Buying a Home in Lake Arrowhead California?

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 14:31:59 -0400

Are you thinking of Buying a Home in Lake Arrowhead, CA?

Are you working with a local Realtor? Do you understand the market of Lake Arrowhead, CA? Is your Realtor experienced and currently in the market?

Having a local Lake Arrowhead Realtor is crucial to understanding the various challenges and treasures of living in Lake Arrowhead.

Are you looking at the South side or the North side? Do you like shaded areas or full sun? Do you want to live near the Village or more secluded? Is your road plowed and maintained or is it an access road? Are you on septic or connected to sewer? Which schools would your children go to? What are the lake rules and regulations? Is the lake private? Is the Country Club a private club? Is the Yacht Club a private club?

Obviously these are very important questions to understanding the beauty of living in Lake Arrowhead and a non local Realtor could not possibly understand most of this. Our team lives here, we are raising a family here, and we work here full time.

Real Estate no matter where you live is localized. The Real Estate market of Manhattan Beach cannot begin to compare to the Real Estate market of Lake Arrowhead. Why would you use a Realtor from out of the area who doesn't sell in Lake Arrowhead? A Realtor who lives and works in Lake Arrowhead see's the trends and understands what the specifics are in Lake Arrowhead. Would you go to a doctor to perform surgery on you that he has never studied that particular science? No, you wouldn't.

There are many Realtors who jumped in the business a few years ago. There have been many challenges over the last few years and those of us that dug in and continued to sell in a challenging market and thrive in a challenging market are the market. I have had great days in Real Estate and bad ones, but I love my job and I take the good with the bad. I wake up every day and know that I will give 110% to my clients. Let our team be your Lake Arrowhead Realtor.

North Shore Estates ~Winter Harbor ~ Shelter Cove, Lake Arrowhead CA

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 13:59:00 -0400

What is North Shore Estates, Winter Harbor Bay, and Shelter Cove in Lake Arrowhead?

Well, let me take you on a tour of them. There are three calm water bays in these three specific areas. They are located on the North Shore of Lake Arrowhead. And, these three specific areas encumber two gated communities in Lake Arrowhead. They both have private HOA's and their own set of CC & R's ~ Let me break them down for you.

Old North Shore Estates is located off of Highway 173 just North of the Lake Arrowhead Marina. In this community there are two main entry gates, one on Hwy 173 and one off of North Shore Road.
- There are Lake front properties and first tier properties. There are also ALA (Arrowhead Lake Association) access points for members of the ALA. This community is unique in the fact that it is lush with trees and maintains some very secluded properties.
- The waters in this community are very calm. Winter Harbor is the main bay for North Shore Estates, however, there are some homes close to the Marina side and the water is a little more rough on a busy day.
- There are currently 7 homes on the market in this gated community. There are 5 lake front properties in North Shore Estates.
  - 28939 North Shore Rd ~ 28937 North Shore Rd ~ 28853 North Shore Rd ~ 924 Lakes Edge ~ 28751 North Shore Rd
  - Prices ranging from $1,600,000 to $14,200,000
  - For more information on these homes contact kim@arrowheadlifestyles.com
- There are 2 interior homes in North Shore Estates first tier homes.
  - 28910 North Shore Rd $399,000 and 28974 North Shore Rd $499,000
Shelter Cove is located off of North Shore Road and has two gates into this community.
- There are currently 4 properties on the market in Shelter Cove. 2 interior homes and 2 lake front homes. There too are ALA access trails in the beginning of the gated area, but then the trail goes to private access for the lake trail.
- Shelter Cove is known for the sprawling estates in this community. There are several properties with good acreage to them. One property in particular has close to 17 acres.
- There is a calm water bay on the back side of Shelter Cove and then a main area that faces the Lake Arrowhead Village with non stop lake views.
  - The lake front homes that are available are both very different from one another. One which is located at 736 Shelter Cove has expansive lake views and a grand estate feel to it and is available for $2,999,900 ~ the other lake front home is located at 718 Shelter Cove and needs extreme work done to the home as it is a fixer and is listed for $1,400,000
  - The two interior homes are listed at $929,000 and $1,500,000 ~ both sit on about an acre of land and are in the gated area.

I love to kayak through this area in the morning, it is the best place to see the sunrise and be a part of the day. We sometimes anchor over in Winter Harbor and float as it is very quiet on most days.

For more information on buying a home in North Shore Estates or in Shelter Cove, please contact us we would be happy to further your search.

IF YOU THINK YOU CAN BUY YOUR WAY INTO HEAVEN WITH MONEY ALONE, YOU MAY REGRET THAT YOU DIDN’T CONVERT IT INTO GOOD DEEDS INSTEAD.

If through some terrible, unforeseen tragedy you should die tomorrow, how would your epitaph read? What would others remember about you? In the final analysis, you will be remembered for your good works, not for the money you have accumulated during your lifetime. Your wealth may be little more than the cause for disagreements among your heirs, while your good deeds will be remembered long after you are gone. As you accumulate wealth, devote a portion of your money and your time to causes that benefit those less fortunate than you.

Andy Rooney and Prayer

Wed, 25 Aug 2010 17:10:23 -0400

Andy Rooney and   Prayer

Andy Rooney says:

I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December. I don't agree with Darwin ,   but I didn't go out and hire a lawyer when my high school teacher taught his Theory of Evolution.

Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered because someone says a   30-second prayer before a football game. So what's the big deal? It's not like somebody is up there reading the entire Book of Acts. They're just talking to a God they believe in and asking him to grant safety to the players on the field and the fans going home from the game.

But it's a Christian prayer,   some will argue.

Yes, and this is the United States of America and Canada, countries founded on Christian principles. According to our very own phone book, Christian churches   outnumber all others better than 200-to-1.   So what would you expect -- somebody chanting Hare Krishna?

If I went to a football game in Jerusalem , I   would expect to hear a Jewish   prayer.

If I went to a soccer game in    Baghdad , I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer.

If I went to a ping pong   match in China , I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha.

And I wouldn't be   offended. It   wouldn't bother me one bit.

When in Rome .....

But what about the atheists? Is another   argument.

What about them? Nobody   is asking them to be baptized. We're not going to pass the collection plate. Just humour us for 30 seconds.   If that's asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of   ear plugs. Go to the bathroom.   Visit the concession stand.   Call your lawyer!

Unfortunately, one or two   will make that call. One or two will tell thousands what they can and cannot do. I don't think a short prayer at a   football game is going to shake the world's foundations.

Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights. Our parents and grandparents taught us to pray before eating, to pray before we go to   sleep. Our   Bible tells us to pray without ceasing.   Now a handful of people and their lawyers are telling us to cease   praying.

God, help us. And if that last sentence offends you, well, just sue me.

The   silent majority has been silent too long. It's time we   tell that one or two who scream loud enough to be heard that the vast majority doesn't care what they want. It is   time that the majority rules!   It's time we tell them, "You don't have to pray; you   don't have to say the Pledge of Allegiance; you don't have to   believe in God or attend services that honor Him. That is your right, and we will honour your right; but by golly, you are no longer going to take our rights away.   We are fighting back, and we WILL WIN!"

God bless us one and all...Especially those who denounce Him, God   bless America and Canada, despite all our faults We are still the   greatest nations of all. God bless our service men who are fighting to protect our right to pray and worship God.

Thought for the Day - Actions

Your Lake Arrowhead Sellers, the best choice for a Realtor, with the Top Real Estate Company on the Mountain... Get The Sellers Advantage

WASTE NO WORDS ON A MAN WHO DISLIKES YOU. ACTIONS WILL IMPRESS HIM MORE.

Some people think they can talk their way out of any situation, and for a time they may be right But if someone already dislikes you, either because of a simple misunderstanding or an error in judgment on your part, he or she will be especially difficult to persuade with words. Their emotions will always get in the way of their ability to think logically and reasonably. Consistent actions over a sustained period of time, however, will usually persuade even the most devout skeptic. If you constantly demonstrate that you are a generous, kind, and caring person, it will be very hard for even your enemies to dislike you. In any case, you will become a better person for having made the effort.

Thought for the Day - Kill them with Kindness

Tue, 24 Aug 2010 11:08:32 -0400

Your Lake Arrowhead Sellers, the best choice for a Realtor, with the Top Real Estate Company on the Mountain... Get The Sellers Advantage

THE SAFEST AND BEST WAY TO PUNISH ONE WHO HAS DONE YOU AN INJUSTICE IS TO DO HIM OR HER A KIND DEED IN RETURN.

People will always respond in kind, even in greater measure than that which is delivered to them. This commonplace need for retaliation can be replaced with a response designed to convert an enemy into a friend. If you get rid of the millstone of pride, you can respond to an injustice with a kind deed. It may take time to make this work, but if you treat those who dislike you with unfailing kindness, they will eventually succumb to your influence and "retaliate" in kind. As Napoleon Hill said, "The hottest coals of fire ever heaped upon the head of one who has wronged you are the coals of human kindness."

Thought for the Day - Intelligence

Mon, 23 Aug 2010 10:00:12 -0400

Your Lake Arrowhead Sellers, the best choice for a Realtor, with the Top Real Estate Company on the Mountain... Get The Sellers Advantage

IF YOU REALLY ARE SMARTER THAN OTHERS, SHOW THEM WITH YOUR ACTIONS.

It is a natural human reaction for you to wish to correct others when you see them making a mistake or doing something differently than you would have done it. It is far more difficult to control the impulse to show them how much more intelligent you are. The ability to recognize and control such impulses marks the beginning of the development of wisdom. A wise person knows that when he shows his intelligence with the actions he takes, others learn a far more valuable and lasting lesson. If you see someone who could benefit from your advice, you can gently lead him to a more appropriate conclusion by asking open-ended, nonjudgmental questions. Let others find the flaws in their reasoning by leading them logically through the process. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "The secret of education lies in respecting the pupil."

Your Lake Arrowhead Sellers, the best choice for a Realtor, with the Top Real Estate Company on the Mountain... Get The Sellers Advantage

THE VALUE OF ACTIONS DEPENDS ON THE COURAGE THEY REQUIRE.

Ordinary people who do extraordinary things for others are those we later call heroes. When asked why they performed as they did, they often say, "It was nothing anyone else wouldn’t have done in the circumstances." Perhaps that’s their way of saying we all have the capacity for greatness. It is only when we are severely tested that we rise to the occasion and perform at the highest levels of our competence. You become a person who does the right things when presented with great opportunities the same way you achieve success at anything: through force of habit. If you make it a practice to take the appropriate action even when it seems unimportant and insignificant, you will do the right thing-without thinking-in important situations. If you let your actions speak for you, you will never have to worry about others recognizing your contribution.
