Hanging out with Elvis #1, Elvis #3, and Elvis #2

My team of REALTORS © and I appreciate the friendships we have made in 92127, and we want to nurture them and continue helping new people to buy and sell their homes. However, I am passionate about America, freedom of the press, current events, live music, sports, travel, and adventure. This led me to look into moving to downtown San Diego. It looked like fun, and I know the very best places to live around there, but after evaluating the drive time to 92127, I realized that it would be a challenge to continue to provide a high level of service to our customers.

I then looked around San Diego County. I am not an east county guy. It’s just too hot. I am not a La Jolla guy either; too many rich people. Many friends from the San Diego Police Department and our local community have loaded up their families and are moving east.

Some of them were seen giving California and our politicians the one-finger salute as they left. I guess they had enough. A few settled in Arizona, while others moved to Tennessee, North Carolina, Florida, and Texas. I also briefly looked at leaving San Diego and decided none of those locations were for me. I love my work and the city where I raised my children.

I thought moving to the beach was, in a way, selfish, but then I explained to my sons that they could think of me like NASA based at Cape Canaveral, Florida. Their amazing spaceship has lifted off and cleared the tower. It is time for them to seek their own adventures and become the men I know they can be.

Even as I get older and move slower, I will still love each of them to the moon and back, and I will even go with any of them to Disneyland or anywhere else. I may even jump in the air like an idiot because I am the luckiest man to hang out with each of them.

If you’re like me, and you’re planning on a big move in the near future, Randy Koch, Troy Shay, Tu Nguyen, Theresa Whitty, Tina Wu, and I wish you the very best! We would be happy to help you sell your home for top dollar so don’t hesitate to call. Or if you’re in the market to buy, we would love to tell you how we continue to find amazing homes for our clients in this tight housing market.

At a recent company meeting, I explained to my team of REALTORS© that I ultimately decided to move to Solana Beach, specifically within walking distance of the Belly Up Tavern. I don’t have a drinking problem, but I enjoy live music, and the beaches from Del Mar to Leucadia are much more my style. They are just more “chill” than other areas of San Diego.

The other advantage of coastal living is easy access to mass transit, specifically the coaster train and Interstate 5. With one of my sons in Carmel Valley, a second in Los Angeles, and a third in London, I wanted to make it easy to visit all three of them. After all, they are the most important people in my life. It also makes it an easy commute to our Community Hub© in 4S Village.

I concluded that I would always have a residence in San Diego County. A few months ago, I rented my Del Sur home and moved to a small place in Solana Beach. I have a Murphy bed in my living room in case Troy, Raymond, or Ryan want to visit.
