This article was written in 2013, but it encompasses the broad range of properties and locations Charlemagne International Properties covers as we go about our daily real estate lives.
Norma Toering & Team specializes in luxury homes, vacation homes, and income property. Yesterday was a banner day for our business specialties. We had a strong showing on our luxury home listing in Hermosa Beach, our offer on an eight-unit apartment building was accepted (after 30 long days of negotiations, rejection and finally resurrection–I’m tenacious), and we wrote an offer for a second home in a private beach community. I won’t mention the sleep I did not get, as I spent my evening into the night hours negotiating the beach house offer as well as an offer received on vacant land. Ahh yes, it does remind me of the pre-recession housing market, and it’s good to have it back.
My real estate niche specialties evolved over time. Gradually, more of my clients from years past moved up to larger homes and I became knowledgeable about the luxury home market in Palos Verdes and the beach cities of Manhattan, Hermosa and Redondo. A few years later many of the same clients decided they wanted a weekend or summer place either in the desert, the mountains or most popular, the beach. Their expanding real estate collection often included the addition of income-producing properties to their investment portfolio.
My clients are often the catalyst for my expanding real estate horizons and expertise. My knowledge about rent control, cap rate, internal rate of return and so much more was client driven to help them make savvy income property investments. I attended a three-day luxury home seminar to be up to date on marketing luxury homes internationally. When a client wanted to purchase a desert property I spent a weekend attending open houses in 110-degree weather–call me crazy, but after studying the comparable sales and listings online, viewing photos and locating them on Google Maps, I still wanted to see the homes with my eyes.
I owe my clients a big thank you for helping me expand my real estate knowledge and business. I’m not sure where this business will take me next, but I’m an adventurer, so I’m eagerly anticipating the next new avenue I’ll venture down in real estate land.
Since writing this article, I’ve sold luxury property in Pasadena, CA, Palos Verdes Estates and Rancho Palos Verdes. I’ve sold fixer properties, beach homes, income properties, oceanfront condos, and the list goes on. I have no idea where the day will take me as I continue the adventures of real estate and life.

If you look at the current scenario with regards to the grants for small business expansion, the federal government actually offers no direct grants. There are however, some programs by the government, through which grants for research and development activities that a small business might carry out are provided by the SBA. Then there are indirect grants in the form of small business loan guarantees as well as subsidized loans, wherein you get loans at reduced rate of interest from the bank as the government pays some part of your loan. Or if you default on your loan payment, the government pays the bank on your behalf. As you can see, there are opportunities galore for small business funding and grants through Mr Pedro and his funding company. They offer a loan at 2% rate which is very affordable. As a start-up business owner you just have to make an effort to find the one that is most suitable for your business goals.
