Yolanda has just awoken from a relaxing summertime siesta and we are eager — nay, anxious — to catch up on the fast-paced real estate market of today. However, we are also majorly disappointed to hear that some rude dude named James is attempting to take credit for our fame and industry status. Listen buddy, […]

It seems as though everyone is in a tizzy to learn more about the real estate doings of Instagram “King” Dan Bilzerian, a guy with a penchant for trophy bachelor pads and ludicrously lavish living if there ever was one. Though he was gone from LA for a hot minute, Mr. Bilzerian is back “to […]

If y’all somehow haven’t heard, our real estate market has been on the upswing for the past, oh, seven or eight years now. As a result, it’s really no surprise that LA’s highest of the high-end residential property brokers are feeling flush enough to afford the prodigiously expensive homes typically eyed only by their most […]

Thanks to an Orange County-based informant, Yolanda has learned that a very big transaction just went down — quietly — in what is arguably the OC’s most prestigious gated community: Laguna Beach’s Irvine Cove. And the sale price of nearly $36 million in cash — $35,820,000, to be exact — makes it the biggest deal […]

“The market has peaked,” they said. “Another recession is looming,” they said. While rising interest rates and stagnant demand have indeed caused prices to plateau in some areas of Los Angeles, other places — particularly those highly exclusive sections of town where the rich folks dwell — continue to see home sale prices surge to […]

Hey y’all, this is a pretty slow week for real estate so we’re gonna pull one out of the archives for today. If that bothers you, don’t fret — Yolanda will have something current soon enough. Just sit back and relax. So anyway, let’s jump right in. It seems that Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy […]

Today is Independence Day here in the States, so naturally Yolanda wanted to write a story with some sort of patriotic theme or tie-in. But although we racked and racked our little brains, we just couldn’t think of anything. Finally, however, we stumbled across the perfect story! After all, few things — other than baseball, […]

Just like anything else, architectural fads come and go. En vogue right now — at least in LA — is the so-called “modern farmhouse“. We like to think of this style as kind of like Traditional architecture, albeit with a rustic yet sophisticated twist. Start with an large family-friendly mansion, add some distressed wood inside […]

Way back in 2013, ultra-wealthy dancing philanthropist Glorya Kaufman — she’s the widow of KB Home co-founder Donald Kaufman — heaved her mammoth compound in the upper reaches of Brentwood’s Mandeville Canyon onto the market with a $40 million pricetag. Amber Hills, as it is known, features a main house originally built in the 1940s […]

Hi folks, today is a travel day for Yolanda so unfortunately we don’t have time to write out a full diatribe like we normally do. Instead, let’s quickly touch on a rather (in)famous house up in that guard-gated development known as Bel Air Crest. For those who might not be aware, Bel Air Crest sits […]
