Technology is a wonderful thing… Especially when you view it and use it as a device to quickly deliver important information to people that want to hear what you have to say.

Today’s info can be found over at our other blog www.PointDumeHomesForSale.com and I’ll tell you why it is really valuable stuff! A new listing has surfaced on the Malibu real estate market and more importantly on Point Dume. The home is not listed in the MLS and there is no way you’d hear about it unless you knew the right people or read this blog.

Today had a special treat in store for anyone who ventured out after that rain passed. A double rainbow hit the civic center area around 3:30 pm and produced one of the strongest and brightest rainbows I’ve seen in Malibu. I was able to stop in to our real estate office and grab the company’s little digital and grab these shots. As a thank you to all the subscribers and followers of this blog I’m offering either of the two pics below as screen savers. The images will be emailed at 72 dpi and ready to be used on your computer.  The first images has had the houses photoshopped out. I’d like to think that this is the view the Chumash would have enjoyed. When referring to an image the top can be called “creek shot” and the second “pier shot”. Enjoy the season and the blessings of living in one of the greatest areas in the world. Just drop me an email and don’t forget to subscribe to the blog!

This blog focuses on something that only a very small percentage of the world could ever relate to….high-end real estate. I talk about $20,000,000 listings, and million dollar price reductions like it’s a totally normal thing for anyone to understand those numbers. I’m quickly humbled when I read about today’s deal at Groupon.com.

Todays “deal” really moved me. It was an offer to purchase an investment in someone else’s life. Someone who needs money because they have the ambition to change their situation by starting a business. Introducing KIVA..the micro finance company. They make loans to people around the world who aren’t just asking for a hand out. These are people with drive and an entrepenurial spirit.  Please take a moment to read more about this organization and pony up a few bucks.
