Silicon Beach – A Place of Innovation: Past, Present and Future
Playa Vista has been the center of modern innovation in Los Angeles for quite some time.

Now it is ground zero for technology & internet companies in LA, as technology giants such as Facebook, Google and Yahoo are setting up offices there. Previously the hot spot was in Santa Monica, but it has moved south to Playa Vista where there is a less expensive, roomier office to be built, bought or leased.

Real Estate Crowdfunding: Is It a Viable Option?
It’s almost every week now that someone asks me about my thoughts on crowdfunding, and how it relates to commercial real estate and the revitalization of communities.

5 Questions You Must Ask When Interviewing for a Real Estate Agent Position
Real estate brokerages see their agents in one of two ways, either as a profit center or as a client who they can help to succeed. Many of the large brokerages and a few smaller companies perceive the associate agent as a money machine, with the attitude of “How can I get the most out of the agent?” This differs from those companies that instead seek to support the associate agent, showing an attitude of reciprocity.
