The Lucky Month

All I can say is WOW! I am sitting here at my computer thinking of how grateful I am for the value so many, like you, bring to my real estate business, looking out my home office window and the skies are blue. Spring is here and we can be thankful of our wonderful Southern California weather.  |  PDF

For many across this great country it’s still freezing COLD and snowy! We in the Greater Los Angeles Area never see a snowflake all winter long unless we decide to go skiiing. It very well could be super stormy or drought dry today here (but it’s not). One thing is for sure, it’s a lucky month as Chris Pine attracts 100 business sponsors to help the kids.  #coreychambers

Just like the weather seasons come and seasons go, so do the seasons of life. I’m sure you have noticed, as I have, the older I get the faster the seasons move by. These “seasons of life” go by so fast, my hope is that you enjoy each one or at least grow from each one. Yes. Some of life’s seasons will be HOT and others will be COLD, some high and some low. The lows we want to move by quickly, the highs we want to stay in forever.

Seasons of Life
Seasons of Life

So, what does this have to do with you or your home or real estate? 

Well, spring is a time of action, people busy trying to get things done they could not do during the winter months. Sort of a renewing of the mind, spirit, of many things GOOD! Hopefully this special season will bring awesome happenings your way as your year unfolds. Wouldn’t it be great to simply just grab your favorite book along with your favorite lounge chair, set it right down in your favorite spot somewhere, outside or next to your window, while looking out on a beautiful Spring day and simply ‘RELAX”. Yea, that would be nice. My hope is that you will get to something like that on more than one occasion this Spring. Really enjoy the place you call home! The NEXT season will be here before you know it.

Unfortunately, there are some that will have a Spring Time they would much rather forget. Like it says in the Seasons of Life, with all the beauty this time of year brings, there is also the ugly for some. Just down the street from where I am typing this, Children’s Hosptial has a full house of kids fighting for their lives. For them and their families, the Ground Hog seeing or not seeing its shadow is the furthest thing from their mind. Don’t get me wrong, these families long to see their kids out in the yard playing or riding their bikes – but for now, they are praying this Spring will be a season of healing.

Your Referrals Help the Kids…

As you may have heard, Children’s Hospital is front and center in the fight against nasty diseases that destroy or cut short the lives of children. We are thankful to have such a wonderful facility close by, doing such great work to help heal and save young people. Even though we are eager to enjoy Spring, others are simply hoping they can be here to see it. This is why we here at the Corey Chambers Team have resolved to do what we can to help.

As you know Children’s Hospital depends on sponsorships and donations to help in their work to heal and save the kids. So we have pledged to donate a portion of our income from home sales to Children’s Hospital. Our goal is to raise $25,000 (we have already raised over $2,800) to help them in their quest to heal, save, cure and comfort children under their care.

This is where you can help…

Life moves fast for some and we are eager to make the Home Selling or Home Buying experience a smooth and rewarding one. Over the last 15 years of helping thousands of home buyers, sellers, landlords and renters, we have met some wonderful, loving, caring people. People like you!

For anyone considering a move that we help, you can rest assured that not only will they get the award-winning service we are known for, but that a portion of the income we receive from the transaction will go toward a very worthy cause.

Why I Support Children’s Hospital

I grew up right here in Southern California. Born right nearby at St. Francis Hospital. I remember when I first heard about a young person close to our family suffering from a nasty disease and getting treated for that at Children’s Hospital. It was then that I began to pay closer attention to the work they do at that hospital. Since then, I have learned that it is a collection of hard working health care professionals, most making their home right here in the Greater Los Angeles area, all coming together for a common cause. That cause is to help young people over come unfortunate health issues that life sometimes throws our way. Being an area native, I take pride in supporting in any way that I can the good work these people do at Children’s. My team rally’s around our annual goal of raising money and donating portions of our income to help Children’s in their quest to heal young people when they need healing. My team and I are committed to providing outstanding results for buyers and sellers referred to us by our past clients. I have discovered that Children’s shares similar commitments to their patients. And since their services survive on sponsorships and donations we are happy to contribute and proud to support them.

The Curious Case of Kairi

What caused a young girl’s liver and kidney disease? The mystery continues as her doctors plan for a transplant of both organs.

By Jeff Weinstock
By Jeff Weinstock

Rachel Lestz, MD, not one to mince words or to conserve them, is abruptly stuck in a pause, halfway between a plausible hypothetical and an oncoming dilemma.

“Am I that curious a person?” she asks herself aloud.  She is considering this: If she goes forward with her half of a liver-kidney transplant on Kairi, her 11-year-old nephrology patient whose liver and kidney failure doctors have been unable to diagnose, would she continue to pursue the source of Kairi’s disease even after the transplant is completed? Would there be some therapeutic benefit to knowing—or if not, would trying to satisfy the family’s need for an answer be worth the strain that more testing would cause them?

Meditating on the maybes, if-thens and could-bes has become a vexing part of Kairi’s case, since she presented in September 2016 in the Emergency Department at Children’s Hospital after her pediatrician found her spleen enlarged at an annual exam, and a subsequent blood draw showed low blood cell and platelet counts, a condition called pancytopenia.

At CHLA, the initial suspicion of cancer was dismissed by a clean bone marrow biopsy. But an ultrasound showed abnormalities in the liver and kidney, and biopsies showed the two organs to be engulfed by scar tissue, indicating some prior disorder that left both unable to function adequately.  It all bewildered her parents, as Kairi had exhibited no symptoms. “I was always asking her, ‘Do you feel pain’? Do you feel this? Do you feel that?’” her mother, Roxana, says. “She always said no.”  “It must have happened so slowly that she didn’t feel anything,” says CHLA nephrologist Nadine Khouzam, MD.  “That’s not uncommon with kidney disease. You don’t know you have it because it happens so slowly, until it’s end stage and things don’t work anymore. I can see all that damage, but I don’t know what caused it.” Kairi’s biopsy showed scarring and atrophy that consumed more than 60 percent of her kidneys. “That’s the end.”

‘There’s nothing good about the spleen’

If the end wasn’t in dispute, the beginning would stay muddled. After searching online for information on the drive to CHLA, Kairi’s father, Oscar, knew that an inflamed spleen was serious. “I whispered to my older daughter, ‘There’s nothing good about the spleen,’” he says. “She nodded at me. She understood too.” One of the not-good things about the spleen is that it sits downstream from the liver, so swelling is a sign that blood is backing up into it, the result of a deteriorated liver disrupting blood flow. With blood cells and platelets caught in the spleen, the available number in the regular blood count is lowered—thus the finding of pancytopenia. In addition, Kairi’s level of creatinine, a waste product that gets cleared out by healthy kidneys, was five times the norm.

After biopsies revealed the damage, a group of physicians informed the family, led by Dr. Lestz, Clinical Director of Pediatric Nephrology, and CHLA gastroenterologist George Yanni, MD, Director of the hospital’s Liver Transplant Fellowship Program.
“They take you into a little room, you know?” Oscar says. “I don’t like that room anymore.” They were at first heartened to learn it wasn’t cancer—“a brief moment of whew,” Roxana says. The exhalation was cut short when the doctors explained the extent of the liver and kidney decay couldn’t be undone and would require transplanting of both organs. “Your world at that moment goes upside down,” Roxana says. “You can’t even think about anything else but what they’re going to tell you. I was like, ‘How can that be? She doesn’t look sick!’” Her disbelief, though, never crossed over to denial. “One doctor can be wrong, but a team of the best doctors can’t be wrong.”

Tipping point

Within a few months Kairi’s kidney function sank as her creatinine jumped to 10 times the norm. She “tipped over,” Dr. Lestz says, passing the threshold that forced her to refer Kairi for dialysis, where she would be treated by Dr. Khouzam. At the same time she was placed on the waiting list for a liver-kidney transplant. Dialysis can do the work of the kidneys virtually indefinitely and allow for a manageable, if obstructed, life. The liver is a worse matter. There are life-extending medications for the liver, but none that are life sustaining. Adding to the urgency of finding Kairi a donor is the presence of abnormal veins, called varices, in her esophagus. With scar tissue jamming up blood flow around the liver, the blood tries to wind back to the heart by going through the esophagus, triggering the growth of these enlarged varices. As happened in one frightful episode with Kairi, the veins can burst and bleed out from the large amount of blood they’re ill equipped to be carrying. Dr. Yanni performs regular endoscopies on Kairi to go into the esophagus and band the veins together to keep them from bleeding.

He can’t specify how long Kairi can go without a transplant, but he says, “For any child with liver disease and complications with variceal bleeding, it is a ticking timeclock.”  Throughout the case, Dr. Lestz and Dr. Yanni tried to root out the source of Kairi’s extensive disease. Multiple tests scratched off one credible culprit after another: malignancy, infection, metabolic disorders, structural abnormalities. She was negative for Caroli disease, a disorder of the bile ducts that affects both the liver and kidney.

Genetic testing provided no help. It found Kairi had the gene for bare lymphocyte syndrome, wherein a patient is missing or has malfunctioning lymphocytes, a specialized white blood cell that fights infection. Yet outside of the occasional headache and stomachache, Kairi has never been sick. “Her genetic workup didn’t make sense with her clinical picture,” Dr. Khouzam says. The incongruity struck Dr. Lestz as well. “She has so few available white blood cells and her genetic testing tells us those blood cells shouldn’t even work. Well, obviously her white blood cells do work, even though she has less of them. That’s why when we got that result, we were like, OK, that means nothing to us. That does not explain anything.” Importantly, though, they tested for and ruled out any condition that could resurface in transplanted organs, such as an autoimmune condition or a storage disease, a type of metabolic disorder. That and the DNA panel greenlit Dr. Lestz and Dr. Yanni to press ahead. “Originally, Dr. Yanni and I thought we can’t have her undergo transplantation unless we figure out what caused her disease. Once we realized it wasn’t something that would alter her treatment or transplant care, and what we had found wasn’t anything relevant, both Dr. Yanni and I felt comfortable going forward.” Dr. Yanni notes that up to 30 percent of patients with failing livers enter transplantation without a diagnosis, and ultimately the justification is elementary: “Because we have to save the child.”

Naming rights

“I have my own theory,” Kairi says in her chirpy little voice that sounds like sugar and spice but is made of poise and grit.  She’s an advanced fifth-grader, with what seems to be paranormal maturity and intelligence. She’s 4 feet tall and gives her weight in kilos (24) because that’s how the scale outputs it in the dialysis unit. She graciously offers to convert it for the metrically flummoxed: 53 pounds.  “Back when I was in first grade maybe,” she goes on, “I got really sick and I couldn’t even move out of bed. My ear hurt. My throat hurt. I couldn’t taste things the same way. No one could figure out what was wrong with me. So I think that could have been the start. That could have been an infection that caused everything. The year after, that’s when I got sick.”

She doesn’t spend much time thinking about it any further. However, if her doctors do eventually determine a cause, she wants dibs on it. “I don’t really care as long as I get the transplant, although if it’s a new disease, I want to name it. I’ve been thinking about the L-K disease, like liver-kidney disease, or the Kairi disease. My mom says they will probably name it after the doctor who finds it, but I’m still hoping I can name it.”  For Dr. Lestz, the priority now is assuring the family that diagnosing Kairi’s disease would not have cut off its progression. “I don’t know that we’ll really ever get to the bottom of it,” she says, breaking her pause. “The most important message for Kairi and her parents is that we don’t believe her disease could have been prevented. Early knowledge would not have changed her underlying disease. We don’t have some magical medicine that would have cured her.”

Meanwhile the wait for a donor lengthens. The family has three times received calls with news of a donor offer, but as happens often, after review by the transplant team one of the organs proved faulty and there was no match. The team has prepped the family to understand that accepting an offer is several steps off from going forward with the procedure. Upon examination an organ can be deficient in any number of ways.

Roxana tries to see the light in the process. “When they called us the first time, I was so happy,” she says. “I couldn’t stop smiling. Then when they told us no, I was like, OK, next time it will be for something that is going to last. That gives me more hope for Kairi because I know they are looking through everything to make sure it’s going to be good for her.  “Every time my phone rings and it says CHLA or the area code is 323, my heart starts pounding because I feel like, oh my god, what if they’re calling us for the transplant? Sooner or later they’re going to call and this is going to be it.”

Dear Homeseller,

Thank you for taking a look at this collection of important information about the sale of your home. For most people, the sale of their home is one of the five most important financial transactions of their entire life. All real estate agents are definitely NOT the same, so you want to select the one you trust to handle the sale of your home most carefully. The information I have provided can help you do that. Please do NOT hire an agent until you have read the enclosed material.

In the last 12 years, I have helped numbers of people with their Real Estate transactions. Many have come to me only after having horrible experiences, false starts, and long delays. I would like for you to avoid all the frequently made mistakes and enjoy the End of smooth experience that occurs when working with a true professional.

For some people, selling their home is a natural life milestone to be celebrated. For others, the sale may be motivated by a career move or transfer, a change in finances, or something else not of their choice, so the sale of the family home is a difficult decision. Either way, you simply do not need added stress of promises not kept, confu.sion, unnecessarily large numbers of unqualified “lookers” marching through your home at all hours, and pricing and presentation mistakes made that cost you tens of thousands of dollars. The information I’ve sent can help you avoid all of this.

I look forward to hearing from you and to being of service.

Sincerely,
Corey Chambers

The Biggest Mistake a Homeowner Can Make when Interviewing Agents…

There is a lot of questionable advice out there from “personal finance experts” on TV or from friends and family. They tell you, “Interview 3 or 4 or 5 agents. then pith one.” When somebody tells me that, what they,e going to do, I ask: “What criteria are you going to use to compare them, judge them, and pick oner Many admit that they don, know. They are going to spend 3, 4, or 5 evenings interviewing different real estate agents with no pre-determined way to pick the one they will ultimately trust to handle one of the biggest and most important financial events of their life!

Let me give you a comparison you may or may not know. When a company decides to hire somebody for an important job, let’s say one that costs the company $100.000.00 or $200,000.00 a year, they have a pre-determined set of questions – a set criteria they will use to judge the people they interview. They know in advance what they are looking for. To do otherwise is to play ‘Blind Archery’. and that’s dangerous! They NEVER interview 2 bunch of people and go with the one they “like”. Or rely on, “He or she seemed nice, No, they use reason and logic. You are hiring somebody to do a very important job You should NOT play ‘Blind Archery.’

You need to know in advance he kind of agent you want, the things that are most important to you, the sm. questions to ask. For example. is the agent, track record at getting top dollar more or less important to you than the commission they quote you? Is the fact that they are a lone wolf and may be constantly and immediately accessible to you more important than their success percentage or the percentage of homes they list that actually sell? And on and on. In the following page, you will read through a fist of different “Selection Factors” to consider and weight against each other. From this list, you can make your own “Short List,” in the space provided, of the five most important things you are looking for from the agent you will hire. You also find my Facts and Answers to all of di.e Selection Factors, in abbreviated form, of course. Also included, is a list of the Top 4 Mistakes Most Commonly Made when choosing an agent. The most frequent r.ults of th.e mistakes are: the home never sells, is tied up for months, and eventually the agent is fired. The home is sold for much le. than it should have sold for, because the owner is stuck with an under-performing agent, is worn out, and just wants to get it over with.

Top 4 Mistakes to AVOID

1 Going with the agent who promises you the the most amount of money (even if the price seems unrealistic)
2 Choosing the agent who promises to save you more: the commission rate
3 Choosing the “nice” agent
4 Choosing an agent who works alone, because you think they’ll work a lot harder and give you more personal attention

The Most Frequent Results of These Mistakes Are …

1 The inflated list price you were quoted (in order to get your listing) results in few buyers coming to view your home (because they can gee a comparable, properly priced house for less money) and you end up having to endure a series of price reductions which result in your home filially selling for BELOW its true market value.
2 A lower commission does not guarantee you will net more on your home sale. According to Real Estate consultant Bernice Ross, there is a “Big Lie” in real estate. It’s the lie that reducing the commission always results in more money for the seller. Nothing could be further from the truth. Virtually all sellers want to obtain the highest price possible for their property. No matter what you are selling, maximum exposure to the marketplace is a critical factor in achieving the highest price possible. Companies who cut services in exchange for taking a lower commission often cost clients much more than the extra one to three percent they save in commission. Depending on pricc, the cost can be tens of thousands of dollars.
3 Your agent may be nice, but this doesn’t necessarily qualify them to do the best job of selling your home. Your agent’s personality will mean very little to you if you ultimately discover that they don’t have the marketing expertise to market your home properly so it sits on the market and either doesn’t sell, or sells for lower than market value. (The Chambers Team members are all great to work with AND we have a proven system to get your home sold Fast and for Top Dollar.)
4 Your agent ends up neglecting some important steps, because they are so over-busy trying to do everything all on their own (and you end up with an inferior result).

Facts and Answers to Selection Criteria

Your Home Sold Guaranteed or I’ll Buy It*

Fact: There is no substitute for proven, aggressive and effective marketing on your home. Effective marketing calls out to the buyers most qualified to buy your home. The right marketing on your home will say the right things, be in the right place at the right time, and compel qualified buyers to pick up the phone to find out more. The process of attracting buyers to your home cannot be left to chance. The exact words used to promote your home are critical. Our advertising is so effective that, at any one time, we are working with a database of over 4,359 qualified buyers.
Fact: According to published Real Estate consultant Bernice Ross, a lower commission does not guarantee you will net more on your home sale. There is a Big Lie in real estate. It’s the lie that reducing the commission always results in more money for the seller. Nothing could be further from the truth. Virtually all sellers want to obtain the highest price possible for their property. No matter what you are selling, maximum exposure to the marketplace is the critical factor in achieving the highest price possible. Companies and agents, who cut services in exchange for taking a lower commission, often cost clients much more than the extra one to three percent they save in commission. Depending on price, the cost can be tens of thousands of dollars.
Fact: There s a big difference between just selling your home, and getting your home sold ‘right’. There are many things to do to get your home sold for the best possible result. An agent who operates all by themselves really has to hussle to make it all happen the way it should, and it’s tough for a lone wolf’ when he/she is juggling more than one listing. Important details sometimes fall through the cracks. I know this from experience because 1 used to operate on my own. But just as doctors, lawyers and other profcmionals hire assistants to handle the small but important details that do not require their expertise, I gathered a highly talented and knowledgeable Team to ensure that you are always our top priority, that we are never too busy to address your need, and no details are overlooked.
Fact: listing a home for on unrealistically high price almost always results in an unrealistically low selling price the price a home sells for is subject to the law of supply and demand. When a home is priced too high vs. comparable homes in the area, prospective buyers won’t bother to view it. Why? Because they are able to view homes with similar features that are listed for a lower price. As a result, the home that is listed too high sits on the market fora long time causing prospective buyers to assume there is something wrong with it. In order to get things moving a price reduction is often required, and in the end, the home can end up selling for much less than it would have if it had been priced correctly in the first place.

Who Hires the Chambers Team?
In general, here are the people who most frequently hire The Chambers Team and Why…

CEOs, Executives Business Owners
Why? Because they run their businesses as “Teams,” so they understand and appreciate The Chambers Team System. These people are accustomed to bringing people who play different, specialized roles together as a team, and know that to be the most productive approach to complex situations — rather than having one person trying to juggle all the balls, wear all the hats. They know from their own experience that no one person can be good at everything.

Sales Professionals & Marketing-Oriented Entrepreneurs
Why? They quickly recognize the benefits of The Chambers Team’s sophisticated System for selling homes as quickly as possible & for top dollar. They have the background and experience

to understand the power of the multi-media, multi-step System that Corey Chambers has perfected. They respect the fact that Corey pays to use Craig Proctor’s marketing System, and to be trained and coached by Craig — including 400 + top producers, including several Thy 10 Agents from major franchises! They see, quite simply, that The Chambers Team does more things simultaneously to get their home sold.

Doctors, Hospital Administrators & Nurses
Why? Like the cxecutives, they are thoroughly familiar with the benefits of a Team Approach. It is the way they work all the time.
Exceptionally Busy People
Why?
Because The Chambers Team’s System features methods of marketing and selling their home that minimizes their involvement

and inconvenience. For example we rarely hold a traditional “Open House.” That’s because agents tend to use your home to find buyers to work with. Those buyers rarely buy the open house they come to. We find buyer’s without displacing our clients for bag Saturday and Sunday open houses. Our preselection and quail ,ing process reduces the number of people who troop in and out of the home with no real interest in it or ability to buy it immediately.
People Who Are Not Real Estate Investors or Experts Why? Most successful people have become expert in what they do, in their occupation, profession or business. They have not had the time or inclination to also become expert in finance, investments, real estate and real estate law. They do not want a “rookie” or a part time “dabble’ handling one of the most significant Financial transactions of their lives They want someone
supervising every aspect of the sale of their home that is a leading authority and globally recognized expert with many years of successful experience. In short, they want the best person they can get.
People Who Do Not Have Time for “Do-Overs” Why? Corey tends to attract the client who wants it done right the first time. That’s because Corey sells 98% of the homes he lists — compared to the MIS average success rate of around 84%. If you hire the wrong agent, after weeks or even months go by without your home being sold, you have to start all over again with a new agent Many sellers go through these three times before getting their home finally sold – and then they tend to compromise their price severely. The homeowner who is determined to get it right the first time compares Corey’s track word to others, and makes the obvious choice.

“Corey Chambers helped us to sell our home for 101% of asking price, all cash, 24%, faster than the average sale in the building. Corey then helped us to find a larger home and to negotiate a fair price with repairs included. He was very responsive to calls and if he didn’t know the answer to a question that we had, he always found the answer out in a timely manner. We plan to use Corey again in future real estate transactions and highly recommend him to others.” — Tammy Johnson and Mike Barker

‘‘Corey is the best realtor I have worked with by far. He is the most intelligent, intuitive, resourceful and creative realtor I have ever encountered. I will recommend him to everyone I know without any hesitation. He has been so patient with me which I really appreciate and has always listened to me. He had real conversations with me weighing the pros and cons of different options. He never once lost patience or got frustrated. I am so happy to have found Corey.” – Lauren Han

Six Point 100% Satisfaction Guarantees
REALTY SOURCE Chambers Team

COMMUNICATION GUARANTEE: Because you have the entire Chambers Team working for you. The primary agent responsible for the sale of your home will either be immediately accessible to you via cell phone, or will return any of your calls within 24 hours, but usually the same day. You will not need to chase us to know what’s going on. We will, without your asking, give you an update every week on the progress and status of the marketing and sale of your property.    GUARANTEE:  If we fail to update you weekly or fail to return your call within 24 hours, we will give you a $200 cash credit at closing*.

HONEST PROMISES GUARANTEE:  Guarantee #1 is a good example. We are not going to wildly promise you the moon and stars to get your business. We tell you what we can and will do exactly how we operate, as well as what we will not do, upfront, in clear language. When we list your home, we give you a detailed, professional service agreement in writing.    GUARANTEE:   If, at any time, we fail to honor that agreement, we will give you a $200 cash credit at closing*.

REALITY-BASED SELLING PRICE RANGE:  We get you top dollar. Our track record and statistics prove it. But, we will never play the ‘bait-and-switch’ game of promising to get you a wholly unrealistic price just to get your listing, wearing you down with low-ball offers.  Unfortunately, this goes on in the real estate business!  GUARANTEE:  For every 5,000 we sell your home for, below the agreed-upon price range, we will give you a $200 cash credit* (up to a maximum of $600) at closing. We will also buy your home for a pre-agreed price at any time you like*.

REALITY BASED TIMETABLE: We implement a complete marketing program to sell your home. You know in advance what will occur step by step, and will receive weekly marketing updates. We set a target range for the timing of the successful sale of your home. In many cases, we will sell your home faster. GUARANTEE:  If we fail to present an offer on your home within 29 days, we will give you a $200 cash credit for each week after that dash up to a maximum of $1,000 – at asterisk. We will also by your home for a pre-agreed at any time you like*.

HONEST PRESENTATION OF EXPERIENCE AND TRACK RECORD:  Everything stated about The Chambers Team throughout these materials is an accurate, factual presentation, fully supported by documentation, provided on request.   GUARANTEE:  If you can demonstrate that any of these statements of statistics is false, The Chambers Team will donate $400 to the charity of your choice after closing.

QUALIFIED BUYERS GUARANTEE:  Nothing inconveniences a seller more than being kicked out of their home during the showing process, or accepting an offer on their home only to discover, weeks later, that the buyer cannot secure their home loan. The resulting loss of time and the distress a seller feels can be a crushing economic and emotional blow:  GUARANTEE:  If we ever show your home to a buyer who later tells us that they cannot afford your home, we will give you a $400 cash credit at closing.

Who Will Write the Ad That Sells Your Home?
Words Matter.  Corey Chambers has written hundreds of real estate ads. Craig Proctor, our Real Estate Mentor and Coach, has written more than 100,000 real estate ads. Corey Chambers has paid thousands of dollars for the privilege of using those ads and learning how to write ads and other material, to present properties in the best light possible. And Corey personally writes or approves every ad, every flyer, and every website for every property — including yours. Consider this simple example: Backyard With Mountain View
There is one letter — not even a word — one letter that makes a significant difference. Further, there are over 100 descriptive words to choose from, to put in front of Mountain Views. Tranquil Mountain Views; Private Mountain Views; Breathtaking Mountain Views

Different descriptive words attract different types of buyers, prepared to pay different prices. There is a SCIENCE to this, perfected by Craig Proctor over 18 years, over 8,000 transaction, over One-Billion in total homes sold.

The Word Wizards Behind The Curtain

Corey Chambers and The Chambers Team members have invested tens of thousands of dollars learning ad creation from one of the best copywriters in North America. Only a very small percentage of agents have invested in teaming advertising strategies and obtaining licensing rights to use exclusive copy. Just one letter can make a difference!

Labor Day News Letter
Labor Day September 3, 2018

Labor Day is All Wrong!

I always thought the powers that be in the U.S. got the name wrong – Labor Day. Since it’s a Holiday intended to be just that, a Holiday – I would think the proper name would be Relax Day or Lazy Day or Off Day or Sleep in Day, something other than Labor Day. Unfortunately, most celebrate Labor Day by doing just that – Laboring. Government employees and Bank’s typically close up shop on Labor Day, but according to recent studies the majority of Americans are laboring on Labor Day. So to celebrate the month of September and the affection for Laboring, I have a special announcement to make: I will be Laboring, but for a very special reason. Right now, many would be homeowners and home sellers are caught in a catch 22. They are nervous about moving or the opposite, desperate to make a move. This is why we have developed a special program for those you know that are considering a move.

Just like the weather seasons come and seasons go, so do the seasons of life. I’m sure you have noticed, as I have, the older I get the faster the seasons move by. These “seasons of life” go by so fast, my hope is that you enjoy each one or at least grow from each one. Yes. Some of life’s seasons will be HOT and others will be COLD, some high and some low. The lows we want to move by quickly, the highs we want to stay in forever sometimes.

This is where you come in…

For the month of September, if you or anyone you know is considering making a move to a new home, we will Guarantee a minimum $10,000 Savings for every $200,000 in sales price on the home purchase or I will pay the difference*.  You read it correctly – my labor saves you and those you know considering making a move a nice chunk of change. The reason why I can make such a special offer is simply because our 15 year track record of selling homes and specialized knowledge allows us to negotiate the best deal on the best home for our best clients.

IN THIS ISSUE:  VOL 4, ISSUE 9  SEPTEMBER 2018

– HAPPY LABOR DAY
– How Your Referrals help kids
– And Much More  #realestate #newsletter

September 2018 News Letter

Even if YOU are not moving, you can still benefit

Each month in my special SoCal Home Newsletter, I ask “Who do you know that may be considering a move?” 

This is because YOUR referrals help the kids…

Anyone you know considering making a move, wanting to buy or sell their home, please refer them to me without hesitation. They will receive the guarantee I detailed above and you can rest assured your referrals will help the kids at Children’s Hospital.

With a guarantee like this, you, your friends, neighbors, work associates and family members who may be considering a move can now do so and avoid the uncertainties in the marketplace.

If you missed last month’s SoCal Home Newsletter, we are on a mission to raise $25,000 for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Helping Hands Fund, so we are donating a good portion of our income from home sales to them. As you know Children’s does a tremendous job of helping kids fight through and survive nasty life-threatening diseases like Cancers, Leukemia and non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma: stuff that many times rob the life right out of young people.

Kids under their care are 300% more likely to enter into remission IF they can get into the recovery center. BUT, the Recovery Center survives on Sponsorships and Donations. So YOUR REFERRALS REALLY DO HELP THE KIDS…

Who do you know considering buying or selling a home you could refer to my real estate sales team?

Not only will they benefit from our award-winning service, but we donate a substantial portion of our income on every home sale to Children’s Hospital Helping Hands Fund.

Why I Support Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles

I grew up right here in Los Angeles. Born right nearby at St. Francis Hospital. I remember when I first heard about a young person close to our family suffering from a nasty disease and getting treated for that at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. It was then that I began to pay closer attention to the work they do at that hospital. Since then, I have learned that it is a collection of hard-working health care professionals, most making their home right here in the SoCal area, all coming together for a common cause. That cause is to help young people overcome unfortunate health issues that life sometimes throws our way. Being a Southern California, California native, I take pride in supporting in any way that I can the good work these people do at Children’s. My team rallies around our annual goal of raising money and donating portions of our income to help Children’s in their quest to heal young people when they need healing. My team and I are committed to providing outstanding results for buyers and sellers referred to us by our past clients. I have discovered that Children’s Hospital Los Angeles shares similar commitments to their patients. And since their services survive on sponsorships and donations we are happy to contribute and proud to support them.

Sincerely,

Below is the story of a patient so young and so undaunted by his ailments that he compels us to want to face our adversities more bravely.

First, he wiggled his fingers. Then he wiggled his toes. Now, he moves his head from side to side, and he furrows his eyebrows when he doesn’t agree with you.  For 3-year-old Ali Al-Mutawa—and for his parents and family, and his doctors, nurses, and therapists at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles—these seemingly simple movements are nothing short of extraordinary. That’s because Ali was born with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), an often fatal genetic disorder that causes progressive weakness and muscle wasting. The disease has no cure, and it had no treatment, either—until Dec. 23, 2016. That’s when the Food and Drug Administration approved a drug called nusinersen, the first-ever SMA treatment.   Ali has been undergoing treatment with the drug, which goes by the brand name Spinraza, at CHLA since October 2017. “It’s a game-changer,” says Leigh Ramos-Platt, MD, Ali’s doctor and director of the Multidisciplinary Neuromuscular Clinic at CHLA. “He’s actually gaining function when he should be losing function.”

‘This is the only hope’

When Ali was born in July 2015, he appeared to be perfectly healthy. But his parents—Sarah Al-Musaileekh and Musallam Al-Mutawa—soon had him tested for SMA. They had good reason to be concerned. Although they have two healthy children—daughter Nadirah, 10, and son Aqeel, 5—the couple has lost two other children to SMA. Both of those babies, a girl, Fatima, and a boy, also named Aqeel, died before they were a year old. So when Ali’s SMA test came back positive, his parents were devastated.“I was very sad, just feeling that I will have to go through the same conditions and the same hard things I went through before,” Al-Musaileekh explains.  Sure enough, at 6 months, Ali, who has the most severe form of SMA, began to rapidly lose his ability to swallow, move and even breathe. He was hospitalized and needed a full-time ventilator to breathe and a gastrostomy tube (G-tube) to eat.  He had been in the hospital for nearly a year when Al-Musaileekh spotted the news of nusinersen’s approval while scrolling through her Instagram feed on Christmas Eve in 2016. Her first reaction was elation. But there was a problem. At the time, nusinersen was only available in the U.S., at a few specialized pediatric hospitals. Ali and his family lived half a world away, in Kuwait. The drug was not expected to be available in their country for two years—too late for Ali.

Ali’s doctor encouraged the family to apply for a Kuwaiti government program that would sponsor Ali’s treatment in the U.S. At first, Al-Musaileekh, herself a doctor, hesitated. It’s difficult to transport a critically ill child on a ventilator to the other side of the globe. Would this new drug really work?  Or would she just be putting Ali and her family through more hardship and pain, on top of everything they had already endured?  Still, she and Musallam applied for the program. When they were accepted at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, the family packed their bags and boarded a plane—embarking on a 13,000-mile journey.  “I told myself, you have nothing to lose,” says Al-Musaileekh. “This is the only hope you have.”

An innovative protocol

Ali arrived at CHLA on Oct. 2, 2017. A week later, he received his first dose of nusinersen. Chadi Zeinati, MD, director of Interventional Radiology at CHLA, carefully injected the medication into Ali’s spinal fluid.  Five days later, Ali wiggled his fingers.  It was his first movement of any kind since SMA symptoms surfaced. His family rejoiced. There was no doubt now they had made the right decision.  “For the first time since Ali’s birth, I felt happy,” says his mom.

While not a cure, nusinersen helps the body make more of a protein called survival motor neuron (SMN). SMN is essential for motor neurons, which control muscle movement. In SMA patients, the gene that normally makes SMN is missing or mutated, causing their motor neurons to die. Nusinersen is not the only part of Ali’s treatment, though. Although most children receive the drug as an outpatient injection, CHLA is one of the few centers in the country to also develop an innovative inpatient treatment protocol. The protocol combines nusinersen injections with intensive physical, occupational, respiratory and speech therapies.  Like Ali, many children on this protocol have made dramatic strides. “We have a couple of patients who are even coming off their ventilators for the entire day, and only need ventilation while sleeping,” Ramos-Platt notes. “It’s remarkable.”About 50 patients, including seven from Kuwait, are being actively treated with nusinersen at CHLA, both as inpatients and outpatients. The program—a collaboration between Neurology, Pulmonology, Rehabilitation, Interventional Radiology, and Orthopaedics—began just three months after the drug’s approval.

“A lot of people from across CHLA worked extremely hard to get this program started quickly so we could make a difference for these kids, no matter where they come from,” Ramos-Platt adds. “This has been a huge team effort.”  For Kuwaiti patients like Ali, a big part of that effort is the Center for Global Health at CHLA, which serves as a vital liaison between families, embassies, and the hospital’s medical team. The Center works closely with each family throughout their stay at CHLA — giving them a primary point of contact and coordinating everything from admissions, meetings with the medical team, translation services, assistance in securing housing and a bank account, and eventually, discharge planning and seamless transfer of care back to their home country.  “It’s not easy to come to a new country, a totally new place, a totally new health system, and families have no relatives or friends here to help them,” explains Anahit Petrosyan, RN, BSN, nurse care manager for the Center for Global Health. “We become their first point of contact, and we advocate for them. It’s a very close relationship.”

From teddy bears to storytime

So far, Ali has received five nusinersen injections, along with intense rehab, and is continuing to improve. He can now flap and turn his hands and flex his feet. He’s even trying to grasp objects with his fingers. Although his tracheostomy tube has prevented him from talking, he makes frequent “baby sounds” to try to communicate. In SMA, cognitive development is completely normal.  That means that inside, Ali is just like any other 3-year-old boy. The things that bring him joy will be familiar to any parent of a young child: Curious George cartoons; a soft, cuddly teddy bear; toys with bright lights and fun sounds; and most of all, the telling of a story.  “He loves stories!” says his mom. “Especially jungle stories and stories with animals.”  Eventually, Ali and his family will be able to go home and receive nusinersen treatment in Kuwait. That date is not yet set. But there’s more hope on the horizon. Research in SMA treatments is ongoing, and a gene therapy currently in clinical trials has shown promise.  “This disease was a death sentence,” Ramos-Platt adds. “To see this progress is really, really exciting.”Ali’s parents want to let other families know that there is hope for children with SMA. They also want to say thank you.  “Everyone at CHLA has been very caring and supportive,” Al-Musaileekh says. “I am just thankful for God’s blessing and for the staff at CHLA, and for having the opportunity to have hope for this devastating condition.”

Indio Homes for Sale

INDIO HOMES FOR SALE   |   NEW HOMES   |   UNLISTED HOMES FOR SALE

IndioForSale.com
Indio (the Spanish word for Indian) is a city in Riverside County, located in the Coachella Valley 23 miles east of Palm Springs, and 127 miles east of Los Angeles.  The City of Indio grew into existence, starting in 1876, because of the need for a halfway point between Yuma, Arizona and Los Angeles where the Southern Pacific Railroad could refill its engines with water.  The first permanent building in Indio was the Southern Pacific Depot station and hotel.

Although Indio started as a railroad town, the local economy later revolved around agriculture. Today, real estate is among the largest of Indio’s industries.  #indio #homes #forsale

Homes for Sale, Indio CA

Indio developments and neighborhoods include: Bella Vida, Desert Collection, Desert Trace, Foxstone, Fred Waring, Generations, Haciendas, Indio Blvd, Indio Blvd / Jackson Street, Las Brisas, Miles-Clinton, Montecello II, Mountain Estates, North Indio, Pallazo, Paradiso, RCB Resort,  Regency Park, Sandhurst Cove, Shadow Hills, Shadow Hills Villas, Shadow Ranch, Silverwood, Sonora Wells, Sun City, Sun Gold, Sun Gold Park, Talavera andTerralago,

The USDA built the “Date Station” in Indio in 1907 and performed scientific research on the fruit that grew to be a major part of Indio culture.  This research helped turn the Coachella Valley into the leader of date production with exports shipped all the way to the middle east- the County Fair became known for its theme featuring dates and Middle Eastern styles.

Coachella and Thermal became larger cities than Indio for a time, but Indio retained the name as the “Hub of the Valley”, and by the 1930’s it was a thriving city which outpaced its neighbors and incorporated.  On September 6, 1930, storekeeper Fred Kohler received the first official business license from the city.  Visiting soldiers from Patton’s training grounds in Chiriaco Summit located 30 miles to the east also helped the city to grow.  After the recession of the late 2000s, the local economy has rebounded and wealthier residents have moved in fueling something of a real estate boom.

High mountain ranges on three sides of the Coachella Valley contribute to its year-round warm climate, with some of warmest winters west of the Rockies.  Indio has a warm winter and hot summer climate.  Low temperatures in the winter average a mild 62°F, but summer highs can reach 120°F during the day time and night lows often stay above 82°F.  Average annual precipitation is under 4 inches with at least 348 days of sunshine per year.

Indio has its own police department.  The city contracts for fire and paramedic services with the Riverside County Fire Department through a cooperative agreement.  Indio has 4 fire stations housing 4 engine companies, 3 paramedic ambulances and 1 truck company.

Economy

County Fair and Date Festival, Indio

Year-round agriculture and tourism are the two major sources of revenue for the city with the majority of tourism between October and May.  Indio is one of Southern California’s most important agricultural regions, and still grows most of the nation’s crop of dates.  The area has seen some decline in agriculture however, as new residential development has pushed the date and citrus groves and vegetable fields to the south and southeast of the city.  Travelers from around the world still can stop by Shields Date Gardens though, where a large retail store is still maintained next to State Highway 111 in Indio.  Over the past decade, most new jobs have been in the retail and hospitality industries with many hotel and golf resorts being built in the area.  There is some light industry in the city dating back to the 1960’s with companies producing ammunition for the U.S. military, train engines for Southern Pacific, and even moon rover and computer parts for the Apollo moon landing program.

Many corporations have also located offices in indio because of the low cost and easy access to major transportation routes.  Some of the businesses include fruit packing and shipping firms, United States Filter Corporation, Guy Evans Inc., Dimare Fruit Co., West Coast Turf, Sun World Inc.; and move-in companies such as Borden, Coca-Cola, Ernie Ball, Ernst and Young, Ferguson, Fulton Distributors, Guthy-Renker, Pulte Homes, Sunrise Company, SunScape Tech and Tala Industries.

There are two Native American owned casinos in and near Indio: the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino, owned by the Cabazon Band of Mission Indians, and the Spotlight 29 Casino, owned by the Twenty-Nine Palms Band.

Arts and culture

Southwestern Art Festival

The Indio Chamber of Commerce has made the city’s official nickname “The City of Festivals” because of the many festivals and special events held there annually.  Two major annual festivals held here are the National Date Festival and the Indio International Tamale Festival.

The Riverside County Fair and National Date Festival are held each February at the fairgrounds, located on Highway 111 in the heart of Indio.  Since 1947, this festival has celebrated the the Coachella Valley date fruit crop because of its importance to the regions economy and culture.

The Tamale Festival is held each December on the streets of Old Town Indio and is one of the world’s largest tamale festivals with 120,000 in attendance for the Dec. 2000 event.  The festival also once held the record for the world’s largest tamale, over 1 foot in diameter and 40 feet in length!

The Riverside County Fairgrounds also hosts various events year round such as music concerts, 4×4 monster truck rallies, rodeos or other special events.

In 1993, Pearl Jam performed a concert at the Empire Polo Club in Indio and six years later the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival was born.  Coachella has become an annual event that brings bands and musicians known around the world to the desert, including: AC/DC, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Guns N’ Roses, Prince, Paul McCartney, Kanye West, Radiohead, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Pixies, The Cure, The White Stripes, Jay-Z, Tool, Beastie Boys, Jane’s Addiction, Roger Waters and hundreds more.  In May 2007, the promoters of Coachella started Stagecoach, a two-day country music festival held the weekend following the Coachella. Performers have included George Strait, Kenny Chesney, the Eagles, Sugarland, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood and Kid Rock.

Indio is also the site of the annual Southwest Arts Festival, the Cabazon Indian National Pow Wow, the Heritage Festival at the Coachella Valley History Museum, and many more.

Some other points of interest are the Coachella Valley History Museum on Miles Avenue in Indio which has a two-acre campus, that includes the Smiley-Tyler House, built in 1926, the 1909 Schoolhouse, and the Date Museum dedicated to the history and development of the fruit (the only date museum in the world), plus gardens and archives preserving historical artifacts of the Coachella Valley.  Visitors can also find 10 murals around the city, painted on the sides of various buildings in old town and a water reservoir tank on Monroe Street depicting the city’s history and cultural roots.

Education

Indio High School

Indio is served by two public school districts: Desert Sands Unified and on the city’s south eastern corner, Coachella Valley Unified.  Indio’s six elementary and two middle schools are highly rated under the California Distinguished Schools program. Because of Indio’s growing population and above-average number of young people with families, the two school districts are expanding, with plans on building more schools, along with remodeling the older ones with new buildings and designs.

Indio Middle School is one of 18 high-performing schools in California recognized as academically excellent, developmentally responsive, socially equitable, and structured for success.

Blending the vibrancy of a charming retail center and the enjoyment of an extensive swim club together with the serenity of miles of walking and biking trails, La Floresta in Brea is the ideal setting for your new residence.  When completed, La Floresta is planned to include:

  • An 87,000 square-foot retail center with indoor/outdoor dining, charming shops, and offices

There will be about 1,100 homes at La Floresta in total, on 120 acres located at the corner of Imperial Highway and Valencia.  Current plans for land use estimate about 70% of residences will be for all ages with the remaining 30% being age-qualified.

New Homes for Sale - La Floresta, Brea CA

Standard Pacific Homes (now part of CalAtlantic Homes) designed and built the Paseo Townhomes, Avenida single family homes, and Camino homes.  Van Daele Homes designed and built three neighborhoods including Ventanas single family homes and Alterra single level stacked flats, which included some live-work residences, and Castile, a collection of charming bungalows and flats with private courtyards and garages.

Alterra features single-level flats and two-story live/work residences designed with richly detailed, three-story Spanish style architecture and include two-car garages for each home. Four innovative floor plans offers up to three bedrooms and provide open concept living and dining areas, gourmet kitchens with abundant cabinetry and decks or porches.

Castile, currently sold out, is an enchanting village of 30 single-family detached bungalow homes and carriage flats. These unique single-level and two story residences offer two to four bedrooms and up to 3.5 baths, private courtyards for outdoor entertaining and private garages.

Residents of the Olvera and Solana collection of homes will have access to an exclusive private clubhouse with complete amenities and programs to develop your creative, social, physical and intellectual abilities.  These 2 collections of detached single and two story homes from approximately 1400 to 3000 square feet will feature the latest trends in new home designs with open living layouts, gourmet kitchens anchored by oversized kitchen islands and entries with built-in bench and cubbies.

Solana – Madrid Kitchen

The Village at La Floresta is bustling with activity since Whole Foods Market opened its first North Orange County location in February 2017.  Whole Foods anchors the new retail hub located in the mixed use master planned community of La Floresta in Brea.  The occasion was marked by inviting Brea’s Mayor to participate in a bread-breaking ceremony with Whole Foods team members, city officials and the community.  At the event, shoppers received free samples and the first 300 people to enter the store received reusable shopping bags.  Kids enjoyed bag decorating with vegetable stamps.  There were also food demonstrations, a DJ and a photo booth.

Whole Foods Market and Retail Center

What makes this a special shopping and dining experience at the Village is Oasis, a $2.5 million dollar kinetic sculpture designed by artists Douglas Hollis and Anna Valentina Murch.  Located just outside the front doors of Whole Foods, the art piece was celebrated by the community on April 9 where Hollis, local dignitaries and members of the project team including La Floresta Project Manager Ivan Jimenez dedicated the art piece.

La Floresta Swim Club will offer a place for residents of the all-age neighboorhood to meet and play in a one-of-a-kind building with Spanish-Romantic architecture reflective of the residential architecture sprinkled throughout the community.

The expansive private Club offers indoor multipurpose rooms and a catering kitchen, as well as an outdoor pool, spa, showers and a dining patio with barbecues and seating for small parties. The thoughtful designs are reflective of the multi-generational residents who will be using the Club.  Residents and their guests can enjoy a recreational lawn, fire pit and interactive water feature for children.  The Club is surrounded by beautiful, lush landscaping including mature trees, plants and flowers.

Brea’s nine schools have an excellent reputation in Orange County for academics, athletics, and cultural arts and music. Awards include National Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence, California Distinguish Schools and several educators have been recognized as California and Orange County Teacher of the Year. Residents living in La Floresta will reap the benefits of the Brea Olinda Unified School District’s commitment to excellence including a newly constructed elementary school within walking distance from their homes.

Athletics are also engrained into Brea’s community culture. BOHS athletic teams have won perhaps more league championships than any other Orange County school over the past quarter century. Team sports, such as basketball, football, soccer, track & field, swimming, softball, baseball, golf and volleyball have enjoyed great success and continue to rank among the top contenders in the Century League.

Outstanding arts and vocational programs are prevalent at all school levels. The School District has a regionally recognized model Photography program and the junior high and high schools’ vocal music classes feed into the United Choir of Brea, an award winning show choir with more than 120 participants.

Capriana, a world-class Continuing Care Retirement Community managed by Oakmont Senior Living, has been completed and features 75 apartment homes, four casitas (individual homes), and a care center for those ages 60+.

Hollywood Los Angeles Homes for Sale

Hollywood Los Angeles Homes for Sale

Located in central LA, Hollywood is known as the home of the US film industry and for its diverse population and cultures.  Many of the historic film studio buildings still exist, and the name “Hollywood” has become synonymous for the US movie industry and the people in it.  Hollywood was recognized as a growing community in 1870, incorporated in 1903, and became a part of Los Angeles in 1910 as the film industry began to grow and become the most well-known place in the world for film and media. Today the area is home to over 4 million people (US Census estimate, July 2016).  Other areas within Hollywood are Franklin Village, Little Armenia, Spaulding Square, and Thai Town.

Hollywood is defined by Hollywood Hills to the north, Los Feliz to the northeast, East Hollywood to the east, Larchmont and Hancock Park to the south, Fairfax to the southwest, West Hollywood to the west and Hollywood Hills West on the northwest side (“Mapping L.A. project” of the LA Times).  The street boundaries of Hollywood are Hollywood Blvd. on the north, Western Ave. to the east, Melrose Ave. to the south, and La Brea Avenue on the west.

EARLY HISTORY

Homes for Sale Hollywood, Los Angeles
Hollywood, Los Angeles, in 1907 (intersection of Hollywood and Highland)

In 1850’s there were few people living in the area of “Nopalera” (named for the Mexican Nopal cactus common in the area), but an agricultural community soon developed and by the 1870’s it came to be known as the Cahuenga Valley.  There is a story that an early property owner and developer in the area, H.J. Whitley, was standing on top of a hill looking out over the valley when a Chinese man in a wagon stopped to greet him.  When Whitley asked him what he was doing, the man replied “I holly-wood” although he meant to say “I hauling wood”, and Whitley later decided to name the town he later founded “Hollywood”.  Whitley started the “Los Angeles Pacific Boulevard and Development Company” and bought 480 acres of land surrounding Highland Avenue and began building, although it was another land owner, Harvey Wilcox, who officially registered the name “Hollywood” with the LA County Recorder’s Office in 1887.  After an initial interest in the area, growth and investment slowed until the early 1900’s.

Hollywood Homes for Sale
Hollywood 1922

The first hotel in Hollywood was opened in 1902 by Whitley as the population of Los Angeles reached about 100,000 people, and gradually became known around the world as the home of the stars.  There was a single-track streetcar line running from LA to Hollywood, but the trip took two hours if it was running at all.  The area’s economy was mostly agricultural, known for its barley fields, citrus groves, and vineyards.  Whitley’s company continued to invest thousands of dollars in the area to promote it and attract people and businesses, with improvements such as electricity, street lighting, and a bank.

In 1904, residents of Hollywood voted to prohibit sales and possession of liquor except for “medicinal use”, and in 1910 merged with the City of Los Angeles to gain access to water and the sewage system.  Many major motion picture companies began to set up production in the area, partly due to the ideal weather and access to many different settings, in spite of the fact that movie theaters had been banned in Hollywood!  This changed after the merger with Los Angeles as they had no such restrictions on theaters (or alcohol).  The first film to be made in Hollywood was in 1910 and the first official movie studio, the Nestor Company, opened in late 1911.  By the 1920’s, Paramount, Warner Bros., RKO, and Columbia had studios in Hollywood (sometimes also called “Tinseltown”) and movies became the 5th largest industry in the country.

RECENT HISTORY

The famous “HOLLYWOOD” sign built on the hills overlooking the neighborhood actually started out as “HOLLYWOODLAND”, and was an advertisement for a housing development of the same name.  The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce repaired and rebuilt the sign in 1949, and removed the “LAND”.  The Hollywood “Walk of Fame” was officially opened in February of 1960, and now contains over 2,600 “stars” embedded in the sidewalk as a tribute to the many stars and contributors of the entertainment industry.

During the 1980’s, Hollywood began to decline and many famous landmarks became threatened by developers seeking to rebuild and update the area.  Some of the buildings have been embraced by modern media companies, such as the former home of CBS’s headquarters at Columbia Square (built in 1938) which became offices for MTV, Comedy Central, BET and Spike TV.  Nonetheless, many areas face continuing gentrification due the efforts of both private developers and public planning commissions who seek to revitalize the area.

HOLLYWOOD TODAY

The 10 public K-12 schools in Hollywood are operated by Los Angeles Unified School District and there are 2 public libraries.

Notable places include CBS Columbia Square, Charlie Chaplin Studios, Cinerama Dome, Crossroads of the World, Dolby Theatre (originally the Kodak Theater and home of the Oscars), Earl Carroll Theatre (currently Nickelodeon on Sunset), El Capitan Theatre, Frederick’s of Hollywood, and Gower Gulch.  Notable events include The Academy Awards, the annual Hollywood Christmas Parade, The Hollywood Half Marathon (to raise money and awareness for local youth homeless shelters).
