Events & Weather in Pine Mountain Club, CA

Just around the corner you'll find it. The 4th. Waiting for you or your loved ones to recall it fondly later. How incredible it was. It's approaching and what you plan to do now will become someones fond memory.

This years celebrations will be filled with sunshine, family, music, BBQ, dance, and so much more. Kim and I will be relaxing on the greens and listening to the music, shaking hands with friends, enjoying the day as we often do. Please stop by and say "hello."

Summertime and the living is easy. . . at least here on the hill. 

We are so blessed to live in such a fantastic location. Yesterday reminded me once again with a short hop into Bakersfield. The temps there broke 102 degrees. The thick air and bumper to bumper traffic, the store was filled with people who seemed angry. We ran home and immediately upon exiting the freeway my pulse declined as I brought the window down to the cool fresh air smashing my cheeks.

At home it was a mild 72 degrees when we arrived. There were no sounds. No people around us. Nothing but us and our dog, Bentley. 

And this folks is exactly how I love it. Why I love it. 

Come on down and visit soon!
Anthony

What an incredible month April was. We held our annual client journey to the Tejon Ranch to see the wildflowers. Those who were able to attend took some amazing pictures as always. It is the one single day Kim and I plan well ahead of time and take "off" every year and we share it with our clients. We thank all our other clients for allowing us that time. It truly shows just how amazing the folks moving up here truly are. Thank you all again for giving us that day!

May begins the season that makes us all smile! With Lilac Festival just around the corner Kim and I are very busy preparing. This year we sponsored the event to insure they have a program for all who attend. We have also sponsored the PMC Guitar Society booth. Please stop by the weekend of the 18th and see us and them! ... 

The number of full timers continues to climb here on the hill which means more families and more children. Events are beginning with concert-on-the-greens on various Saturdays between 4 - 6:30 pm. If you come and join in on the event you'll see a huge rise in the children population; more smiles and games.

The weather is near perfect and we wake every day feeling absolutely blessed to be a small part of this amazing community. Thank you all for helping make us who we are. Stop in and say hello, soon!

The air is still a bit chilly. winter has lingered long enough.

As the snow melts at the feet of the trees, in the shady spots and covered areas we watch. Critters are waking and sprouts are breaking through the ground surface. it is that time soon where the wild flowers stretch for the heavens. There is nothing more to do than sit back and let the new year truly begin.

Kim and I have been busy booking appointments and we are definitely looking forward to these folks becoming new neighbors and friends. Spring has sprung and we are in awe of what is ahead.

Reach out and say hello if you're in the village.
Anthony & Kim 

We are expecting snow this weekend.  If cars are parked on the street, your street will not be plowed. The plows slip and slide on ice and could run into any cars parked on the street.  To be on the safe side for our drivers, they will not plow your street if a car/cars are parked on the street. Per Association Rule Article 6: 6.06 in part reads “Parking on Association roads, including unpaved as well as paved portions thereof, is not permitted.” 
 
If you’re going to be gone from your home for a couple of days or more, remember to leave the heat on low or leave a trickle of water running to avoid the surprise of frozen pipes. Make sure all your pipes under your house and the ones goings into your home are well insulated. Does the clubhouse have your most current Phone Number?  If they need to reach you due to a broken water pipe that is observed by someone in your neighborhood and there is no number on file with them they can’t reach you in a timely manner.

The year is starting out strong! There are so many events to look forward to this year. Kim and I are thrilled knowing that there are so many new friends and new neighbors to meet. We do hope that you celebrate this year with us. Make 2019 your year to become a neighbor here on the hill!

We are proud to sponsor the Guitar Society again this year. We were the flagship sponsors last year and again look to be a part of their year. Visit their website for a little info. Click here. We will be hosting them during Lilac Festival this year in April. Visit our booth and you'll see them in the adjoining booth. Stay tuned for dates.

The Frazier Park Little League is one of local clubs we enjoy sponsoring as well. Look for our team of little folks out there. They'll be wearing the tiniest uniforms with the longest wording on the back, "yourhomeonthehill.com." We are so happy to be able to help here, again and look forward to some games! Come join us.

These are just two of our favorite clubs. We contribute to many other folks and look forward to helping out elsewhere as the year progresses. Feel free to discuss with us whenever you see us.

Cheers
Anthony & Kim

It's a brand new year! Kim and I are excited to begin new. New goals to hit. New friends to make. New dreams to help become a reality. 

Out our office window the clouds threaten us with snow. They have no idea that there truly is no threat. We are prepared. Our wood is stacked. Our pantry is filled with food & water. The cars have gas. There is nothing that can take us away from the winter that is about to break.

Occasionally the snow bunnies find their way into our office to ask about a hotel room or directions to the hottest sledding locations. They try to find cellular service to no avail. They come and they go and we sit here, happy to know we have nowhere we'd rather be.

Thank you all for helping us achieve our goals for the year 2018. We wanted to be the top two agents on the hill. So happy you helped us realize that. 

Stay tuned for this next year. Exciting things on the horizon. Everyone can be a part of our story. Stop in and say "hello" any time.

​Anthony & Kim

It truly is Christmas time in the Village. 

We'd like to give a huge shout out to those folks who helped decorate the Pine Mtn Village Center this year. The volunteers and merchants who took the time to make the buildings in the village festive have gone all out. Come visit the lights at night and enjoy the silence the chill brings.

As we draw closer to the big day we are noticing a rise in the number of families visiting. Many are visiting for their first time. Others are showing up to share the day with their local family members. Thank you all for being so thoughtful in regards to slow driving and conscientious participation in the community. 

Please drop by our office if you are in the village and share a few minutes of your lives with us during this season. We'd love ot say "hello."

Anthony & Kim

Santa has been so busy as Christmas draws nearer! Mrs Claus reached out to ask if we could change the day and time he dropped in. So if you happen to be in the village on Saturday the 22nd from Noon until 3:00 PM please drop by our office and get your picture taken with the Big Guy at no charge whatsoever! 

See y'all here!
​Anthony & Kim

We are so blessed to have so much to do on the hill this holiday season. Here's a bullet point list of events and such. Hope to see y'all there. Please say "hello" when you see us!
Anthony & Kim

- Santa's Mail Drop: Stop by the office and bring your kiddos and their letters to Santa. We will insure that he receives their letters prior to Christmas.

- Santa's Visit: The big man will be here at our office on the 15th of December. (Stay tuned for his time of arrival). Come have your picture taken free of charge!

- November 23rd: Tree Lighting begins at 5:00 PM. Visit us at our office before heading over to the clubhouse parking lot for the lighting beginning at 5:45 PM. We will have free cappuccino for anyone who drops by. Dress warmly!

 - November 24th is the Holiday Craft Faire: 10: AM until 3: PM in the clubhouse. Come buy your Christmas loot!

- Toys for Tots: Bring your new and un-opened toys to the clubhouse lobby. All toys collected go directly to mountain children. Please donate prior to Dec 17th.

- Dec 22nd: Come have breakfast with Santa! More info to follow. 

It is quickly approaching that time of year when the weather turns and the chill in the air is something found in the absence of sound here. We wake to silence knowing our day is already filled with patience and peace. There is nowhere we would rather be than here.

When I roll over in the morning I can tell the time of day by the placement of the sun against the hill across the valley outside my window. The shadows left by the night slowly vanish while the sunlight warms the branches. Everything is alive and breathing.

I would live no other place. So pleased. So blessed.

Stay tuned for the events of the holiday season.
Anthony

Where did the summer go? The fall is quickly falling past as well. We are blessed to be able to enjoy the season as cooler weather comes in. It doesn't seem to be slowing anyone looking to purchase or sell however. 

Kim and I have been busier than the summer months as it seems others are enjoying their time off. Time to hibernate for some who believe that homes don't sell during the cooler months. SHHHHHHH!!! Don't wake them. We are happy to help.

Kim and I are looking forward to Halloween and the trunk-or-treaters who come to the village center. Our office remodel is nearly completed and our cappuccino machine is getting a tune up. All that is left for us to do is invite all our fellow neighbors to come down and park in front of our office with their trunks filled with candy. Come on down!

Anthony & Kim

That is correct! After less than two years since we closed our very first escrow we are so blessed to say that we just closed our 100th. Thanks to everyone who helped play a part in that. Y'all truly played the largest role and we simply helped you along your path. 

What is it that this next year will bring? Only time will tell.

Cheers!
​Anthony & Kim

We heard it just yesterday. A un-named Realtor stated, "Summers over. You should pull your home off the market until Spring."

I am not the one who will jump in the way of someone else conversation. But I promise that the next time I see the person she was speaking with I will discuss this in length.

First, summer is not over. True that kids are back in school but the weather continues to be amazing. People are up and enjoying the hiking trails, serene atmosphere, blue skies, and friendship. Add to that it is almost the beginning of the "season." I'm not talking about hunting season. I'm TALKING ABOUT INVESTOR SEASON.

Second home buyers and investors come out in our fourth quarter to snatch up the deals they cannot find anywhere else. They're here.. they're paying cash most often . . . and they want a quick escrow. With so few properties available for sale please do not take yours off the market! Allow Kim and I to do that by selling it!

We have just listed some amazing homes. Take a few minutes and check us out on Zillow.com and look at our listings. When you are ready to take a day and relax, call us. Let us show you why folks make PMC their home away from home.

​Anthony

Look for many new changes to come over this next year! We are readdressing how our team works together, our processes for improved customer service, and our inventory / listing managers role. 

Many companies rest when they are on top. Not us. I believe that is exactly when you push the bar a bit higher. It's time to re-evaluate what we can do to make it that much quicker and easier for our clients. 

Please stop by and give me your thought. Happy to chat with you.

Anthony

Lilac Festival is over. . . but not forgotten!

This year we all enjoyed the weather and the new visitors roaming the streets. It seemed that we saw more folks who claimed it to be their very first time ever here on the hill. Lots of younger families and some amazing retired folks as well. What a mix!

​The gumball guesser was awesome. She missed the number by 41. She looked to be happy and will definitely enjoy her gumballs. The dentist may as well.

​Last years gumball guesser showed up to guess again. She let us know that she still hasn't opened her jar. If you recall she had just had her braces installed on the Friday preceding last years Lilac Festival. The jar is still sealed. Her braces are not off. Stay tuned!

​Today the first convert on the greens for the year is kicking off the season! Kim and I will be there shortly. Say hi and have a seat whenever you see us!

​Cheers.
​Anthony & Kim

Get ready for another amazing day on the hill! This years festivities will be numerous. The weather is supposed to be excellent and the food is always delightful. 

​Kim and I will be handing out some treats at our booth so please drop in and say "hello."

​For anyone wondering if the time to list and sell is here. . . . I can only say a very loud, "YES! We need your home now!" So if you are considering selling please stop off and schedule with Kim so we may come visit your home and give you a no obligation, free comparative analysis of your homes value.

​During the festival we will be handing out an "Open House Map" to our many listings that haven't sold as of Lilac Festival.

​Please stop by!
​Anthony & Kim 

What an amazing day! Once again many thanks go out to our great friend Ellery of the Tejon Ranch Conservancy and his incredible hospitality. Thanks to them we spent the day with some recent new neighbors touring the northern side of the ranch this year. While the wildflowers were not as abundant as last year the scenery was spectacular and the folks we were able to share the day with were wonderful.

​Enjoy a few pics of the day in the below gallery.

​Meanwhile the immediate futures top items to share:

This Friday Vince Venay will be entertaining us from 9-11PM in the Condor Lounge for Acoustic Friday. It has truly been a pleasure and the seating is limited so come early.

​The Clubhouse Task Force will also meet this Saturday the 14th at 1m in the Condor room. Please ask as many questions as you need to be better informed. Help us improve, together.

I cannot believe that Winter is over. A chill remains in the crisp air. Snow rests at the feet of the trees. Everything is still and waits. . . except our furry friends. 

​Bunnies and deer are active right now. Everywhere you look there is some form of friendly life wandering. The only break in silence is often the sounds little footstep take. It's near perfect.

​We will begin to see the bright green from recent watering crack to amazing colors. In a rush we will wake to find ourselves within the wild flowers of the hill. I am all too ready to enjoy what nature brings us this year.

​Come visit and allow us to help you find your home on the hill so you too can enjoy waking within the beauty.

What an amazing month this has been! We have been blessed again. 

​The last couple weekends we have had more 120 visitors come through our Open Houses on Saturday. If we were in the city I would think that to be a bit light. But with only 15-20 homes a month selling up here on the hill that sort of turn out is unheard of.

​Since we have about 25% of the listed market I'd expect to have the same in escrow. Indeed we do. That and more.

​It seems that folks are listening to us as well. Or perhaps they are listening to their friends whose homes we are selling. We have six homes coming onboard these next couple weeks through the 8th of March already.  It is absolutely the best time to list and get a jump on the traffic that is coming in to buy.

​If you are hoping to move to the hill you are positioned well to be able to snatch up the gems before the spring rush and upward price jump that is about to occur! I'm excited for our new friends and neighbors coming in. This year is going to be the best ever!

​Kim and I are planning our Lilac Festival and welcome any input as to what we should do. Please let us know your thoughts.  We will be having a booth and handing out a bunch of cool stuff, shaking hands, playing corn-hole, and enjoying the weather. It seems something else could be done. Let us know your thoughts.

​This year we are sponsoring a little league team in Frazier Park and are very excited to be able to do so. If you or your friends are on our team please reach out and say hello. We would love to help make your practices and game days exceptional!

Come see us soon!

Thank you all so much for respecting our time! 

​Time is the one thing nobody can simply replace or buy more of. We work with some great folks who understand that.

Most of our clients are the type of folks who listen to us and know that we hear them when they speak. So the ability to be able to take ten days away from the office and not be challenged with returning text, email, phone calls while we celebrated our honeymoon was first class and highly appreciated. Again thanks to all who allowed us our time!

​Now it's YOUR TIME! We are back to work and preparing for a huge Winter & Spring. While other realtors are hibernating we are listing homes. With eight new listings coming aboard during the month of February we expect to replace a good chunk those listings we currently have. 

​The active available homes on the market is still dropping so please do not hesitate to take advantage of the market while most folks are waiting until Spring. Be ahead of them and get the most for your home early in the year!

Give us a jingle and let's chat. Call and say, "I read your blog and I'm ready to list" and I'll give you a little something that is priceless when you do.

I keep hearing folks tell me that "their realtor" told them that now is not the time to list. "It's winter and nobody buys in the winter." This cannot be farther form the truth.

​What the realtors are really saying is, "It's going to get cold and I don't want to have to get out of bed, go to the office, take care of a property, etc. So please wait until I am ready to go to work before you list your home."

​Kim and I have realized that those realtors don't seem to open their office doors on time or even at all many days during the winter months. We have our office open at 9am and we close at 5pm (though haven't actually closed regularly for some time.) We "try" to take Wednesdays off. However with the number of folks who have property for sale elsewhere off the hill we tend to use that day to help them as well.

​In the last year and a half we have taken 5 days off. We used that time to get married. We're planning our Honeymoon in January 2018. Additionally we plan on taking a week "off" from the 22nd through the 27th of December to visit family in Chattanooga, TN. 

​However planning is everything. With our team on the hill (which is the largest team in PMC) we will have folks in place to insure that our clients receive the absolute best care while we are away.

​So if you plan on selling your home in the near future do not let the winter freeze slow you down. Reach out to us directly and we will happily get your home sold. Here are our year end numbers:

Homes sold for sellers YTD: 23
​Homes sold for buyers YTD: 37
​Number of cancelled or withdrawn listings we've had YTD: 1
​Homes currently in escrow: 9
​Number of homes sold for the entire PMC community per month: 14
​Number of homes We have sold in the entire PMC community each month: 5
Median discount off adjusted list price in the community YTD: 2.8%

​Those are some stout numbers for our little community. We are indeed grateful for everyone who has believed in us and allowed us to represent them. If you'd like to be a part of our success story please reach out and let's chat.

​In the meantime, be safe, stay warm & toasty, and enjoy your family time. 

Hope to chat / see y'all soon!
​Anthony & Kim
