 The climate is, I think, the best on the planet! As a 15-year resident, I can only tell you that this is a wonderful place to live. There are several districts of Santa Monica: Montana Avenue, a trendy & fun shopping and eating district. 3rd Street Promenade, a fun and exhilarating stretch of shops, restaurants, movie theaters and a major mall! It has street artists dancing and playing great music on every block! Main Street is a wonder, more low-key district. It, too, has great shops and restaurants. We are a small city with our own government and public transportation system. Our northern border is with Pacific Palisades and Brentwood; Our southern border is with Venice; Our eastern border is with West LA and our western border is with the Pacific Ocean! We have had a tremendous influx of the entertainment industry which has given a shot-in-the-arm to our already robust economy. Our much-sought-after schools are, in part, responsible for our perpetually strong real estate market.
Working With An Agent >Skillful Negotiations
Negotiating the sale or purchase of a home is a highly creative endeavor that can be stressful at times. Even though the process is not usually an adversarial one, there are issues which may require a compromise from each party, such as the price, the date of possession, and the condition of the property at closing.
It helps to know why people are relocating. If a home is part of an estate, for example, it may evoke childhood memories and intense emotions for the person who is overseeing the sale. If the sellers are in the middle of a divorce, their mood will be different than someone who has just won the lottery and is moving to their dream home. Buyers who have been transferred and have to leave their dream home behind will feel differently from someone who feels that your home is their "ideal". One of a real estate agent's most important jobs is managing all of the relationships in the transaction. These situations don't often get really difficult, but when they do, agent's don't take it personally.
