Featured image credit: Stagecoach It’s almost that time again, partner. Grab your ten-gallon hat, your tightest pair of Wranglers, and dust off those kitshickers… errr, you know what we mean. On April 26, the 2024 Stagecoach Festival descends on Indio for a weekend of the best in country music and beyond. The hootenanny happens at […]
For a city that is decidedly not in Great Britain, Los Angeles is home to a surprising number of British pubs. Now we know what you’re thinking: can we really call an establishment a British pub if it’s in California? We suppose it’s a bit like trying to find an authentic Mexican restaurant in London. […]
Featured image credit: mosaictilehouse_venice Everyone has been transfixed at some point or another by the cascading colors and shapes of a kaleidoscope. But living in one? That takes a special kind of person. Or, in the case of the Mosaic Tile House in Venice, a special couple of people. Not content to just create art, […]
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 […]
Updated: April 2024 It’s May 18th and everyone knows what that means! Okay, so you probably don’t, but allow us to illuminate you: it’s International Museum Day! As the name suggests, this day is aimed at honoring the spirit of museums the world over. And what better way to do that than list off some […]
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water. Southern California beaches could be a bit riskier this summer. A state-of-the-art shark alert system manned and monitored by a skeleton team in Long Beach is running out of funding. With California unable to contribute, researchers are turning to the private sector […]
Now these are some numbers that look familiar. The housing market has spent a couple of months in the wake of the holidays stretching out of hibernation. 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.
