March 2023 PUBLISHER

Brian Patchett | brian.patchett@citylifestyle.com CONTR IBUTING WR ITER

Heather Whitsitt

Home. So much contained in that little four-letter word. Home is our grounding, our base, our launchpad. It’s where we start and end each day.

And while the particulars look different for each of us, the meaning and value it holds for all of us is undeniable.

Author Wendy Wunder said, “The magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave, and it feels even better to come back.” As we thought about home - we wanted to share what we think makes it special. The list includes the city, community, neighbors, food and drink, schools, convenience, places to go, amenities, and the aesthetic and design. As individuals I am confident, we could all add to the list.

We feel like the lucky ones as we learn more about the local businesses and individuals that comprise the cities and what makes N. Orange County a great place to live and grow.

Our March issue includes feature articles on Real Estate, Home Insurance, Mortgage, Fitness Equipment in your home, and an entertainer who performs at weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, business events, or home parties. Check out the Business Monthly page, read about fencing, furniture, and home lighting.

As you flip through the pages of this issue, we hope you’ll feel encouraged to shop locally, connected to the people around you - in your city, neighborhood, and most all of - your home.

Every month, we hear from readers who keep this magazine for longer than just the month labeled on the cover. They say they hold onto it for months for future reference, as coffee table art or an accessory in their home. We feel proud to create a resource that is valued in our community and strive every month to deliver the value you expect. Thanks for letting us be a part of your home.

We hope City Lifestyle can be a small part to inspire you to appreciate the place you call home-both your personal dwelling and our shared communities.

Thank you for reading City Lifestyle and I hope to see you around town!

Happy March!

MORTGAGE SERVICES EXCEEDING YOUR EXPECTATIONS Ted & UAMC have an intense commitment to customer satisfaction.

ARTICLE BY HEATHER WHITSITT

LOCA L LIM E LIGH T | FINANCE + LE GAL S E RVI CE S

Buying a home is one of life’s most significant events—and for a good reason. So much analyzing, negotiating, calculating, and budgeting goes into purchasing a property.

When it comes to your loan specialist, a seasoned professional who delights in the details is a must—whether you’re buying, selling, refinancing, or planning on building your dream home.

“As I enter my 43rd year originating mortgage loans, it’s clear that experience matters,” says Ted Learakos, Loan Officer with Orange County’s United American Mortgage Corporation. “I remain dedicated to keeping up with these changes to provide the maximum quality of professional service to my clients. My dedication is based on the belief that

professionalism is only achieved by having the correct blend of product knowledge, people knowledge, experience, and an intense commitment to customer satisfaction.”

Since 1980, Ted has originated loans for thousands of customers across 14 states. Ted is also a Certified Military Housing Specialist, a status held by less than 3% of all mortgage professionals. Along with his UAMC team including long-time Yorba Linda resident and fellow loan officer Jessica McClure, team assistant Aleta Logan and loan processor Grace Huckeba, Ted strives for total client satisfaction. “Ensuring that you make the right choice for you and your family is my ultimate goal. I’m committed to providing my customers with mortgage services that exceed their expectations,” he says.

Ted’s team specializes in an array of loan types, including Conventional, FHA, VA, Reverse, Bridge, Private Party, No Tax Return, and Commercial Real Estate Loans.

They say that if you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life. At UAMC, Ted embodies this expression, evidenced by a long list of professional accolades, including being named a Five Star Mortgage Professional for 13 consecutive years.

Luckily, Ted has never had to look far for inspiration. Growing up, he admired the unwavering work ethic of his father, James Learakos—a value instilled into his own character. Later, mentors Joe and Shaun Huntsman introduced him to the loan industry—the perfect place to channel his passion for helping people. “They brought me into the business and showed me how to have fun and enjoy every day that you can help someone buy a home,” he recalls.

Looking ahead, Ted is keeping his eye on the prize—which means continuing to give his all to his clients. “My vision for 2023 is to have another fantastic year of helping folks get the very best loan for a new home.”

Successful Realtors Wear Many Hats There’s never a dull moment in the fast-paced world of real estate. From showing properties and staying on top of the latest trends in the industry to closing deals and signing on the dotted line, a successful Realtor must wear many hats.

The Edie Israel Team takes their slogan, “Driven to Deliver,” to heart. Comprised of Edie Israel, her husband, John Israel, and

business partner Jim Allen, this trio of trusted Realtors works tirelessly to help clients find their very own piece of paradise in Yorba Linda.

“Driven to Deliver still describes our attitude to serving our clients, “says Edie. “This partly came from the awareness that people who are driven to succeed and who have empathy for their clients are most likely to be successful.”

THE EDIE ISRAEL TEAMS' CLIENTS FEEL CONFIDENT AND WELL-INFORMED IN THEIR DECISION-MAKING.

M UST SE E | R EA L ESTATE

Since 2002, the team has skillfully guided clients across Orange County through each step of the buying and selling process. The Edie Israel Team also educates their clients throughout the process, which is essential to clients feeling confident and well-informed in their decision-making.

“I spent most of my corporate life in sales and marketing, leading that effort in a couple of healthcare companies,” recalls Edie. “I loved the sales process and was successful. Real estate life began at Century 21 and then moved to Prudential and Coldwell Banker, all with award-winning results.

Now we are enjoying life at Keller Williams Realty in Yorba Linda in our own office! This 20-year journey has been rewarding personally and professionally.”

In the early days of her real estate journey, Edie’s deals came from working a booth at Costco, where she spent her Saturday mornings presenting real estate opportunities to everyone who came through the door.

From there, her successes multiplied and grew rapidly.

For the first couple of years, Edie was almost entirely on her own, with some help from Jim Allen who was a mortgage lender at the time.

“I met Edie when she was first licensed in real estate and helped her get acclimated by providing support with mortgage loans for her clients,” says Jim. “My varied real estate experience has been beneficial in an ever-changing market.”

Eventually, Edie, Jim, and John decided to create a team, with specific responsibilities for each member.

“I got my real estate license to help Edie wherever I could,” says John. “With a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Long Beach State University and a Master of Divinity Degree from Talbot Seminary (Biola University), as well as time in the U.S. Navy, I was well-rounded enough for just about anything,” says John.

Jim Allen also brings many years of real estate experience to the table. In his youth, he got an early peek into the industry through his mother, a real estate broker in the dynamic Florida real estate scene.

“During my college years, I continued my involvement in real estate by learning about the effective management and leasing of high-rise office buildings in Dallas and Fort Worth,” Jim recalls. “During that time in north Texas, I earned my Bachelor of Science degree and MBA from Texas Christian University. Transferring to Southern California gave me the opportunity to work with the Irvine Company in management and leasing,” he says.

“My background also includes residential lending. Over the past 20 years, I have formed a solid partnership with The Edie Israel Team, focusing on residential sales in southern California.”

The Edie Israel Team is equally committed to giving back to the community they are proud to call home.

Education is one area that The Edie Israel Team passionately supports.

Their philanthropic efforts include supporting local schools by providing laptops, supporting various boys’ and girls’ athletic teams, helping build a swing set at an elementary school, and supporting Spelling Bees.

They are also members of the Yorba Linda Chamber of Commerce and proud sponsors of the annual Taste of Yorba Linda. Edie is a member of the Women’s Club and serves as Scholarship Chairperson, a title she holds in high esteem.

“Helping to provide scholarships to deserving high school students is a major blessing. It truly is better to give than to receive,” she says.

The City of Yorba Linda also selected Edie as the “Citizen of the Year for 2022.”

The Edie Israel Team Mission Statement: “Driven to deliver” guides our direction in real estate. The Edie Israel Team strives to focus on attention to detail, timely communication, and calming and supportive service, all with skillful outcomes delivered ethically with the goal of going above and beyond the client’s expectations.”

The human aspect of real estate is clearly just as important to Edie, John, and Jim as the financial and legal aspects of a transaction.

According to Edie, “Success brings opportunity, and that entails increased involvement in the community that has served us well in real estate.”

"All of us at The Edie Israel Team love what we do and are always driven to deliver."

The Edie Israel Team

“In real estate, there are many different stories, needs, and concerns related to our business. Some come from heartache, like the selling of a home after losing a loved one or making the decision to relocate a parent to a retirement establishment,” says John.

“We work a lot with senior citizens who really appreciate our efforts. We work closely with clients to make that move as easy and stress-free as possible. After all, what do you do with all the stuff you have accumulated over the last 50 years? It can be overwhelming to think

20

about, let alone deal with going forward. We have been called in many times to deal with those kinds of situations. It can be an enormous relief to have a solution,” he says.

When it comes to family members making the tough choice about what to do with the home of a loved one who has passed, The Edie Israel Team has some comforting words of advice.

“Just remember you always have the memories; they are packed up in your mind,” says John, who encourages

Edie Israel, 2022 Citizen of the Year

people in this position to come in for a hassle-free consultation to explore all options.

“If selling is the best option, then we discuss some improvements that will get you a higher price and a quicker sale. Over the years, we have acquired service people of the highest integrity and professionalism. We can get bids and evaluate which vendors may be the best for our clients. “We appreciate the opportunity to advise families and individuals regarding their real estate objectives for the future.”

The Edie Israel Team does it all—from handling everyday buying and selling situations to assisting clients with out-of-state moves, downsizing, or upsizing—they’ve got the experience it takes to provide you with the best results possible.

“We are good at evaluating real estate agents out of the area that we can recommend to you,” says John. “We will refer agents who share our marketing and selling approaches, and who will help our clients accomplish goals in their new destination.”

“We love what we do and believe we are good at it!”

As far as predictions for what’s next in real estate, Edie is pretty positive about the forecast “Interest rates play a big part in the equation and the general consensus is that the rates will stay close to the 6% we are currently experiencing, [with a potential decrease] in the second half of the year,” she says.

“Prices are holding up due to a lack of supply in the marketplace, but most economists are forecasting a single-digit adjustment during the year. There are buyers out there, and the houses that sell the fastest are priced correctly, have nice upgrades, and are ready to move in. Many people will sell and many people will buy in 2023,” says Edie.

Wherever the new year finds you on your home buying and selling journey, let The Edie Israel Team show you firsthand how they earned such a stellar reputation. We help you work through the planning process to achieve your goals. https:// www.ediesellshomes.com/

Protection for YOUR BIGGEST ASSET

JCA INSURANCE SERVICES WILL MEET AND EXCEED YOUR INSURANCE NEEDS

“Home” means so much more than just a place to rest your head.

“Your home is the center of your life, one of your biggest assets, and your biggest investment. It contains all your belongings, memories, and comforts. That’s why it’s important to do everything you can to protect it,” says John Crawley, President of JCA Insurance Services in Anaheim Hills.

When you seek the assistance of real people who truly know and care about what they do, look no further than JCA to meet—and exceed—all your insurance coverage needs.

For more than 40 years, John has remained dedicated to serving families and small businesses across Southern California.

“It’s our mission and our passion to treat our clients like family, and family is at the core of our business. This business is literally built on it!” says John.

His passion for the family is plain to see—in fact, even the business’s name reflects that commitment—”J” stands for John, “C” for his son Chris, and “A” for daughter Arianna.

O PE N H OU SE | FIN AN CE + LE GAL S E RVI CE S

According to John, there’s no time like the present when it comes to assessing your current home insurance situation.

“We’ll work with you to determine the risks your home faces and customize your coverage to fit your specific needs.

Whether you live in a home that is 500 square feet or 5,500 square feet, it’s the place you call home. Your home deserves to be covered with insurance that is more than the bare minimum!”

Another piece of the insurance puzzle is understanding that life can be very unpredictable. Even with the best protection in place, the unexpected can—and does—still happen every day.

The seven largest wildfires in California’s history have occurred since 2017, resulting in several changes in the local insurance agency. From companies increasing homeowner premiums to leaving the area completely and implementing wildfire prevention services, you’ll benefit from staying on top of all the latest industry news as a valued JCA customer.

“The threat of theft, damage, and natural disasters occurring is something we can never fully eliminate, impacting our lives and destroying our homes in more ways than one,” says John. “Make sure you cover the unique risks you face with dependable home insurance.”

John acknowledges the fact that finding coverage to best suit your individual needs is an undertaking that can quickly become overwhelming. That’s where JCA comes into play to lighten your mental load and help the process flow smoothly.

“With homeowners insurance getting harder to navigate in California since the wildfires began, JCA assists our clients in getting the right policy that will take care of both small and large risks related to owning a home,” he says.

“We make things simpler by creating an insurance policy that gets you the proper coverage for your house at the right price.”

In addition to providing homeowners insurance to their clients, JCA also offers Landlord and Property Insurance to cover everything from your boats and motorcycles to RVs, jet skis, and more—you name it, JCA’s got you covered.

In each of their client relationships, JCA stands a cut above the competition by taking a customized approach to finding the most appropriate coverage solutions.

“We are an independent insurance agency, and our goal is to help you find the right coverage to ensure your family is protected. You will quickly notice that we are here to help you with anything you need,” says John. “We monitor the marketplace to ensure we are offering you the right protection and pricing, and we’re available to help you by answering all your questions.” https://jcainsure.com/

ONE MAN BAND

James Alexander Today, James is the sole talent behind The One Man Band Show Additionally, he plays in several tribute bands, including Desperado: A premiere Tribute to The Eagles, Shine On: The Pink Floyd Experience, and Best Shot: A Pat Benatar Tribute Band.

James plays at family gatherings,

weddings, birthday parties, company celebrations, and more.

James Alexander’s love of music traces back to his childhood. Growing up in Texas, James started playing guitar at 6 years old. By the time he was 12, he’d added the piano, drums, and saxophone to his repertoire.

As a teen, James started playing in local bands and eventually moved to California at 19. There, he played in a band called Talon that earned airtime on the local radio station. With Talon, James opened for Steve Lukather, Iron Butterfly, and many other major artists.

SO HOW DID JAMES COME UP WITH THE ONE MAN BAND SHOW CONCEPT? “I began my One Man Band show by learning how to record digitally using MIDI and live instruments on a computer,” he says. “I was recording cover tunes and learning how to mix and master the songs when I was asked to play at Lake Alice in Riverside, California over 13 years ago. It was just me, my acoustic, and my piano. The show’s energy level was lacking, so I asked the manager if I could bring in tracks to make it sound like I was playing with a band. She agreed, and the rest is history.”

Soon, James’s show was a hit. “People would tell me that they thought the jukebox was on until they saw me playing live,” he recalls.

“I have built an acoustic show, an electric guitar show, and a piano show that can accommodate any event and delivers a live band atmosphere.” says James

I NSP IR E D BY | EN TERTA I NME NT

“I have since built an acoustic show, an electric guitar show, and a piano show that can accommodate any event and delivers a live band atmosphere.”

The One Man Band Show consists of a variety of musical genres, including new and classic country, 80s tunes, and pop music. There’s something for everyone in the audience to enjoy. “You could hear Jason Aldean, Luke Combs, Eagles, Van Halen, Bruno Mars, Train, and Elton John all in the same set list,” says James.

“My passion is music and performing. I go into every show with the hopes that everyone enjoys the music and has a great time.”

You can find James’s One Man Band Show playing at local breweries, bars, city functions, wineries, and private parties in Southern California. He’s also performed at venues in Arizona, Nevada, Northern California, and Texas.

Book The One Man Band Show for your next special event— weddings, birthday parties, company celebrations, or family gatherings—he does it all!

5 Hot Trends

in Kitchen Design A peek at what’s ahead: bold cabinet colors, statement hardware and swaths of stone.

ARTICLE BY HALEY WILLIAMS PHOTOGRAPHY BY J.A. STENGER PHOTOGRAPHY

When designing your dream kitchen, it’s important to balance timeless features with elements that reflect your personality and design aesthetic. You may not plan to remodel your kitchen each year (does anyone do that?), but that doesn’t mean there aren’t creative ways to keep your space feeling modern and fresh.

We spoke with interior designer Brooke Cover about the trends in kitchen design she’s seeing this year, touching on everything from cabinet colors and lighting to tile and countertop combos she’s loving.

TA K I N G T H E C O U N T E R M AT E R I A L U P THE BACKSPLASH Although the iconic subway tile backsplash is timeless in its own right, Brooke says she is seeing a big shift toward marble slab backsplashes — which add drama and depth to the kitchen. Not only is it easier to clean than tile, but a marble backsplash and countertop also sets the tone for the entire space and makes a big statement.

40

H OM E U P DAT E | HOM E + DE S I GN

WA R M I N G U P THE WHITE We doubt the classic white kitchen will ever completely go out of style, but trends show people are going away from the white kitchen and gray cabinets. They’re opting for white mixed with warmer wood tones, dark greens and blues. Some homeowners are mixing vintage in with the new and modern through butcher block islands or other unique cabinetry choices. Black is making a bold comeback in some kitchens, while others usher in warmth through painted islands or other darker contrast tiles in the bar area. You don’t have to leave behind the timelessness when you warm up your space if you opt for equally timeless black and wood-stained accents. If you want a quick refresh, consider adding pops of wood through cutting boards or other decor accents on countertops or open shelves.

HIDDEN STORAGE, VISIBLE APPLIANCES Gone are the days of it being a given to hide the fridge behind custom cabinets. Many brands of appliances are so beautiful and sleek these days, homeowners want to see them rather than hide them behind a cabinet facade. Small appliances, however, are another story. Custom cabinets and “appliance garages” aren’t going away anytime soon. Form and function make them a desirable addition to any kitchen.

BOLD H A R D WA R E Mixed metals and sizes are having a moment in kitchens across America.

Brooke says not to shy away from a variety of sizes of pulls and handles, depending on the drawer and door size. For instance, you may see a mixture of longer pulls on larger drawers and square knobs on smaller glassware cabinets - and that’s more than just ok - that’s recommended. As the heart of the home, kitchens shouldn’t feel sterile and hyper-coordinated - they should feel inviting and tailored to the space. Since no two kitchens will be exactly alike, feel free to boldly mix the hardware sizes and styles to the needs of your kitchen.

C O N T R A S T, C O N T R A S T, CONTRAST!

Brooke’s Pro Tip: I suggest viewing countertop slabs in person vs. a small sample piece because each slab has unique movement and colors. They are all so beautiful and works of art. Taking a trip to the warehouse will really help a client to understand the different types available and see the difference in the look of the material.

H OM E U P DAT E | HOM E + DE S I GN

From painted and stained islands to dark lower cabinetry with bright white uppers and mixed lighting fixtures, contrast is the name of the game this year. You’ll see this juxtaposition between clean white and darker colors or even this year’s favorite - greens and blues - all over newly designed kitchens. You’re not breaking any rules by coordinating sculptural pendants over the kitchen island with more vintage-inspired gooseneck sconces over the standalone bar or a chandelier over the eat-in kitchen.
