“I worked with Amy when I bought my condo in 2011. It was my first purchase, and a short sale at that! It was a long and complicated process, but she was an absolute rock star the whole time. Answered every little question I had, and got me such a great deal on my condo. I am so grateful for Amy, and would highly recommend her for any and all of your real estate needs!” - Joanie B. “Amy O’Dorisio and her team nailed it again. She helped us sell our house in under a month (cash offer) for more than we asked. This was a bit of a tall order considering what we gave her to work with (short timeline, pets in the house, logistical challenges...). It didn’t matter. Her experience guided us to a quick and painless close of escrow. Amy is always available, always professional, super knowledgeable, not to mention a wonderful person. This is the third time we’ve worked with Amy over the years. It almost seems like each time gets better, though I don’t know how... She was perfect in each transaction. I strongly urge anyone looking to buy or sell in the San Diego area to contact Amy O (amyosandiego.com). She is the real deal.” - Mike M. “When my wife Ginger and I decided to look into buying our first home, I called a trusted old friend, and volleyball partner named Chris Magill (owner of Aztec Property Inspections) who is one of San Diego’s top home inspectors. I asked Chris for a recommendation of a good Realtor, and he sent me to Amy. Having no idea what we were in for, we started the search for our first home. In the interest of time I will give you the condensed version of our experience …. For two months, with Amy’s guidance, and support, we searched tirelessly for what would eventually be our new home. Amy went to bat for us right away, trying to separate us from the group of 16 who put offers in on this short sale house in the three days it was on the market. Fast forward 7 more months. After countless roadblocks, pitfalls, the inevitable delays they caused, and the stress that accompanied them, we finally got the word that we would soon be able to make this house our home! Each time this deal almost fell through, Amy was there to save it. From the unique way she presented our offer in the beginning, to the letters she wrote to the banks on our behalf in the 11th hour, Amy always found a way to succeed where others, I am convinced, would have failed. Having someone who genuinely cares about our lives help us through this trying time was a blessing. Amy O’Dorisio is not only one of San Diego’s most respected Realtors, but through this process has become a truly valued friend.” - Jeff C. “Buying a house with Amy was such a pleasure. Helping us choose the right neighborhood, navigate the lending juggernaut, the title process, tax issues, and closing, she was always ready and available to take a phone call or email with our many questions. I liked her Docu-Sign software enabling us to do the paperwork over the Internet. Especially, though, we enjoyed knowing her, and having a cheerful and knowledgeable person with us during our search and closing. Many thanks.” - Ed C. “I dreaded the thought of finding a real estate agent & my fears were confirmed based on my initial conversations with many of them. However, when I met Amy there was no pretension. I felt that we communicated in a very open & affective manner which helped her know what I was looking for & ultimately it helped her work her magic to find my dream home.” - Brent S. “Amy is extremely professional, yet down to earth and very easy to communicate with. She has a vast knonwledge of the real estate market and readily shares any tidbit of information that may be useful to either buyers or sellers. She whole-heatedly loves what she does and it is apparent that she wants you to get the best home/price you deserve.” - Laurin W. “Amy was fun to work with as well as extremely professional. It was nice how she was totally understanding of our needs and timeline, but encouraging of us through the process. I never once felt pressured. Amy was always more than helpful if I didn’t understand something and explained clearly. 150% and 2 thumbs up!” - Sarah K.

IN YOUR GAZE: PROPERTIES THAT The view of the house is obviously important when it comes to finding the perfect property. But it’s the view from the house that often compels a purchase. It’s not surprising that high-end view properties are in high demand across the country — or that they sell for a premium. For many, an upscale view home is aspirational, largely because the view from said home is so inspirational. Whether it’s perched above an endless sea or with mountains unfolding before it, holding court over a prairie or ensconced in an affluence of trees, having something pretty to gaze at can take a property from want to need. If a great view is a necessity for you, you’re going to love this roundup of prime view properties in some of the country’s most spectacular spots. 3787 Diamond Head Road, Honolulu, HI
4 Bedrooms, 4 Baths and 1 partial, 6,231 ESF
Waterfront properties in Diamond Head are rare; Only about 60 such homes exist on the shores of the Pacific in the shadow of this iconic Hawaiian landmark. Even rarer still is a Diamond Head property with so much incredible land. Set on more than three-quarters of an acre, fringed by soaring palm trees, this Ohau property is the largest beachfront parcel offered for sale on Diamond Head Beach in more than two decades. Or, stand inside the large living room and take in the full view of the beach before heading out to the adjacent outdoor entertainment area. The water vistas are also stunning from the owner’s suite, dining room, and gourmet kitchen, which leads out to an oceansidecovered lanai.

Why a Move Could Bring You
More Happiness This Year
26
Source:https://www.mykcm.com/2022/02/01/why-a-move-could-bring
O
ver the past two years, we’ve lived through one of the most stressful periods in recent history. Because of the health crisis, many of us have spent more time at home and that’s led us to re-evaluate both what we need in a house and how much we appreciate having a safe space. If you’ve found your current home isn’t filling all your needs, you may be wondering if it’s time to find a new one. There’s reason to believe a change of scenery could boost your happiness. Catherine Hartley, an Assistant Professor at New York University’s Department of Psychology and co-author of a study on how new experiences impact happiness, says:
“Our results suggest that people feel happier when they have more variety in their daily routines— when they go to novel places and have a wider array of experiences.” A move could be exactly the new experience you’ve been looking for. If that’s something you’re considering to better your lifestyle, here are a few things to keep in mind.
Approach Your Decision Thoughtfully and Explore Your Options Buying and selling a home is a major life change, and it’s not a decision you should enter lightly. But, if you’re questioning whether or not a move would bring you more happiness, it’s important to explore if it’s the right choice for you. To find out more and discuss your options, reach out to a local real estate professional. They’ll explain the process – including how to list your existing house and search for a new one – in clear and simple terms.
Consider a Location with Weather That Will Boost Your Mood Home features aren’t the only thing to consider. You should also weigh your options when it comes to location. Is the weather something that’s important to you? Does it have a tendency to impact your mood? If it does, you may want to factor it into your next move. The World Population Review shares:
“What states have the best weather? When evaluating each state for temperature, rain, and sun, some states stand out. . . . Climate and weather preferences are personal and subjective...” Better weather can mean different things to different people. Some prefer the heat, others cooler temperatures, and some want to experience all four seasons. Think about what makes you feel happiest and prioritize that in your home search. If you’re moving to a whole new location, your agent is a great resource with a strong network to support you along the way.
Bottom Line Moving could provide you with a fresh beginning and the chance to find happiness in your new home. Let’s connect today to talk about your goals and options in the current market.
You should also think about your lifestyle and what you’re hoping to get out of your move. What needs aren’t being met in your current home? What features would bring you more joy and make your life easier? For example, are you now working remotely and need a home office? Do you crave more fresh air and open outdoor space to unwind in? Knowing the answers to these questions can help you get started and position your real estate advisor to work with you so you can find just the right home.
