Farming The Market

One of the reasons why I love the summer is all of the fresh fruits and produce that are available. What makes the purchasing process of these tasty items even more fun is when you can find them at a famer's market.

We are very lucky where just about every city in the South Bay has at least one Farmers Market set up each week. In Hermosa Beach, Friday is the day where you can find scrumptious foods to make healthy meals with. The Hermosa Farmers Market is located at Valley Drive and 11th Street from 12 noon to 4pm.

Farmers Market Friday also takes place in Redondo Beach in in Riviera Village from 3 pm to 7 pm.

Torrance residents have two Farmers Market days each week. First on Tuesday and then on Saturday morning. Both are held at the parking lot of Wilson Park.

Manhattan Beach has their Farmers Market on Tuesdays from 11-5 at 13th St. & Morningside Drive.

Some of these Farmers Markets will have organic foods, hot foods and you may even see a gourmet food truck there as well.

WHY USE AN “ATTORNEY ASSISTED” BROKERAGE COMPANY

The purchase and/or sale of a home is generally the most significant financial transaction most of us will ever be involved in.  As you may already know, the amount of paperwork is very extensive and involves many legally complicated forms that you will need to understand.  Unless you have legal help, your dream house can quickly become a nightmare.

An “attorney assisted” brokerage company simply means that the company is owned and operated by a California licensed attorney who is also a licensed real estate broker.  The most obvious benefit to using an attorney assisted brokerage company is your peace of mind in knowing that your transaction is being reviewed by a real estate attorney who is available to answer your questions and who will assist and guide you through the legal quagmire of negotiating the transaction and the contracts and associated disclosures involved in your real estate transaction.  Also, unlike a traditional real estate brokerage firm, at Oakwood we will never engage in “dual” representation (i.e., representing both the buyer and seller of a home), which insures that all of our attention and loyalty is to only you.  Best of all, we do this at no extra charge to you.  Our compensation, including our attorney/broker’s time is paid from the same commission paid by the seller.
