Newport Heights 3 Bedroom for $625,000!

Newport Beach 2 Bedroom for $399,000!

Happy Monday!

The Real Estate search can often be tiring and well somewhat frustrating. I would like to share with you the my words of encouragement to lift you through the paper work, signatures and time you feel you are pouring into buying or selling. I began remodeling my home last year and since then it has been a never ending project. There is always something to be improved or added, but the time we spend sharing it with our friends and family makes it all worth it. You make a house your home and you welcome others to join in your enjoyment. So have an end of summer BBQ or a simple get together and share your home with others. The memories created and shared are worth it!
