Malibu is dotted with small wineries that will satisfy your thirst for award-winning wines while offering a slightly more casual and festive atmosphere than the larger vineyards to the north. Malibu is also home to several private wineries that will host private events, weddings, and corporate affairs.

The Hollywood Riviera and Redondo Beach areas have experienced solid median sale price gains over the last four years, with South Redondo Beach leading the way with a 46.58% price increase since 2011.

It’s late July and we’re deep in the dog days of summer. I always find myself feeling at loose ends this time of year. School’s been out for weeks and kids are restless. Businesses operate on reduced schedules as employees take a vacation and then have to play catch-up when they return. Popular TV shows are on hiatus or re-runs, retailers are selling off last season’s merchandise and Major League Baseball is still months away from the playoffs.

James Respondek of Sotheby’s Pacific Palisades

Always one to know how to strike a deal, James Respondek got his start in real estate at the age of 18, after he bought his first property in Australia and later sold for almost double of the original price. He then made his way back to the United States, settling in the Palisades area in the late 1970s, making it both his home and chosen real estate market.
