Tonys Blog
One of the smartest words of advice I received from a successful real estate investor was to always make your purchase when the market is showing steady signs of upward growth and not while most are looking for the bottom. In other words, making money in real estate is mostly about steady growth in a relatively risk free industry not about trying to maximize margins while speculating market direction. And because this theory plays true fundamentally amongst consumers (ie less risk equals a better investment), were really seeing impressive sales values in homes since overpaying or bidding up has become the norm in the new South Bay marketplace. In fact, more and more buyers in this market are funding their real estate purchase with high loan to value loans again since the return on investment is higher than the cost of money. The good news is that this all turns in to more inventory in the marketplace with Sellers ready to unload assets while the market is stronger. The bad news is some of the smartest investors have entered the marketplace again so the demand increased just as well.

Neigborhood Church
One of the more spectacular buildings in Palos Verdes Estates is the mansion constructed in 1928 for J.J. Haggarty of Haggartys Department Stores. In addition to the magnificent villa, Haggarty also built a pier extending from his property into the ocean for the purpose of launching his boats. False rumors claimed he

used it for smuggling imports into the country. This pier, just to the south of the Swim Club, can be seen in old photographs of the Swim Club. The mansion was never occupied by the Haggartys, as Mrs. Haggarty preferred to stay at the family estate on Adams Blvd. closer in to the city of Los Angeles. Mr. Haggarty died in 1935, and the mansion was vacant for many years, and became to be rumored as haunted. Sometime in the

early 1940s, an eccentric inventor purchased the property, and furnished it with a large collection of nude statues and paintings. Finally, the Neighborhood Church acquired the property in 1950 for only $70,000.

Palos Verdes Estates Gatehouse CONTRIBUTING WRITERS


Pamela Corante-Hansen, Denise Kano, Quinn Roberts, Heidi Walter
This stone, castle-like structure, which is at 4420 Via Valmonte, near the entrance to Palos Verdes Estates on Via Valmonte, just up from Hawthorne Blvd., was built in 1926 as a guards house for what was intended to be a gated entrance to the new Palos Verdes Project. The structure is a two story 15 foot diameter round building with 18 inch thick walls. It has two floors; a bedroom and bathroom area upstairs and a living room with a stone fireplace and a kitchen downstairs. This structure was known as the Stone Tower,

Tower House and the Mirlo Gate Lodge (Via Valmonte was originally named Via Mirlo, was renamed Hawthorne Ave. prior to Hawthorne Blvd. being extended south over the Peninsula Hill to the ocean, and then renamed Via Valmonte). Title was taken to this structure by Palos Verdes Estates in 1939 when the city was incorporated, and is leased by the city as a residence.

Malaga Cove Library


The Malaga Cove Library opened on June 3, 1930 as the Palos Verdes Library and Art Gallery. In keeping with the vision for the new community that was being established on the Peninsula, the library benefitted from some of the best design thinking of its time. The building architect, Myron Hunt, was already known for his work on the Rose Bowl, the Pasadena Public Library, and other area buildings. The landscape architects, the Olmsted Brothers, were not only the sons of Frederick Law Olmsted of Central Park fame but well-known in their own right.

- SUNNY McBRIDE

I never understood how complex the job of being a realtor could be until I worked with Maureen Megowan. She worked tirelessly to assist me before, during and after the sale of my home and the purchase of my new home. It took a month to prepare my home to be put on the market. She orchestrated the remodeling and staging of my home so that it showed like a jewel. Closing the sale required a delicate dance. She was the force which made it all happen. The purchase of my new home required creative financing. She helped to guide me along that path. I cannot thank Maureen enough for the endless hours she spent helping me and my family. I highly refer Maureen Megowan and would absolutely use her again.

ON THE COVER
VILLA BALINA VIA PANORAMA
Villa Balina, originally built as a family legacy, was constructed on one of the most preeminent streets of the Peninsula. Offering a Pacific Ocean view resembling its streets namesake, it is ensconced on a hillside surrounded by magical trees planted throughout the years. This residence has an awe-inspiring appeal of an ocean view estate that if one could, one should take the opportunity to own at least once in their lifetime. The front exterior features an expansive semi-circular drive, a stately and custom wrought iron gated entry area with fountain, a priceless porte cochere and elevated arched walkways. The traditional floor plan and amenities were years ahead of their time with all 5 bedrooms upstairs, and the first floor featuring a view from each living space with a Victorian fireplace, a huge hearth fireplace and perfectly placed French doors. The completely private pool is immediately adjacent to the family room. Also, what quite possibly could be the most special part of the home is the downstairs office and entertaining media area which leads to the grand outdoor patio overlooking the entire Santa Monica Bay. This home has hosted everyone and everything from significant franchise decisions of national importance to the most resplendent of weddings.

OUR INTEREST RATES MAY NOT BE RISING, BUT HOME PRICES ARE
Interest rates are not going anywhere for a while, according to economists at Zillow and HSH. But home prices are definitely going up. Freddie Mac confirms that mortgage rates are in a holding pattern, while Dataquick verifies that the median home price in Southern California has risen 21% since February 2012. Buyers purchased more high-priced homes (over $1 Million) in our coastal cities, 36% of them with cash, and bargains are getting hard to find. If youre seeking to purchase and are worried that you cant find a suitable property due to the low supply in the South Bay, never fear: The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and Forbes all concur that as prices go up, more homes will go on the market because selling will seem suddenly much more attractive.

New Developments
Forbes just released their 2013-2014 commercial real estate predictions in late February confirming a steady growth in new construction developments in 2012 with a forecast of continued steady growth through this next year. Some of our local investors and developers are part of that growth with exciting new major commercial developments in the works; these projects could infuse our communities with an influx of economic growth and prosperity. Raju Chhabria, who also sells residential luxury real estate through Shorewood Realtors, is planning a 30-room boutique hotel called CLASH at 1429 Hermosa Ave. in Hermosa Beach, near the new headquarters of his brand new commercial development and management company South Bay CRE. Jim Yorks Catalina View property in Rancho Palos Verdes covers over 94 acres and he plans to turn it into a full-fledged commercial event space; hell be booking weddings beginning in August of 2013. York has already built a partial golf course on this the property, known previously as Point View, which could also include an organic farm, a full Astroturf golf course, and other amenities in the future.

The real estate team of Edler | DeRenzis includes partners Kitty Edler, Rick Edler, and Darin DeRenzis, as well as agents Ed DeRenzis, Bill DAlvia, Erika Medina and Kit Bais. Centered on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, their market is the entire South Bay and beach cities communities. Whats most rewarding about being able to be a part of the South Bay community real estate market? Watching people enjoy their homes and their lives, says the Team. Watching people write the stories of their lives. We help people achieve their dreams and create happy places to live. Who wouldnt enjoy doing that? Kitty, the matriarch of the group (shes Ricks mother and business partner) lends her years of experience to son Rick and partner Darin. Her guidance has helped Darin and Rick to grow as members of the community and as agents; they learned how agents are an integral part of the local community and the lives of their clients. Darin says, For the last 30 years, Kitty has developed lifelong friendships through her work; not just clients. She takes care of her clients like family. Rick and I both learned that from her. Kitty, Rick, and Darin concur that property values are going up, up, up properties that are well priced, in turnkey condition and in good locations, are receiving multiple offers and selling at or above asking price. This is the same for properties under $1 Million as well as high-end luxury homes. According to The Edler Group, the South Bay is attracting new homeowners at such a phenomenal rate because of how attractive it is as a community. Our entire South Bay is such a fantastic place to live, they say, and each area has unique attributes that appeal to different people. Various lifestyles, schools, weather, entertainment, etc are all what the South Bay is made of. The Palos Verdes Peninsula has been the focus of some recent real-estate related events, such as the Measure A and Measure B votes in early March 2013, as well as changes in local commercial properties such as Jim Yorks commercial event space Catalina View. The Edler Group feels that Rancho Palos Verdes and Portuguese Bend will be positively affected by Yorks new project to start holding large-scale events and to reimagine the private road up to the property. We feel that Jim Yorks commercial event space will be a positive for the local community, says the Group. While some people worry about traffic, it is certainly less than when there was a large amusement park there (Marine Land).

WRITTEN BY: QUIN N R OBERTS

The Marshall Fridge isnt your average refrigerator. Born to rock, the one-of-a-kind fridge features authentic Marshall Amp parts that include: logos, fret cloths and brass finished faceplates. With such authentic features, it has garnered interest from Rock Gods to Average Joes across the globe. The idea was born many years ago out of the simple idea of thinking it would be cool to have an amp in the home as a beer fridge, Marshall Fridge CEO Peri Luel said. From the beginning, we wanted to take the key components off the amp and put it on the fridge. Managing to do just that, Luel and a few of his colleagues got serious about the idea in the summer of 2011 and began selling the refrigerators just over a year ago. One of the companys first customers was guitar legend Peter Frampton. Other famous musicians have also fallen in love with the fridge, including Slash from Guns N Roses and Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey from The Who. Townshend and Daltrey even autographed a Marshall Fridge and auctioned it off to benefit Teen Cancer America, raising over $5,000 in the process. The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland has also begun talking to the company about being involved in its annual marketing calendar to see how the two can integrate their brand and ideas.

The core of what we do is all about authenticity and quality, Luel said. We are relentless is making sure every detail is correct. All of that hard work happens in Morrisburg, Ontario, where the company assembles each fridge and ships it to various locations throughout the United States, Europe and the UK. Available just in black right now, the fridge costs $399.99 and has dimensions that allow it to fit in almost any space. Keeping things cool everywhere from the studio to the dorm room, the fridge is 22.5 inches deep, 20.5 inches wide and 32 inches tall. Along with a freezer and adjustable shelves, the Marshall Fridge also has a reversible door and adjustable front leg. Ecstatic to see the company grow and evolve, Luel said hes focused on keeping the traditional look of the fridge. It really has been overwhelming to see the response people have had, Luel said. There really isnt anything else like it out there.

By far one of the most unique homes ever constructed in Redondo Beach and possibly the entire beach cities is about to hit the market. Most recently this home has become known as the Redondo Beach Magic Castle as it was acquired by two magicians from the original builder of the home. The previous owner, who was born in Europe, decided to create his dream home as he called it his Dream Castle. Todays owners further enhanced the home with many unique magical features. The home is now ready for a new owner to work their magic and add, enhance, and reshape to whatever your dream may be. Currently, you feel like youre transformed to a different time and dimension when you walk through the gigantic wood doors into a two story great room. Featuring 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 6 fireplaces and lots of surprises throughout, this may be your only chance to experience such a unique property; we look forward to seeing you there.

Thank you to Wells Fargo for their partnership.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT KAMINSKY REAL ESTATE GROUP

Ed Kaminsky
I knew Ed was one of the most active agents in the area, so when we started working with him I thought he might be too busy for us. I was pleasantly surprised to find out he was there for us morning, noon and night, every step of the way. I dont think he sleeps. He is organized, a great negotiator and his team was spectacular. - Paul K., Manhattan Beach

Tina Kaminsky
My wife and I had already spent three or four months monitoring the online listing sites and visiting open houses on our own before we decided to enlist the services of a buyers agent. We felt confident that Tina and Ed understood what we were looking for and over the next few months they worked with us, developing our understanding of the local market and helping us hone our own priorities as we visited listing after listing. They brought us an opportunity that checked off several of our must-haves, but was located in a section of Manhattan Beach that we had not seriously considered. After spending a few hours in the neighborhood, we knew it was perfect. We put together an offer over the weekend and although we found ourselves in a multiple bid situation, by Thursday we were in escrow. - M. Fransciso, Manhattan Beach

Becky Davidson
If youre looking for an amazing Realtor, Becky Davidson is it! My husband and I just bought our first home and couldnt be more thrilled. Beckys professionalism, knowledge of the market and enthusiasm made the process go very smoothly. Right from our first meeting, I knew she understood our needs and was totally committed to helping us find our perfect new home. Becky always made herself available to us by email, phone or text. We never had to wait long to get an answer to our questions or a follow up on an issue. Another quality that makes her a stand out agent is that she never pressured us into the wrong home. Who needs the added stress of second guessing such an important decision? If we are ever in the market again, we will definitely be calling Becky. - Ivonne and Sal Huertas, Redondo Beach

STACI BROOKS
When we decided it was time to buy our first home to support our growing family, we really didnt know where to begin. We couldnt have been more fortunate to connect with Staci, who not only found us the perfect house but also helped us through every step of the process. We had many specific needs, including space for a home office, a quiet street, a house that required very little maintenance (we arent very handy!) and she found us the needle-in-ahaystack that fulfilled them all. She both brought us to a fantastic house and helped us get a great price as well. We love it and will absolutely be recommending her to our friends in the South Bay who are buying a home. - Ryan Leach & Lydia Veilleux

St. Cross
ST. CROSS EPISCOPAL CHURCH
H E R M O S A B E AC H S O L D E S T C H U R C H
WRITTEN BY DENISE KANO
If you drive a little too fast along Monterey Avenue, just south of Pier Avenue, you Monterey was built in 1952. This spot was formerly called, Summit School, and proved to be the ideal spot for the larger congregation. It was reported that at the homes with the intent of helping with the cost of construction. The first service in January of 1953. The new building consisted of reinforced brick and steel and of a modified Gothic design. The seating capacity is 750, which includes the nave, balcony, and the adjoining chapel. The former church was still in use for church school instruction until the second sold to the City of Hermosa Beach in hopes that it could be converted into a library, but this plan was discarded on advice that such a facility would be unsafe due to the buildings age. Demolition of the building was ordered and at a cost of $2,300; just $100 more than its original cost of construction. Over the years, numerous individuals have been instrumental in making St. Cross a special place. One unique contribution, as relayed by Patsy Brierley, member of the Church History Committee, involves the Reverend Paul, who presided at St. Cross for 17 years. As you look around the beautifully-detailed church interior, you will see that the last depiction of Christs life shows Christ surfing on a cross -- a delightful nod to Reverend Paul for his contributions to the church as well as his love of surfing. This is one of the many special touches in this historic and charming church.

The Earliest Days


The first church services were not held at the current Monterey location, but surprisingly at the post office on Pier Avenue. Sarah Alice Bean, commonly referred to as the mother of St. Cross, first came to Hermosa Beach in 1901 and was the postmistress (as opposed to postmaster) of Hermosa Beach, and also Hermosas first government employee. It was at this post offices back room where Ms. Bean, along with the Reverend Charles de Garmo, held services and Sunday school. Hermosa Beach only had approximately 300 residents at this time. Eventually, it became clear that a larger space was needed for the growing congregation, and local contractor James W. Rodaway, who had moved from London, England, to Hermosa Beach, took up the task of designing a new church. The location of 14th and Manhattan Avenue was chosen and purchased for $5,000 in 1909 from the local school district. The church was built as a cost of $2,200, and the subsequent day of dedication was on July 11, 1909.

P HOTO G RAP HY BY PAUL J ONAS ON

IN THE KITCHEN WITH...


ANGELO CALDERAN
of Hostaria Piave in Redondo Beach

If your vision of Italian food is splattered with pasta in red sauce, think again. Angelo Calderan, host and owner of Hostaria Piave in Redondo Beach, has taken Italian cuisine to a new level of refinement, featuring elegant presentations of classic dishes from Italys Veneto region: Wafer-thin octopus carpaccio, panroasted monkfish with fennel, delicate beef medallions in a mushroom sauce. A native of the Veneto, Calderan lives by the motto, he who drinks well, eats well. South Bay Digs caught up with Calderan on the eve of a special wine pairing dinner to learn how food and wine can inspire a lively discussion.

IN THE KITCHEN

South Bay Digs: Its a typical day at home. What are you cooking? Angelo Calderan: Something that brings me comfort. Being Italian, it will always involve some kind of pasta dish. If time allows, Ill put something on the grill. Grilling makes me feel like Im somewhere else. It reminds me of my childhood in Italy and how my mother and grandfather would start the fire early so that we could grill something for dinner later on. SBD: When it comes to cooking, do you do anything differently at home than you would at the restaurant? AC: Definitely. At home I cook according to the occasion. It will either be very simple or very elaborate. By elaborate I mean the number of courses, not the preparation. So for a quick gettogether, Ill prepare maybe three courses, but for a bigger celebration there may be four or five courses. SBD: Speaking of courses, in Italy pasta is served as a course but never as a main dish like it is here. What are your thoughts on this American custom? AC: Pasta is always meant to go with something else, which is why there is such a variety of sauces to serve with it. A meal with several courses allows your senses to be tickled by many different flavors. You usually have a basic pasta before the main course so that it doesnt clash with the other flavors. SBD: Do you do a lot of entertaining at home? AC: I would say about eight to 10 events a year. Ill host the big holidays like Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas for the family; the other events are with friends who have a passion for food and an open mind. We enjoy intense discussions about the food. You need a thick skin to sit at our table because we like to argue about wines and the way they are made, and food and the way its prepared. Not all of our friends cook, but its great when people have their own opinions. It makes for an interesting debate that always ends nicely. SBD: What are some of your favorite dishes to make when you have company? AC: Ill make cured fish if I have time, otherwise I like to work with cuttlefish because its so versatile. It can be grilled, stewed or braised, depending on the mood or season. SBD: Youre married to quite the wine expert. Whats your philosophy on food and wine pairing?

AC: I think that if you want to be rigid about it, youre not going to have fun. We like to drink many different wines at a time. Thats why we like large groups of guests so that we can open several bottles. Wine can display different nuances and profiles from one dish to another. Theres the right way to go about pairing, and some people tend to abide by it, but theres always something in one dish that will go well with many different wines. Its why you always need a lot of glassware!

On the Menu
LE CAPESANTE CON CANNELLINI E SPECK (SCALLOPS WITH CANNELLINI BEANS AND SPECK)
(SERVES 4)

A favorite on the Hostaria Piave menu, this appetizer


SBD: Whats the most common mistake home cooks make? AC: Getting inspiration from a recipe or chef you heard about is fine, but you still need to make the dish your own. You need to put your soul into the preparation. When you just follow a recipe, theres no feeling involved. Youre trying to do the same thing that other people are doing and that creates a lot of pressure theres no joy in it. Get inspired and make it your own. SBD: Good advice. What should home cooks remember when entertaining at home? AC: Having an island in your kitchen is a nice way to keep people entertained while youre cooking. If you dont have an island, try to work things so that you wont be isolated in the kitchen while everyone else is having a good time. I was lucky enough to design my own kitchen, so its wide open. Everyone tends to congregate there because thats where I keep the wine, its where I dish out the appetizers, and its a relaxing place to hang around. SBD: Are there any secrets or tricks of the trade youd like to share? AC: Of course. When grilling or preparing fish or meat, its important to marinate it well ahead of time. It allows the dressing to add more intense flavor. Also, some pasta sauces should be made in advance because they actually do taste better the next day. And never ask your guests to bring something. You dont know how the dish will be made. Youre already busy cooking, and if someone brings something, you have to stop what youre doing and look for a tray. Then if its a tray you rarely use, you have to wash it. All those little details create more stress. Thats why I like people to bring nothing. SBD: Red wine or white? AC: Why not both?

is an elegant fusion of land and sea. Speck, a lightly smoked ham from Italys Alto Adige region, adds texture and smokiness to succulent scallops.

INGREDIENTS:
8 oz. dry cannellini beans (pre-soaked for 6 to 8 hours) 4 carrots 4 celery sticks 2 white onions 6 tablespoons olive oil 8 large scallops (U10) Salt and pepper to taste 4 slices of speck (lightly smoked ham from Italys Alto Adige region) 4 rosemary sticks

Method:
Soak cannellini beans in cold water (6 to 8 hours). Coarsely chop celery, carrot and white onions and place them in a bowl. Add 4 tablespoons of the olive oil and toss. Transfer the chopped vegetables to a pan and heat on high for about 2 - 4 minutes. Add the soaked beans and water, reduce heat to medium and cook until beans are tender. Season scallops with salt and pepper to taste. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet. Carefully place scallops in skillet and braise on both sides. Remove the scallops and finish in the oven for 5 minutes at 450 degrees. Set skillet aside. Heat both sides of the speck in a non-stick pan until crispy. In the skillet used to braise the scallops, add the cooked beans and a tablespoon or two of water. Stir and cook until thoroughly warm and not too thick. Add more water if needed. Place the beans in a serving bowl, top with the scallops and place crispy speck on top. Garnish with rosemary sticks.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SHAWN to anyone who is thinking

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 confident 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.

Concrete
Not Just For Patios Anymore
WRI T T EN BY: HEI D I WALT ER
Concrete is not just for the outdoors. Today, sophisticated concrete blends can be used to modernize the interiors of kitchens and countertops while creating synergy between smooth, hard surfaces and the rough tough of natural materials. Steel serenely coexists with gleaming and be-speckled pebblemixed concrete, polished and sealed to a glossy, marble-like finish. Bringing nature into a concrete kitchen countertop with materials like natural-grained wood adds calmness and warmth to the living space, while mosaics and inlays distinguish the surface with a detailed, deliberate beauty. Found objects, carvings, or inscriptions can be added to the colored concrete to express individual tastes. Concrete sinks with jade-colored, luminous inlay on a dark, patterned plane fuse art with function, making the countertops both smooth and textured at the same time and emanating an inner glow.

TOTAL TRANSPARENCY
With the rates that we offer, there is nothing to hide. We provide our clients honest answers, sound advice and exclusive programs.

Recent Client Testimonial:


I recently purchased a house and used Regan to handle all details of the loan.This was my second time using Regan and I again could not be happier in terms of the level of service, quality of advice, and cost. I was initially referred to him by a friend and I have referred him to multiple people including my real estate broker who was equally impressed with his level of service. Regan is great to work with and I would recommend to anyone who needs a real estate loan!

- Jason Manhattan Beach

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 financing. 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 find out why Watermark is right for you.

Marketing that Yields Results

in just over a week from a buyer who saw the advertisement in DIGS...

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-definition 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!

For the ongoing collection of life...

Unique properties occupy a different place in the world than do other homes. Their appeal extends beyond their immediate locales to a cosmopolitan market of discerning buyers as likely found on another continent as in the same city. I take great pride in using my considerable resources, global connections and deep roots within the Los Angeles Architectural market to perfectly unite qualified people with exceptional properties. To those who value the unique, we possess an intimate knowledge of the local market and specialize in homes of architectural distinction.

Truly extraordinary properties are different at every level, and they require real estate services that are as well.

Your home extraordinary; shouldnt your representation be the same?
