Our founder, broker, and CEO Harout Keuroghlian said it best: “Making money in real estate in the last 10 years was like going to the beach, throwing a rock into the water, and then being proud of hitting the water.” Many real estate agents will need to be reminded of this over the coming months.

It’s almost that time again. A point when the city itself seems to blossom in a violet-blue phantasmagoria of botanical beauty. A spectacle as aggressive in its vibrance as it is delicate in its serendipitous sensibility. Just as a watercolor bleeds beyond the audacity of a penciled boundary, the languidly waving blossoms seem to blend […]
For those not born in LA, the first moments of arriving in the city typically result in some cognitive dissonance. Especially the closer you get to Hollywood. Yes, the tourist hub of the city is a bit more in-your-face and raw than the silver screen leads you to believe. But you can’t fault anyone for […]

With California unable to contribute, researchers are turning to the private sector […]

But March’s nearly straight run of surges brings us back to very familiar territory. Maybe painfully familiar for buyers. It was a month that saw neighborhoods surging further […]
Are you having deja vu? We’re having deja vu. But it’s understandable; Spanish Colonial Revival architecture is awfully similar to Mission Revival architecture, which we covered in our Los Angeles Architecture 101 series last May. And somewhere, an architect is fantasizing about strangling us for the oversimplification. In our defense, experts will surely agree that […]
All photos: Top Billing Entertainment One could be forgiven for wanting to lapse into song and dance when strolling down the topiary-lined streets of Glendora Village. But despite its splendor, Glendora is far from a Hollywood musical (literally about 35 miles give or take). Yet, there is one hallowed building where you’re not only free […]
As technology-based as our industry can be, it’s no wonder we found a way to hop on the artificial intelligence craze. But could AI feasibly replace flesh-and-blood real estate agents? It’s a question you may want to pose to Luxora. That’s the name Las Vegas’s Luxury Realty Group gave one of its newest recruits: a […]
