolls
and Aussie candy bars. It also strives to use organic and locally-sourced ingredients
whenever possible, offering casual breakfast and lunch items along with daily
pastries, toasts and spreads.
Loris shop is set up to uniquely showcase the merchandise so that each section
coincides with a room in a house. Just a few of these products include foral teacups by
Aussie designer Samantha Robinson, jewelry by Chan Luu and pillows by Thomas Paul.
We buy local whenever we can, but I buy things from all over the world, Lori
said. I want things that are good quality. It all has a story. I know the artists and
makers. I hate plastic junk. I feel like it should be special, beautiful and functional.
We are a gift store. Everything I sell is something that I like and would want to
give as a gift. Do I want it in my house? That makes me believe in everything.
For customers who cant make it to the store, Gum Tree now sells its merchandise
online, launching an e-commerce website last November, which has helped it grow
exponentially.
Im continuing to learn how everything works, Lori said. Weve expanded
online and defnitely have thought about expanding beyond our one location. This
is so personal for us, living and working in the community, and were happy with
that right now.

BECKERS BAKERY
WRITTEN BY DENISE KANO
When you frst walk into Beckers Bakery, be sure to look down and notice the
sign embedded into the foor that reads, Since 1942. Beckers is one of the last
remaining old-time businesses left in downtown Manhattan Beach still making their
unforgettable sugar cookies, among other confections.
Whether you want your sugar cookies in the shape of a surfboard or a super
hero, the taste is the same: amazing, with a touch of nostalgia for those of us who
remember taking a break from laying out on the beach for a quick treat.
Beckers History
This building was reportedly owned by a prominent local realtor in 1900, and the
front area of the bakery, where orders are now placed, was his front yard. Beckers
itself all started with Harry Becker, who frst worked as a bakery supply salesman and
supplied goods to Webers Bakery, the very frst bakery at this particular location.
When the owner of Webers decided to sell his bakery business, Harry was an
interested buyer, and approached his brother-in-law, a bra salesman working in Los
Angeles (also named Harry), for the necessary capital. The enterprising brother-in-
law drove his car to downtown Manhattan Beach and wisely parked it on the nearby
hill so he could watch the area foot traffc and decide if this was a worthy investment.
He decided in the affrmative, and in 1942, Beckers Bakery was in business.
For 20 years, Harry specialized in pies, rolls, holiday desserts, and produced
one hundred loaves of white bread every day. When he felt it was time to retire,
he handed the business down to his two sons, Stan and Norm. Norm, however,
did not have a longstanding interest in the bakery, and Stan ran it for the next
20 years. In 1983, Stanss son, Todd, was 20 years old and working for the Los
Angeles Times. He was unsure what his next career move should be, and when
Stan entertained thoughts of selling Beckers, Todd asked his father to teach him
about the business.
Todd stood with his dad for a year, learning the business, says Birgid Becker,
Todds wife. In 1983, Todd took the business over full-time, and continues to proudly
stand at the helm.
Cakes and those Amazing Sugar Cookies
The bakery is always bustling with orders for cakes, cookies, and desserts,
but the favorite order is for Beckers classic sugar cookies; most popular is the
surfboard-shaped cookie which comes in an assortment of bright colors. Bite into
one of these thick, soft cookies and the sugary icing melts in your mouth.
If you look past the bakery counter and into the back area where all the baking
is done, you may see a few reminders that this part of the building used to be a
private home. For example, the large, residential-type window on the north side

Last issue of DIGS I discussed the foundation for reducing risk in real estate investing
which started with learning from Lessons of the past and Analysis starting with personal
and asset analysis. By taking this step you are on your way to reducing risk in real
estate investing. Remember Buffets quote: Risk comes from not knowing what you
are doing. If you dont know how to properly analyze real estate values, entering and
exiting real estate transactions in todays market is risky. Those who fully understand the
intricacies of creative real estate investing continue to participate and proft. So, what
are your options in Real Estate investing?
REAL ESTATE ASSET OPTIONS
SINGLE FAMILY HOME
When deciding where to invest frst, I strongly recommend your personal home if you
dont yet own one. If youre already a homeowner, look at these factors when identifying
investment property.
Property Location: How close is the property to you? While tempting, purchasing a
$100,000 home in Las Vegas, the management issues can compress your ability to proft
dramatically. If possible, fnd something within a 45 minute
drive and you will be much happier especially when your
tenant calls you at 11 PM about a broken water heater.
Appreciation vs. Cash fow: Determining this factor is
usually based on your available cash. Higher cash fow
properties tend to be in less desirable areas. If you are
qualifed to buy with a 20% down payment, its possible
today to fnd properties that have a positive cash fow. In the
South Bay most of these properties are in areas surrounding
the beach cities: Hawthorne, Gardena, Lawndale and similar
areas. It is not unheard of to be required to put down 30%
or more to get to a break-even point when you buy in
Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach or Redondo Beach.
A common question with a single family home is how do
you determine its actual value? Appraisers will tell you, look
at sales over the last 90-120 days. In todays fast moving
market, you will more likely need to look at the last 30 days
of home sales.
LESSON Attempting to buy a home on sales data from 6 months ago, will most likely
result in you missing out on some opportunities. If you dont learn this lesson, you can
end up paying a lot more down the road.
COMMERCIAL PROPERTY
For example, lets say you purchase a Retail Strip Center for $4,000,000 and pay cash.
After collecting rents, paying expenses, you receive a net of $400,000 after 12 months;
you received a 10% return on your investment. When analyzing Cap Rates, consider two
key factors: rates vary tremendously by location and type of property. Example, you
fnd a building that claims a 15% Cap Rate in the middle of Iowa and a similar building
in a populated area of California only puts out a 6% return. Whats the difference? Iowa
may have a great annual return however if you lose your tenant it may be more diffcult to
replace them. In addition Iowa may not have any or very low appreciation and California
may experience tremendous growth in appreciation. By the way I am not picking on Iowa,
its just an example. Higher appreciation markets typically have lower cap rates.
MULTI-FAMILY HOME
Apartment building investments are evaluated Gross Income, which is a different type of
analysis. Investors use what is called a GM or Gross Multiplier. To determine the GM you
simply take the price and divide by annual rents. For example: Sale Price=$1,000,000/
Annual Rents=$100,000=Gross Multiplier of 10. In 10 years your return would be the entire
price of the building through the rent dollars received. Typically, the lower the GM the better
the value but GMs vary dramatically based on the location of the property its not unheard
of to see a GM at the beach as high as 15 or 20. On the other hand, drive a couple miles east
into Los Angeles or North Hawthorne and fnd GMs lower than 10. Ive seen GMs as low as 4
in pretty tough parts of town which means your return would be the full purchase price back
in 4 years. Be realistic and know you may have diffculty with tenants, vacancy, vandalism
and numerous other hassles that may not be worth the trouble. You will also discover that the
areas that show the highest potential for appreciation have much higher GMs.
MORE LESSONS
Some the wealthiest local individuals were early investors in real
estate and started purchasing in the 1960s and 1970s. Many were
local aerospace employees that scrimped and saved to purchase
rental homes and apartments spending evenings and weekends
self-managing their properties. The profle was always the same:
properties were maintained in good condition, no crazy updating
but they werent slum lords either, drove average cars, lived in
average homes, and rarely sold the properties they purchased. If
you read the book The Millionaire Next Door that is exactly who
they are and today, they are Millionaires many times over and are
fnancially set for generations.
The other group of successful real estate wealth builders
carried a far different philosophy: cash rich when they started
or partnered with liquid partners, everything they purchase
NEVER exceeded a 50% loan to value ratio giving them extreme
holding power to weather any real estate market decline. With
high cash fow, their equity position was never threatened. It is
a conservative approach and they were some of the only investors able to smile through the
real estate crashes.
The biggest losers, and not the ones on TV, were certainly the most aggressive investors
using highly leveraged fnancing with large loan amounts. They were buying properties
in areas they didnt fully understand with negative cash fow and banking on instant
appreciation not concerned with owning long term. Making numerous management
mistakes in most cases, they paid no attention to the history lessons of other.
IN SUMMARY
Were talking about reducing your risk, which translates to partnering with professionals: work
with a licensed and experienced real estate agent, speak with a lender, meet with your accountant
or tax attorney about the benefts of income property ownership and reduce risk by knowing
what youre doing.

Area History
In 1913, Frank Vanderlip, considered by many to be
the Father of Palos Verdes, purchased 16,000 acres
of Palos Verdes land, site unseen, from Jonathan

Area History
In 1913, Frank Vanderlip, considered by many to be
the Father of Palos Verdes, purchased 16,000 acres
of Palos Verdes land, site unseen, from Jonathan
Bixby, a farmer. Vanderlip had a vision for potential
development for this entire hill, and soon set about
building his own massive estate. His descendants still
live nearby, and these homes sit behind another set
of gates on a private road.

A Piece of Paradise Frozen in Time
Decades ago, a blanket moratorium was thrown over this entire area when
land movement was created due to the blasting in the making of Crenshaw
Boulevard. As a result of that moratorium, there was no future development
allowed. Existing homeowners could renovate their existing structures, but
there could be no new development. For the past 50 years, there has not
been any new construction. Until now.
Only sixteen longtime landowners ended up in litigation with the city to
lift the moratorium. The overwhelming evidence and studies emphatically
proved what many had known for years the land was safe. Numerous
geological studies were performed and the conclusion was that particular
zones in the area were safe and free from land movement. These sixteen
original landowners won their lawsuit and received a Landslide Moratorium
Exception (LME) whereby they now have the right to build new homes or
sell their property to a new owner who can have the LME transferred with
the sale of the land. Its been nearly a half a century since we have seen the
development of brand new homes in this area.
The time is now for those who have waited for an amazing opportunity such
as this, says Alex Abad with Palm Realty Boutique. They will own one of the
worlds most scenic, safe, and most spectacular estate properties. With the
obvious high demand for ocean front homes, there is often limited inventory for
these panoramic ocean view lots for sale. They are quickly being purchased
once they are gone, they are gone. To fnd ocean view lots for sale such as these
that have been frozen in time is an unheard of, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
There are a total of 8 zones in the Portuguese area and, according to the city
geologist, Zones 1, 2 and 3 were not affected by the Crenshaw blasting and have
not experienced any land movement in nearly 200,000 years. It is as safe and
solid as any other local areas where building permits are issued daily for the
building of new construction. The entire Portuguese Bend area has had more
geological studies done than any other area in Southern California. Now this
amazing piece of paradise that was frozen in time is once again free from the
moratorium for only these 16 land owners.
53 Narcissa Drive, a gorgeous, brand new single-story with nearly 3700 square
foot Cape Cod home built by Chris Smith, will be the frst new construction
available to the public in this area in 50 years.

Portuguese Bend Riding Club
Sitting in the center of the community is Portuguese Bend
Riding Club, offering horse boarding, riding lessons, and
horse training. The nearby trails connect riders with Rolling
Hills, and its just a short ride through the quiet streets to

Catalina View Gardens, Farm, & Wine

A nearby, 94-acre property will be devoted to Catalina
View Gardens, Catalina View Winery, and Catalina View
Farm, as well as a golf course.
There are three major components, says Jim York,
Catalina View Gardens proprietor. There is an agriculture
component, event garden, and golf course.
York plans to grow his own wine grapes, including pinot
noir and chardonnay, as well as a vast array of organic
vegetables. Were restoring the historic agricultural
usages on this property, says York. With regard to his
wine, he states that the frst 2011 vintage will be released
in June of this year.
The second component is the Event Garden, an
approximately 5-acre terrace overlooking the ocean with
a 360-degree, uninterrupted ocean view. The location
will be host to private parties, weddings, receptions, and
charity events, a high-quality venue which will be available
at little or no cost to charities and non-proft organizations.
Finally, an executive, 9-hole golf course will cover 2.5
acres, featuring synthetic grass which will eliminate the
need for irrigation in this area.
York plans to replace the existing dirt road with an all-
weather, paved driveway which will allow exclusive
entrance from Palos Verdes Drive South.

Five years ago, when designer Alexander Gendell moved into a tiny 400 sq. ft
apartment in New York City, a light bulb went off. While Gendell did what he could
to use every single inch of space in the apartment, he recognized that what was
really needed didnt exist yet.
I realized nothing was out there that could help the apartment function the way
it needed to, Gendell said. Thats when I started thinking about folding furniture.
A few years later, Gendell decided to see what he could do about that, and in 2011
he founded Foliditure, a folding furniture company based in Hoboken, New Jersey.
Going back to the basics as he designed the early prototypes, Folditure now
makes modern tables and chairs. While the cricket table is designed to seat two
people, multiple tables can be clipped together to form a larger table 36 inches
wide by an unlimited length. Being able to open and close the table with one hand,
the cricket can lie perfectly fat or hang on a rod with four different top surface
color options.
When it comes to the leaf chair, tons of possibilities also exist. With three
different seat color options (platinum silver, olive green, red orange), customers can
select a color insert and purchase additional inserts if they so choose. Customers
can also choose from fve different backrest surfaces, including: exposed, silver
textured and red, white and black gloss.
I really wanted to challenge the concept of folding furniture, Gendell said.
Folding furniture is sort of the unwanted stepchild. I wanted to take the negatives
and really make folding furniture cool.
Evolving from their original prototypes, the companys tables and chairs still
have the same confguration but are now much lighter, smaller and thinner. The
chair, originally weighing 25 pounds, was unable to ft into a closet when folded and
was approximately 1.75 inches thick. Now the leaf chair is 15 pounds, hangs neatly
in a closet and is only 5/8 of an inch thick. Updating the design with mesh fabric
and a high back have also made the chair more comfortable.
People look at folding furniture and think of it as being uncomfortable. Im trying
to change that, Gendell said. I want the furniture to be eye-catching and sculptural.
Gendell is able to do that with the materials he uses. The tables and chairs
are made out of aluminum composite panel, with high-quality laminate and steel
hinges. The cricket table costs $1,680, while the leaf chair costs between $940-
$980, depending on the backrest surface used.
I have lots of different designs and hope that I am only scratching the surface,
Gendell said. The next years should be full of new designs.

Stressed-out beach cities residents know that

The Shade Hotel, only three blocks from the beach,
is one such local vacation treasure.
Get away
GG
GE T AWAY
WRITTEN BY HEIDI WALTER
The Shade Hotel was created by restaurateur Michael Zislis to be an ultra-luxurious, glamorous beach
retreat full of appealing details and elegance. As a luxury boutique hotel, The Shade mixes California
beach culture with modern sophistication. The shiny and sleek interior defned by stainless steel
and natural substances like river rock with running water and bamboo was designed by Christopher
Lowell and Larry Drasin of Drasin Design, Inc., with the intention of inspiring balance, harmony and
spiritual well-being. Of The Shade Hotels soothing 38 rooms, all equipped with Wi-Fi, Tempur-Pedic
beds, and in-room chromatherapy lighting, one is the ultimate relaxing staycation get away: The
Penthouse suite. It combines decadence with an essential harmony and sense of leisure.
An ultra-modern, oversized bathroom with stainless steel and clean, fresh, embroidered towels invites
relaxation in a spa-like atmosphere. The Shade Hotel has equipped each room with chromatherapy
lighting (also called color therapy); chromatherapy uses light to balance a persons energy and
emotions, enhancing the recuperative effects of a bathtub soak or a nap. The chromatherapy lighting
varies from hot pink, to blue, to purple, to green, and many other colors around the sanijet two-
person Jacuzzi bathtub fanked by marble and glossy surfaces.
Comfort and modernity rules supreme in the Penthouse living areas; chairs are squat and padded,
the art on the walls mirroring their square, calming simplicity. Angles are everywhere, but they arent
sharp: they are soft and natural, inspiring an appreciation for natural textures and substances like
gravel, stone, and silky wood. The cyclone freplaces are unconventional and extremely attractive;
glass cylinders contain the fre as it dances, enclosed and refecting in the surrounding mirrors.
The Shade Hotels common areas, such as the Zinc Lounge and Skydeck, are inviting and fun, but
youll be tempted to stay put in the luxurious and extravagant Penthouse while you recuperate, relax,
and ignore the stresses of the outside world.

Reclaimed, repurposed wood paneling has a uniquely refned and
weathered look. As grains become closer due to age (sometimes
hundreds of years), the rich tones and textures become more
apparent. Because these antique sections have already been
exposed to the stresses of weather and age, the wood wont warp
or crack after installation like new pieces can; every expansion and
contraction makes wood more durable as it ages and adds character
that new wood cant.
Reclaimed wood comes from old structures like grain silos, barns,
churches, Victorian homes, distilleries, and factories built before the
20th Century and can be found in many variations like Redwood,
Oak, Chestnut, Maple, Pine, Walnut, Beech, Hickory, Sycamore,
Cherry, Elm, and Teak.
Swirls on antique grains tell a story that those with an appreciation
for detail and vintage embellishment can appreciate. Warm and
subtle mixed woods combinations have an authentic character and
patina unique to reclaimed wood. Its currently used by architects
and designers as interior and exterior wall paneling as well as
for kitchen and bathroom surfaces, table and counter tops, and
patio decking. The possibilities for practical and aesthetic use are
practically endless
In addition to being beautiful, reclaimed wood is green, meaning
that recycling these elegant materials for use in modern, upscale
projects that need a rustic and textured touch relieves stress on the
environment. These stunning and vivid sections would otherwise
have ended up in a landfll, their potential for sophisticated and
modern dcor unnoticed until now.

I was referred to Regan by a well respected local agent,
who happens to be my neighbor. I had just gone through
the process of a refnance with a large national bank;
they were less than helpful, and they would not honor
the deal they had promised initially. After speaking
with Regan for just ten minutes, we had a plan that
was better than the bank, or the low cost guys from
the radio and TV. Regan is very knowledgeable, in my
experience more so than any other I contacted. The
biggest advantage he has over the rest is that he will not
be out worked! He continually provided me with service
and updates, without hassle, and gave me the best deal
possible. I strongly recommend Regan, and I know you
wont be disappointed.

Transparency and solutions are the foundation of my success, and I promise both to each and every client. While other lenders
focus on feel good services, I focus on the fnancing. In an industry that hasnt had a great reputation over the past few years,
I take pride in knowing that Ive gained the trust and respect of my clients. In todays market the most important thing
when obtaining a home loan is the mortgage professional you work with and the resources that they have at their disposal.
Whether you have a simple conventional purchase, or a complex Jumbo transaction, feel free to call me at anytime and fnd
out why Watermark is right for you.
I was referred to Regan by a well respected local agent,
who happens to be my neighbor. I had just gone through
the process of a refnance with a large national bank;
they were less than helpful, and they would not honor
the deal they had promised initially. After speaking
with Regan for just ten minutes, we had a plan that
was better than the bank, or the low cost guys from
the radio and TV. Regan is very knowledgeable, in my
experience more so than any other I contacted. The
biggest advantage he has over the rest is that he will not
be out worked! He continually provided me with service
and updates, without hassle, and gave me the best deal
possible. I strongly recommend Regan, and I know you
wont be disappointed.

Marketing that Yields Results

DIGS targeted audience media platform continues to prove itself as the best form of advertising in the
South Bay! I cant thank you enough for the incredible marketing package and high-defnition YouTube
video DIGS created for my home. I had more calls from the Cover Ad in DIGS Magazine than from realtors
on the MLS. As a realtor, I want exposure for the client and the best bang for the buck, and as a seller, I
want advertising that works!! DIGS WORKS! In fact, we sold the home in just over a week from a buyer
who saw the advertisement in DIGS. Thanks again, DIGS!
