“Paul has become a member of the family. Over the years he has provided the most knowledgeable and professional advice on any situation that arise and I trust his word and judgment over all matters related to the business. His dedication and commitment to his work goes above and beyond expectations. Not only he is a very professional and efficient man, he has been a great leader on the market and I have no doubts he will for the years to come. He has gone above and beyond to help my family and we greatly appreciate his efforts.”
“Paul helped me find, buy, and remodel my condo almost 10 years ago, and he made the entire process so effortless (and actually enjoyable) that I have recommended his services to my friends and family ever since. Earlier this year I had to move to New York for work, and I was faced with the task of finding a suitable renter for my place in less than two months. I had my hands full with the move and I needed a property manager ASAP, so the first thought that came to mind was calling Paul. I’m glad I did, because he was able to get my place up to code and rented for top dollar before the two-month deadline with little to no effort on my behalf. It’s been 6 months since I moved and I’m still adjusting to the new job and environment, but It’s nice to know that I am at the other side of the country and I don’t have to worry about my property in San Diego AT ALL because Paul is on top of it. Needless to say, I would recommend Paul for all of your real estate needs because frankly there’s nobody better!”
Christian L. S“I cannot be more thankful with Paul, he got the house we were looking for so long, after many failures with other realtors, I don’t have enough words to express our gratitude. What we specially loved, the sincerity and involvement in the process. He is a great professional, and a wonderful person too.”
Julieta G.“Purchasing a home with the help of Paul was a smooth tranquil transaction. Paul was extremely patient, he thrived ensuring we purchased the RIGHT home for our family. Our complete satisfaction was Paul’s main concern, he didn’t stop working until we found the perfect home for us. Definitely recommend Paul, for his honesty, transparency throughout every step, and accessibility. Thank you Paul!”

When Pantone introduced the 2022 Color of the Year, they noted how the periwinkle Veri Peri “blended the faithfulness and constancy of blue with the energy and excitement of red.” In what seems like a worthy evolution, Pantone has stripped out the blue, embracing the vibrancy of red this year. Introducing the 2023 Color of the Year, Pantone 18-1750 Viva Magenta.
A “nuanced” crimson red with a balance between warm and cool, Viva Magenta is “brave and fearless, a pulsating color whose exuberance
promotes optimism and joy,” says Pantone. They describe the color as empowering, animated, electrifying, boundaryless, audacious, witty, and perfect for “anyone and everyone with the same rebellious spirit.”
However, unlike power reds that paint a space in fiery boldness, Viva Magenta brings a softer touch. “Assertive but not aggressive, it is a carmine red that does not boldly dominate but instead takes a ‘fist in a velvet glove’ approach,” says Pantone Color Institute executive director Leatrice Eiseman.
The “transformative” hue also has the ability to drive design toward “a more positive future,” with application in both the physical and virtual world. “As virtual worlds become a more prominent part of our daily lives, we look to draw inspiration from nature and what is real,” says Eiseman. To that end, Viva Magenta was inspired by the cochineal, a natural red dye derived from insects and one which Pantone says is “one of the strongest and brightest (pigments)” in the world. “Rooted in the primordial, Pantone 18-1750 Viva Magenta reconnects us to original matter,” she says. “Invoking the forces of nature, it galvanizes our spirit, helping us to build our inner strength.”
is, perhaps, to be expected. So, too, will be its emergence in home design.
As Architectural Digest notes, “Residential and commercial interiors (are) a natural next step,” and “kitchens (and kitchen appliances), which have long harbored a respect for red, can be imbued with ‘a touch of newness’ via Viva Magenta.”
Pantone invites us to “harness the full power of the Color of the Year as a velvet couch or lacquered wall. Or, use it in smaller doses, as a pop of color in lighting, textiles, art, or tabletop accents. “Viva Magenta packs a lot of drama in a small dose,” they say.
Pantone will showcase Viva Magenta through several partnerships: Motorola is releasing a special edition of its Edge 30 Fusion phone in the 2023 Color of the Year; Motorola parent company Lenovo will feature the color in its PC and tablet category; Spoonflower will introduce one-of-a-kind designs by six independent artists featuring a custom color palette, including Viva Magenta; and The Hydrow Wave Rower will break out of the traditional blackand-steel aesthetic of home fitness machines with new colorways including a special-edition version in Viva Magenta, “allowing for selfexpression and celebration in even the most unexpected of places.”
With Barbiecore pink dominating fashion and other bold expressions of color breaking through the neutral stranglehold of the last few years, the transition to a more intensely saturated hue

With a mixture of the Argentinean, Andean and Bolivian cultures, cuisine influence and traditions, Salta offers the perks of a large city while keeping the pace and comfort of a small town. Mountains and rivers, impressive museums, candlelit cafes, and vibrant peñas (folk-music clubs)... Salta has something for everyone. Subtle sophistication? Check. Unique gastronomy? Check. Plaza-side romance? Check. The most touristed spot in northwest Argentina is calling your name! Commonly known as Salta la Linda, the translation of the name says it all… “Salta the Pretty.” With a mixture of the Argentinean, Andean and Bolivian cultures, cuisine influence and traditions, Salta offers the perks of a large city while keeping the pace and comfort of a small town. Mountains and rivers, impressive museums, candlelit cafes, and vibrant peñas (folk-music clubs)... Salta has something for everyone.
In addition to the delicious foods, nature, and personality that the region is known for, Salta is also famous for their excellent quality wines, thanks to the Torrontés grape which is only found in Argentina. Torrontés has flavors of orange peel, peaches, honey, oregano, chamomile and muscat grape. The balance between acidity and fruit flavors make it appear as a sweet wine but turns out to be a magnificent dry wine. Pair your wine with delicious meals, spend a few days touring the sights of Salta, then rent a car to hit the road and explore the northwest.
