Multi Million Dollar Homes

During the last few days I had the opportunity to preview homes, in the San Diego area, that were from $7,000,000-10,000,000. What a treat! These homes were approximately 10,000sq. ft on huge lots with ocean views. These homes were previewed for a client of my daughter, who is a Realtor in that area.

The best part was the weather--30 degrees cooler than Palm Desert. I can't complain. I have lived in the Desert for 12 years and really don't mind the summer heat. We just do more in the mornings--golf, tennis, walking, shopping. We go from an air conditioned home, to an air conditioned car, to an air conditioned shop, etc.

Where is Elaine Leib

Saturday morning I was at the Camelot Theater, in Palm Springs, to see a film sponsored by the Desert Film Society.
The movie was "Pressure Cooker" which is about three seniors at Philadelphia's Frankford High School who find an unlikely champion in the kitchen of Wilma Stepheson. A legend in the school system, Mrs. Stephenson's hilariously blunt boot-camp method of teaching Culinary Arts is validated by years of scholarship success. The students compete with other schools for major scholarship money. Against a backdrop of the row homes of working class Philadelphia, she has helped countless students reach the top culinary schools in the country
This true story has won many Film Festival awards.
I, and others in the theater highly recommend this film when it comes to a theater near you.
Later in the day I an open house at 37616 Pine Knoll in Sun City Palm Desert. where I had several people arriving to see the home, even though it was 112 outside. This home is beautiful and well priced .
The rest of the day was spent emailing listings to out of towners buyers paying bills and contactng past clients.

New Blog

Hi there,

I am starting a new phase for my blog: Where is Elaine Leib?
For those of you who know me, know how much energy I have, so I thought I would let you and anyone interested, know what I do in the Desert and particularly what is happening in Sun City Palm Desert
I will also continue to bring you real estate news when it is important.

So Where is Elaine on Thursday, July 30?

I am at the fitness center at 7:30 AM to walk on the indoor track --17 times around equals 1 mile. ) Although I prefer to exercise outdoors, it is way too hot at this time of year. We are lucky, here at Sun City Palm Desert to have 3 clubhouses, 2 fitness centers, including the one with the track.
From 1-4 I play Maj Jongg with the Mah Jongg club. Then I deliver papers to Sellers on a new sale.
