I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Mine was (as ever) over the top. We spend it with John's first wife Joanne and their children and grandchildren and our children.
Today, Friday I am working and taking a listing. It feels as if the market is just going to explode out of the starting gate in January. Okeefe closed this week, finally. The Lenders are impossible (just because they can be) with partial doc revisions and conditions that are really silly ....alll...the...way...down... to the wire..ugh!
As we ramp up for Christmas let's not forget the reason for the season and maybe as a gift to the heavens commit several random acts of kindness, anonymously!

Whew what a day...
Well, finally the world has learned that Cashin Company has been acquired by Coldwell Banker.
Another wonderful family owned local Real Estate company has been swallowed by the 21st century version of Jaws....
I (not surprising to you all) march very much to my own drummer. My transition to Sereno Group is something that I had contemplated for years. I never would have left Cashin had it not been sold. Cashin was truly a family company. Skip Cashin and Chuck Aloo are generous and caring men...in a world of self centered suits. God bless Cashin and what it stood for. I had a wonderful home there for...wow 7 years? Before that was Seville which was sold to CB as well...thank God I am getting my Brokers License...they were so very, very good and kind to me.
So tomorrow begins a new journey. I am used to it. Our family company Turner Associates in Laguna Beach was sold (not without typical Real Estate drama). Then Cornish and Carey where John Lazar was an owner Broker...then my beloved Seville and now Cashin. My thoughts are with Skip Cashin really because this is a huge transition...it is a moment in time where I think that we should all stop and think and say a quiet thank you. All of the wrangling, wiggling and jostling goes on among all of the lemmings and that is just noise. This is really about the legacy of Skip and his father Emmit Cashin and the permanent imprint that they left on our industry. It is about John Lazar, Jim Cornish and Roger Rickard (like them or not) that made changes and contributions to RE...it is about all of the Seville ladies, especially my beloved Alice Nuzzo who raised the bar and created Seville. That is what we should all be thinking about; the legacies of these incredible professionals that set the standard that most of us in RE live by today.
I will keep you all updated on our changes which I look forward to. With age comes acceptance and even enjoyment in change.
