Long Beach – March 2024

Hello March!

Last month’s Valentine’s Day quiz question made for some ‘sweet’ conversations. Marty Kent was our winner of the $25 gift certificate to Clark and Atherton Mercantile. The answer to the question "What comes at the end of Valentine's Day?" was "Y". "Pick The Winner" video is at the very bottom of this newsletter. Thanks Karen Dotson for being our Picker!

March's quiz question is “What do you get when you divide the circumference of a pumpkin by its diameter? Winner gets a $25 gift card to the Pie Bar. Watch the video on the Pie Bar below for helpful hint.  Email answer here.

Housing theme of the month: Termites. 
Watch my shortly little ditty of a video on “House Eating Fungus” and my more informational video titled “Protect Your Home from Termites.” below.

If you are on my VIP list, be on the lookout for our letter offering a free Termite Inspection by Brothers Termite. Not on my list and want to be.  Call me at 562-243-2171. 

Did you know that the Los Altos area once had an HOA? Another short video below on this subject was posted on Nextdoor. It brought up lots of comments from folks who remembered that HOA. 

We have just two months to the May 4 Shred Event at CSULB. I am excited to be partnering with Soroptimist Club of Long Beach for this event. Your generous donations will help women and girls in our local community.

And lastly, keep me in mind for all your real estates needs and questions and vendor referrals.

Have a Happy Pi Day, St. Patrick's Day and Easter!

Warmest Regards, Michele K

House Eating Fungus!

Protect your home from termites with these few simple suggestions. 

But first, here is a short lesson on Termite Reports.  Do you know that just about everyone uses the phrase "Termite Report" but the official title is "Wood Destroying Pests and Organisms Inspection Report". 

This is because Termite Companies don't just look for termites, they look for anything that can destroy wood. Watch and learn here.

In this video we explain what is a Supplemental Tax bill and how much you can expect the tax bill to be.   

Remember California is different from every other State when it comes to how the assessor determines the amount of property tax each property owner will pay. In all other states the Assessed Value and Property Tax amount has nothing to do with the purchase price.   

In order to understand the Supplemental Tax bill you have to understand Prop 13. Watch and learn here!
