Forget Carmageddon, Enjoy A Free Concert!

We are days away from experiencing Carmageddon here in LA this weekend, but if you are looking for something to do in the South Bay that does not require the use of the 405, here is something to consider.

The city of Gardena is holding a free outdoor concert and ice cream social on July 16. Here is the link to the story in the Daily Breeze for more information.

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.

If you want to learn more, please call us or come visit us at our office at 3521 Lomita Blvd., Suite 100, Torrance.
