Few cities highlight the bond between humans and animals quite like Los Angeles. Have you really been to LA until you’ve stood behind an influencer cradling her Frenchie in the line at the Trader Joe’s on Vine?

It’s that time of year again at JohnHart; a time when one real estate agent is elevated by their peers to heights we’ve already known they’ve attained, but were just too humble to admit it. We won’t say it’s a time when transactions don’t matter, but maybe a time when they’re not all that matter. […]
