Why let the pain and hassle of moving stop you from ditching your digs and moving to your dream house? NorthStar Moving has taken it upon themselves to offer you star-like treatment during your relocation.

I love the names of the services…the Paris, the Angelina, the Britney. Gosh, I’d consider moving just to get that kind of pampering!

…are there tax consequences?

Considering we are deep in tax season, and both short sales and foreclosures are on the rise, I thought I’d find some information to help you realize potential tax consequences.

Be advised, any of you in a possible short sale or foreclosure situation should consult with your CPA, tax adviser, attorney or other advisor.

…Los Angeles has the tastiest tap water?

So not only can we boast beautiful coast lines, spectacular homes, but also…some of the best drinking water around! What do you think are LA’s greatest attributes?

You never know what sells a house – whether it’s location, size, neighborhood, floor plan, the way the sun hits the center of the yard at 4:00pm…who knows???? Could St. Joseph have some influence on how fast your home is sold? Some would believe…yes.

Personally, I’d be tempted to try to put the little guy upside down, near the “For Sale” sign in the front yard – apparently he works harder to get the house sold in that position.

Here’s a short list compiled by the LA Times. One thing not included, but should be really fun for the family (if it doesn’t rain), is the Huntington Beach Kite Party.

Enjoy your weekend!
