When individuals and the communities in which they live and work band together, something truly remarkable can happen. The Charitable Foundation, a nonprofit organization run by real estate agents from our company, is proof that when people care, they have the ability to make neighborhoods throughout Southern California stronger and more vibrant.
Since its inception on May 16, 1995, The Foundation has donated more than $5 million to organizations that promote health, education, community, and the environment.
As The Foundation celebrates its 20th anniversary year, this milestone is amplified by reaching the $5 million mark – a goal that seemed almost unimaginable to the board members and volunteers who worked so hard to improve the lives of people throughout Southern California.

The weather outside is probably not … you know what … so the holiday season in Southern California can be downright delightful. Without the snow and chill, visitors might think our region is short on holiday traditions.
But they should think again. Want chestnuts roasting on an open fire? Find them in the many neighborhoods where homeowners outdo each other by adorning their houses with spectacular light displays. With no slush to drive through and comfortable nighttime temperatures, families can marvel at the illuminated residences every evening now through New Year’s Day, and sometimes beyond. Many residents offer hot chocolate, cider, coffee, cookies, and other homemade treats at nominal prices in their driveways. Check hyperlocal online sites for lists of the best streets to cruise, including maps and directions.
As for regional traditions, we’ve rounded up some of the most enduring and unusual in each county, from south to north. Get out there and have a jolly old time!

Here are a few deals you might want to add to your Black Friday shopping list: Southern California homes for sale with serious price reductions. Many homeowners are motivated to sell at year-end for tax and estate purposes, so they’re willing to drop prices to get the ball rolling. That means this might be a good time to connect with a knowledgeable real estate agent who knows where to find properties whose prices are sliding faster than Santa down a greased chimney.
Want to check for yourself? Visit our Search Listings page, click the More dropdown, and then tick the “price reduced” checkbox. You’ll see an interactive map of recently price-reduced properties in the region, along with a preview list on the right. Of course, you can also filter the results by city/ZIP code, price, home type, newest listings, and other factors. You can even schedule a showing online.
