Delicious meals included - See 904 Rossmoor Towers



I just listed a 2-bedroom condo in excellent condition on the 9th floor of Rossmoor Tower 1.

There are really beautiful views from the three balconies.






Some people don't lnow that residents can enjoy a really delicious meal every night, and the cost is included in the monthly HOA.

See the menu of Soups, Served Salads, Featured Entrées, Sides, Everyday Favorites, Pantry Classics and Desserts.

Also included are all utilities, (including cable TV) and light housekeeping.

Manor #904 has been freshly painted, and it has Plantation Shutters, Crown molding, marble entry, custom built-in closets and shelves, canned lighting. You won't find popcorn ceilings in this condo!

The kitchenette has nice storage, counter-space, and comes with a fridge and microwave.

G'bye Century 21 - Hello First Team.

I've got exciting news.

Yesterday I joined First Team Real Estate, Inc.!!
First Team and I have created a unique partnership wherein all resources, marketing, advertising, and administrative support are at my disposal.
I'm already using the internet a LOT for marketing homes and finding buyers, and this isn't going to change, but one of the things I'm particularly looking forward to, is increased advertising in the NEWSPAPERS.

Sure, newspaper circulations have dropped a LOT the past few years, but over a MILLION people still get the paper. I thought - why not put my seller's homes in front of these people more than I've done in the past?

Our print advertising is now going to be in EVERY major newspaper in Orange County and Southern California with full page color ads. A few of the papers First Team advertises in on a WEEKLY basis are Orange County Register, L.A. Times, Laguna Woods Globe and Irvine World News.
