Got gangs? Hope not. I'm happy to be living in Irvine!

I just spent an enjoyable day at a school about half an hour from peaceful Woodbridge.

Mike & I were there to cheer our youngest on, in her first dance competition.

As we entered the school, I couldn't help but feel happy that our kids don't have to attend a school where there are signs warning that activities would be monitored by cameras and that that all are subject to search for weapons.

I'm not sure what effect the constant reminders of gangs and drugs have on the kids, but I''m sure the signs must be doing some good.

Nevertheless, I sure am glad that we don't see signs like these in safe Irvine!!

Hello First Team - G'bye Century 21.

I've got exciting news.

Yesterday I joined First Team Real Estate, Inc. in Woodbridge, Irvine!!

First Team and I have created a unique partnership wherein all resources, marketing, advertising, and administrative support are at my disposal.

I'm already using the internet a LOT for marketing homes and finding buyers, and this isn't going to change, but one of the things I'm particularly looking forward to, is increased advertising in the NEWSPAPERS.

Sure, newspaper circulations have dropped a LOT the past few years, but over a MILLION people still get the paper. I thought - why not put my seller's homes in front of these people more than I've done in the past?

Our print advertising is now going to be in EVERY major newspaper in Orange County and Southern California with full page color ads.

A few of the papers First Team advertises in on a WEEKLY basis are Orange County Register, L.A. Times and Irvine World News.

Take a look at my latest Woodbridge lease listing... NOT the normal rental!

It's a Summervale model 2-bedroom home which has been stunningly upgraded and tastefully decorated.

11 Winterhaven is a ONE-LEVEL condo, located on a cul-de-sac in the Seasons tract, (that's the tract known for its charming white picket fences.)

Wood floors and PLANTATION SHUTTERS throughout. Decorator paint. Recessed lights. UPGRADED LIGHT FIXTURES AND CABINETRY. The doors have glass inserts and updated hardware.

GOURMET KITCHEN. Top-of-the-line STAINLESS STEEL appliances. Caesar-stone counter-tops. Mosaic backsplash. Dark cabinets.

Whoever rents this home will enjoy the BOISE SURROUND-SOUND system while watching TV in the open-plan living and dining areas. There's a fireplace in the living room.

Both bedrooms have ORGANIZED CLOSETS. The master bedroom has a glass sliding-door opening to the private brick-paved patio. You have to see the tiled shower, and the HIS & HERS ABOVE-COUNTER BASINS in the master bathroom.

Like just about all over Woodbridge, you can walk to parks, pools shopping & schools. I've said it before, but you know that the Woodbridge amenities can't be beat!

To get here from Barranca Pkwy, turn onto E. Yale Loop, and cross over Alton Pkwy. Turn left at Springbrook N. Turn left at Fallcrest. Fallcrest turns right and becomes Winterhaven.
