Broadbeach Malibu Home For Sale

Malibu Real Estate — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 03:45:30 +0000

Huge price reduction on this Broad Beach home for sale. Now $6,999,000.
A rare opportunity to own an original Malibu treasure — a mid-century beach bungalow is currently being offered for sale on exclusive Broadbeach Road.

The home, built in 1955, sits on approximately 40 feet of prime beach frontage and has the added advantage of being located on a very deep, sandy lot. There are two bedrooms upstairs and a bonus room downstairs. This charming beach cottage is the kind of place to use and enjoy while you wait unit you’ve figured out what you’re going to build next. I’ve visited the home several times and one of its most special features is that everything on the inside is original. The place appears to be stuck in time with its timeless furnishings and art from the early 60′s. The period-correct kitchen includes an indoor barbecue grill on the side of the living room fireplace. Imagine grilling a steak over smoldering charcoal in your kitchen….a Dean Martin-style martini in one hand, tongs in the other. There are some of those sad clown oil paintings that many of our grandparents had hanging on the wall, and there’s the big sliding glass door, the one your parents always told you not to slam with the mesmerizing locking mechanism. Outside is a modest garden comprised of various succulents accented with a few agaves next to a well tended bed of ice plant. There’s also a perfectly aged wooden beach path leading to the ocean only steps from the home. You can tell that a lot of memories were created here. The home abounds with charm and is one of the last remaining of Malibu’s classic beach bungalows, and for sale at $6.99m.

Malibu Beach House on Sea Level hits the Short Pay list

Malibu Real Estate — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 04:28:13 +0000

First off, Sea Level is a great beach. It is located just up from Broad Beach and has a cool, mini-community vibe to it. Residents leave kayaks and surfboards on the sand without any worry about someone stealing them. The 4th of July party there is huge and the beach is in better shape than Broad Beach right now. This could go out at a good price and is worth seeing if you are in the real estate market for a beach house in Malibu. Places like this also rent out for top dollar in the summer months. Listed at $5,950,000.

Malibu Summer Real Estate Lease Season Is Here!

Malibu Real Estate — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 17:01:41 +0000

March is the month when summer beach rentals and leases come on the Malibu Real Estate market. If you haven’t secured your beach rental by the middle of May you are likely to find yourself building sand castles in Mojave. I predict this year lease prices will be slightly lower than last years but the premium beaches like Broad Beach, The Colony, Carbon Beach, and Malibu Road, will still command high prices. Summer Rental prices on the low end will be around $10,000 and top at at $100,000 or more for the best beach houses. E-mail Me if you’d like a list of available rentals sent to you.

My Caravan Food Article In The Los Angeles Times!

Malibu Real Estate — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 15:30:12 +0000

I can’t take credit for writing the article but I did come up with the story and pitched it to Ann Brenoff who did a great job describing the caravan food scene around Los Angeles. I originally had the idea to rate caravan food and have it as a regular blog article. If an agent consistently served great food at the caravans then I wanted to make sure the blogosphere knew about it. If they only served M and M’s than maybe the public shame would encourage them to up the ante to something better and more expensive, like, Nilla Waffers, or even a few glazed donuts! Still a far cry from the agents who put out La Salsa buffets or build your own omelet bars with a personal chef.

I held off on writing the article and let Ann know about the idea. She loved it and I talked my way in to being the photographer for the article and even got a photo credit in the L.A. Times. The article made it in to several other papers including the Mercury News, and The Examiner.

Peter Villes blog at the Times also ran the article and can be seen here.

Hampty Hamps Home For Sale On Broad Beach at $36,000,000

Malibu Real Estate — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 15:34:00 +0000

“I know you’re sitting pretty in the Hampty Hamps, Posing like you’re rolling with that camp.”-Beastie Boys song Shazam.

If you too would like to sit pretty on the West Coast then stop posing and come have a look at this home on Broad Beach. Forget the real estate in the Hamptons where snow, not sand, is what you’ll see in the all winter. Move to Malibu, where sunny winters days can reach 80 degrees.

The authentic east coast style home was built in 1946 making it one of the first homes on Broad Beach. I must say that this home had some of the nicest construction details I had ever seen for a home of the this age. The home has numerous details that give it a feel of being on an enormous luxury yacht. There are large, round, wood-framed window that look like port holes. Some of these windows are even located on walls between two rooms. The main living room has large ceiling beams that are curved and give you the feeling of being inside an ark. In this room you will find a large fire place constructed out of hand gathered stones off the beach.

The actual price of the home is $22,000,000 and the basket ball court next door will run you the extra $14,000,000. You actually get more than a basket ball court, you get an additional APN so you’ll have one less neighbor, an investment property, or a place to build a spare beach house.

How To Attract Buyers….Offer a 7.5% commission on a $10,495,000 house!Update…Just Reduced to $9,995,000

Malibu Real Estate — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 01:30:33 +0000

Most agents go into a listing appointment hoping for a 6% commission but will often get the contract signed at 5%. In areas like Malibu and other expensive communities, it’s not unusual for the commission to be 4% on homes that are $6,000,000 or more. This beautiful home on Broad Beach not only offers an exclusive address right on the sand, but a whopping 7.5% total commission with the buyer’s agent receiving 5%! If the house closes at the asking price the agent who brings the buyer will walk away with close to $250,000 AFTER the split (based on a 50/50 split) with their brokerage! This is one motivated seller! Here is the MLS description- A CLASSIC MID-CENTURY “WALLACE NEFF” BEACH HOUSE, COMPLETELY AND TASTEFULLY UPDATED! CAPE COD HOME ON ONE OF MALIBU’S MOST EXCLUSIVE BEACHES. LIGHT, BRIGHT AND COMFORTABLE WITH PRIVATE BEACH SIDE PATIO. SHOWN BY APPT ONLY TO QUALIFIED BUYERS. This Broad Beach home is listed for $10,495,000 and has 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, with approx. 2340 sq.ft.

To any sellers out there wondering how to motivate agents to bring buyers….. raise the commission!
