Rain in Long Beach, CA

Today is one of those days that makes it hard for me to remember where I am living. After years of living in the Northwest I forget about rainy afternoons. Today we have gone from a dark, cold, windy rainy day to just windy with sunshine.

I moved to Long Beach six years ago to leave the rain of Seattle. In Seattle people drive in the rain almost everyday... but not in Long Beach. On an outing this afternoon to meet with a Realtor who is joining my company I was amazed at how people drive. Don't they know it is dangerous to drive fast in standing water? Don't they know their car can stall out? What is in that puddle anyway and how deep is it? It may be fun to splash someone along the road.. but wait until it happens to you.

Yet this is how many people take life on. They even try to buy real estate the same way. Almost like being in the car without directions. To buy in this market you need a competent agent to guide you through the puddles, bumps and hurdles that get in our way. To help make sure you arrive at your new home safely.

Our Real Estate environment here in Long Beach is up and down. It is far from being a normal market with all the short sales and bank owned properties on the market. Yet even in this market there are many homes that are regular sales. It it taking time, patience and a lot of dedication.

As a member of Top 5 Real Estate Network I have the skills to drive you though this storm...
