Our success is only as great as the experience of each and every client.
Dear Christian, I wanted to take a moment and thank you for your heroics in executing a $2.1M mortgage approval, loan and close within less than 10 days. As you know, we were pre-approved by another lender for months on a challenging short sale only to find out at the eleventh hour that the lender ultimately would not approve our loan. This left us very little time to re-start the process as the impending short sale was nearing a firm foreclosure date. However, through your efforts we were able to process the entire loan and close on our new dream home in less than 10-days. You knew exactly what was required and were always three steps ahead anticipating the lenders likely requests. Without your experience, relationships, professionalism and quick actions we would have lost our new home. Thank you so much for your assistance. Please feel free to have any potential clients contact me as a reference.
Kind regards, - James M. Haefner, Chief Operating Officer | A T H E N I X

TONYS BLOG
My Facebook account lights up with unbelievable sunset shots from locals this time of year and it makes me realize Im not the only one who truly appreciates the fall season in the South Bay. Sure there isnt droves of people laying out on the beach in the brisk fall weather but isnt the view of the coastline another significant reason we all live here? And with the advent of picture phones and social media, I just love seeing someone else say I love the South Bay with a simple shot posted to Facebook. Its also the time of year Im getting ready for the 2012 selling season and most Realtors I know are doing the same. Theres no better time than the fall to shoot photos of your upcoming listings with the gorgeous backdrop of the crisp skies and Ive even noticed difficulty booking my photographer as a result. It seems were all excited about the 2012 Real Estate market and I urge you to contact your Realtor to talk about your interests... lots of us have special off market offerings as they get prepared for the next hot selling season (aka Pocket Listings). Happy Thanksgiving!!

A HermosA ClAssiC
wriTTen by denise Kano
We take our limitless entertainment choices for granted, ranging from countless movie theatres with 3-d special effects, to dVds delivered to our door so we can watch movies in the comfort of our own home. But in 1923, it was big news when the local paper announced that a $200,000 theatre would be built at the southwest corner of 13th street and Hermosa avenue the only one of its kind for miles around. fifteen years after Hermosa became the nineteenth incorporated city in los angeles county, a local banker, ralph matteson, had the ambitious idea to build a movie theatre in Hermosa. detailed plans were drawn up for a 1,200-seat structure housing a $20,000 pipe organ, and a contest was held to name the new theatre. for the metropolitans grand opening, the ornamental, neo-classical style theatre premiered circus days, starring Jackie coogan, who later became a resident of Hermosa Beach. Several novelty acts performed, and its said that the enthusiastic crowds finally emptied out of the theatre well after 2:00 in the morning. other classic films screened in the metropolitans early years included She done Them Wrong, featuring mae West, and The little Giant, starring edward G. robinson. Vaudeville shows and stage acts, popular for that time period, were frequently held at the theatre. The Hermosa Beach review described the metropolitans ornate design as jazzed plaster decorated in various colors a beautiful entrance under a marquee of rare artistic design. Theatre patrons were surrounded by expensive wall hangings and pricey paintings, and sat on sofas and leather opera chairs while enjoying listening to the robert morgan pipe organ. Brenda Bibee, former Hermosa Beach resident, recalled going to the theatre in the late 1940s with her older siblings. for 20 cents, we could see a newsreel, a cartoon, and two shows, she said. later, in the mid-50s, ms. Bibee worked at the theatres box office and helped people to their seats. it was a beautiful theatre
with red velvet curtains, she said. There was nothing else like it. and on Saturdays, there were special shows for the kids with prizes. The kids had so much fun on the weekends. from 1979 to approximately 1981, the theatre was known as The cove, and showed popular surf movies as well as numerous screenings of the rocky Horror picture Show. There were also the occasional punk rock band performances, a huge hit with the emerging local punk rock crowd. The name changed again to the Bijou, and it became known for eclectic film screenings consisting of foreign films, art pictures, and other lesser known releases movies that were otherwise impossible to see in the South Bay. The Bijou may also be remembered for how easy it was to smuggle in a taco-burrito from dianas Taco Burritos at the end of pier avenue, also now gone. rumor has it that some former Bijou patrons regularly smuggled in alcohol to enjoy during their movie viewing, although this cannot be confirmed. The elegant art deco building was almost demolished due to the need for retrofitting to meet the states earthquake requirements. discussions were held to level the building and replace it with a parking structure. The Hermosa Beach Historical Society swung into action, and the building was eventually designated a historical landmark in 1999. retrofitting was completed, and refurbishing began on the exterior. The detailed faade has been preserved, and the interior space is now used for commercial/retail purposes. Two red, worn, leather seats remain on display at the Hermosa Beach Historical museum, along with other theatre memorabilia such as posters and handbills of the various shows from years gone by. old theatre photos from a bygone era are displayed, and if you close your eyes, you can almost hear the melodies of the pipe organ and the applause of an appreciative audience.

The South Bay has many cities, communities and neighborhoods to choose from. Starting with TORRANCE to the East, it is the largest of all of the cities and houses four separate High Schools. The schools are award winning and the prices can vary from the $200,000 range for small condos, all the way up to and over $1 Million for beautiful single family homes. The most expensive homes are typically located on the most Southern and Western part of Torrance in an area called THE HOLLYWOOD RIVIERA which is bordered by Palos Verdes and reaches all the way down to the beach. Just West of Redondo Beach is a small community called LAWNDALE which is a very affordable area made up mostly of small single family homes and multi-family units. HAWTHORNE, birthplace of The Beach Boys, is just West and North of Manhattan Beach and is a
very large city mixed with homes, condos and apartments that can suit nearly any budget. The most Northern and Eastern sections offer properties in the $200,000 and $300,000 price ranges or you can head West to one of the most popular areas HOLLYGLEN which has homes priced similarly to many beach cities homes. North of Hawthorne you will find LENNOX and INGLEWOOD, home of the Fabulous Forum that housed many of the L.A. Lakers championship years. It too is a city made up of a diverse mix of housing including many small single family homes, duplexes, apartments and commercial areas. Along the Eastern borders of the South Bay you will find GARDENA, as well as the TORRANCE POST OFFICE area of Los Angeles. GARDENA is home to one of the oldest Japanese communities in the U.S. and the TORRANCE P.O.
A view of the South Bay from Palos Verdes. The South Bay refers to the Southern portion of Santa Monica Bay, just South of LAX. The South Bay extends as far inland and East as the City of Carson and ends in San Pedro at the Port of Los Angeles.
area is an area that is actually in Los Angeles but uses the Torrance Post Office making the mailing address Torrance. This area offers some of the most affordable housing in the entire South Bay. To the South, you find LOMITA, WILMINGTON, CARSON and SAN PEDRO. LOMITA is a small city bordering Torrance which includes a hillside area called LOMITA PINES that borders Palos Verdes and offers rolling hills and some views. CARSON is a large city that is home to the Home Depot Center where The LA Galaxy and others play professional soccer. It also houses a state-of-the-art training facility for some of the countrys best athletes. You can actually find condo pricing under $100,000 here as well as newer homes in gated communities that are much more expensive. SAN PEDRO, a historical harbor town, is a bustling port city and one of the busiest in the world. The housing in San Pedro has a tremendous mix of single family homes, condos and apartments. Home prices can fall as low as $200,000 and yet still hit beach level prices along the southern coast, which offers tremendous views of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island as well as the Port itself. Whether you come for the sun, the fun, the schools or employment, the South Bay is definitely a place where you will find a match for your budget and style of living.

T o u j o u r s m a n h aT T a n b e a c h :
a european-inspired home channels provence and Tuscany
by pamela coranTe-hansen
i knew he couldnt live without me, jokes lisa Wehrly as she recalls the office romance that brought her and her husband david together in the late 1990s. We tried keeping it a secret from the boss, david chimes in, But it turns out he knew all along. now married 20 years, the other open secret in the couples lives is their mutual passion for france and italy, which is written all over the custom-built manhattan Beach home they share with their three children. not content with bringing back Venetian glass figurines or a painting by a local artist to commemorate their european vacations, the Wehrlys souvenirs include fireplaces, floors and a roof. We know what we like, lisa says in reference to the reclaimed flat terra cotta tiles that were salvaged from dilapidated buildings in france to create the homes unique roof, a departure from the more common barrel tile roofs that dot the Southern california landscape. What makes the Wehrlys unique in their quest to outfit their five-bedroom home with european antiquities is a genuine reverence and appreciation for the objects and their history. a floor-to-ceiling limestone fireplace in the living room, reminiscent of the kind one might see in the bedroom of a loire Valley chateau, is embellished with a scallop shell medallion and carved scrolling on the mantle. at the time we bought it, the french government was limiting the number of antiquities leaving the country, lisa explains. So we secured the right paperwork and documentation in order to bring it home.
11.11.2011 | SouTHBaydiGS.com 43
incorporating 15th to 18th century artifacts into a 21st century home comes with some challenges. The flooring in the living room, dining room and kitchen is made with 18th century dalle de Bourgogne flagstones, which were recovered from derelict homes in frances Burgundy region. Some of the stones were threequarters of an inch thick, david notes, and others were three-and-a-half inches thick. This meant that the floor had to be dropped enough to accommodate the thicker tiles, while the thinner ones were floated on the cement. While a good portion of the homes reclaimed elements were imported from europe, some were found locally through sheer serendipity. The sink in a ground-floor powder room is hewn from a stone that bears an inscription in latin and could easily blend in with some of the ancient artifacts found within the walls of romes coliseum. However, lisa had to travel no further than orange county to discover it sitting on the floor of an antiques shop. They told me it was from italy, but that was all they knew, she says. for the most part, the Wehrlys vision for the style and feel of their home was fulfilled using reclaimed materials from france and italy. The items they could not find overseas were either sourced stateside or made by los angeles-area craftsmen and artisans who have mastered the art of recreating old-world elements
using new or reclaimed materials. a ceiling in a hallway off the kitchen bears dark wood beams that look as if they came from the dining hall of a 15th century french hunting lodge. in reality, they were purchased at Vintage Timberworks in Temecula, where wood from old barns is used to create period-style design features. Kitchen and bathroom cabinets crafted in the tradition of heirloom french pieces were made by Beau Sejour in West los angeles, which specializes in old-world european design and construction. accessories throughout the home are carefully curated to evoke an authentic european flavor. Hand-painted italian deruta tile (see sidebar) in an upstairs bathroom is at home with a locally-sourced, modern lighting fixture that could easily pass for hand-blown murano glass. people either love or hate this bathroom, lisa says with a laugh. its the most italian-looking room in the house. We met a man in deruta who hand-paints the tiles, so we worked with him for this design. any couple that has ever built a home from the ground up can usually mine their experience for humorous anecdotes about knock-down, drag-out arguments over wallpaper. not the Wehrlys. david and i work well together, lisa says. Sometimes hes passionate about something like the ceiling, and ill be passionate about marble. But we have fun with it,
and it brings us closer together. one of us will have an idea and the other will say, Thats great! i never thought of that. one of davids hallmark ideas was inspired by a seemingly impractical space. The homes basement is completely underground, which required the construction of a shoring wall in addition to the interior wall. The long, corridor-like space between the two walls was only about three feet wide, but where the builder saw construction filler, david saw a wine cellar. The couple fashioned the floor using leftover flagstones from the main living area and extra honeycomb-shaped terra cotta tiles from the rooftop terrace. They installed wine racks and added an arched door with a clear glass panel to create a climatecontrolled storage space for davids wine collection. Visible through the wine cellar door are two deruta ceramics made from terra cotta barrel tiles. one is painted with the profile of a renaissance-era noblewoman, and the other is a portrait of a gentleman from the same period. The portraits are hung so that they appear to be gazing at each other. The womans portrait bears the inscription, carpe diem. The other is inscribed with the latin Toto corde meo, or with my whole heart. for the Wehrlys, home is all about the heart.

Recent Client Testimonial: I saw Watermarks ad in the South Bay Digs and thought I would give your company a try. I wasnt expecting alot since we had already looked into refinancing with another local lender and this was just a magazine ad. We were so pleasantly surprised and somewhat shocked that we got such EXCELLENT and PERSONAL service! Regan went the extra mile to answer all of our questions truthfully and responsibly. Regan made the whole process a breeze, and I cant believe Im saying that about obtaining a loan! Hence we are coming back to you for another loan which we know will be another great experience!
