IS YOUR GLASS HALF FULL OR HALF EMPTY?

You have probably heard that phrase before. As you know it’s often associated with ā€˜Positive Thinking’ or lack of it. Is it possible to walk through this life with a positive attitude? Even when things are not going well? You probably know people who do. Would others say that YOU are one of those people? Ā #coreychambers

Make no mistake about it, there is deep concern on behalf of everyone at our real estate company for the pain, difficulty and struggle many experience as they walk through life. Our belief is that in order to be a positive force for others, Positive Thinking is required. Please allow me to share some of that ā€˜core value’ with you in this season’s issue of the SoCal Quarterly Newsletter. Ā #realestate #newsletter

In Dr. Norman Vincent Peale’s classic book, The Power of Positive Thinking, he teaches the cultivation of ā€˜peace of mind’, not as an escape from the realities of life, but as a ā€˜power center’ out of which comes driving energy for constructive personal and social living.

It seems every time I cut the news on or look at social media, there seems to be a barrage of negativity. I have to look hard to find the ā€˜good news’. But as I walk around and live my life in practical terms, I see a great deal of love and positive energy from and among people. I’m not sure of the disconnect, it could be just me and my perceptions. Nonetheless I am reminded of the importance of staying positive as it relates to just about anything. Even in the midst of great tragedy, there is a different way to think.

Positive thinking is really just faith in action. When things are not going well, it is easy to develop a negative attitude. But in my experience, the fastest way to lift myself up when feeling down is to go help someone else who is feeling down. That is really tough to do without positive thinking. We all know how comforting it is when life has dealt us a bad blow a friend or someone we love brings us their positive energy. How else can we be lifted up in times of tragedy or sorrow? Positive Thinking is contagious.

With the practical techniques you will find in Dr. Peale’s book, it is not just possible but very likely to energize one’s life. Another way to describe Positive Thinking is it gives you the initiative needed to attain your ambitions and hopes.

Take a look at people you would say have ‘determination’. Determined people are Positive Thinkers. So we can say that Negative Thinkers lack determination. I’m not sure it is possible to be determined to succeed and not entirely possess Positive Thinking. I’ve never seen successful people who are negative. They are the opposite, they attract – the very definition of Positive.

With positive thinking you will learn how to:

oĀ  Expect the best and get it.
oĀ  Believe in yourself and in everything you do.
oĀ  Develop the power to reach your goals.
oĀ  Break the worry habit and achieve a relaxed life.
oĀ  Improve your personal and professional relationships.
oĀ  Assume control over your circumstances.
oĀ  Be kind to yourself.

It teaches positive thinking not as a means to fame, riches or power, but as the practical application of faith to overcome defeat and accomplish worthwhile creative endeavors in life. It teaches a hard, disciplinary way of life, but one which offers great joy to the person who achieves victory over themselves and the difficult circumstances of the world.

Even the words we speak have a direct and definite affect upon our thoughts. The way we think creates the words we use, and words are the vehicles of ideas. But words also affect our thoughts and help to condition if not to create attitudes. In fact, what often passes for thinking starts with talk.

The man who assumes success tends to already have success.

My hope is that YOU will expect the best and get it.

William James, the famous psychologist said ā€œOur belief at the beginning of a doubtful undertaking is the one thing that insures the successful outcome of the ventureā€.

One thing that rises above most is our eagerness to get our children involved and hanging out with others who are good, noble, caring, ā€˜do the right things’ kind of kids. Most parents have an instinct to realize when their kids are hanging out with the wrong crowd. There is little they would not do to get their child of that environment. It is a universal truth that you will become who you hang out with. What amazes me are the adults that won’t apply this same rule to themselves. They engage in damaging behavior in WHO they watch, follow, and hang out with.

My belief is that we were put here to accomplish great things. We are capable of far more than we can imagine. Success starts between our ears: WHAT you think about and HOW you think about things. Oh and my glass? It’s not just half full, it’s running over!Corey

Be Positive!Ā  Live Positive!

P.S. If you or someone you know want more on the subject of positive thinking, consider picking up a copy of Dr. Peale’s classic “The Power of Positive Thinking” or “The Power of Positive Thinking for Young People”

YOUR FRIENDS ARE CRAZY WRONG IF THEY’RE TELLING YOU NOT TO BUY!

The current narrative is that home prices have risen so much that it’s no longer a smart idea to buy a home. Your family and friends might suggest that buying a home right now makes absolutely no sense from an affordability standpoint. They are wrong!

Homes are more affordable right now than at almost any time in our country’s history except for the foreclosure years (2009-2015) when homes sold at major discounts. As an example, below is a graph from the latest Black Knight Mortgage Monitor showing the percentage of median income needed to buy a medium-priced home today compared to before the housing bubble and bust. As you can see, the percentage is less now than in the previous time periods. The Mortgage Monitor also explains that home affordability is better today than it was in the late 1990s in 47 of 50 states.

Your friends and family have your best interests at heart, but, when it comes to buying your first home or selling your current house to buy the home of your dreams, let’s get together to discuss what your best move is, now.

If you’d like to live/work in a cool loft in an historic industrial building by Downtown Los Angeles, you now have a new opportunity. Located near The Brewery Lofts in Downtown Los Angeles, the provocative modern loft building will let you live bold, and take a step outside the norm. Discover dramatic open spaces that take loft living to new heights within a vibrant neighborhood alive with possibilities.

Do you have a vision that you will be a pioneer in the next great place? Are you ready to get there now?

The eclectic mix of shops, restaurants and cafes of historic Lincoln Heights brings a true community vibe to Alta Lofts. Adding to the neighborhood’s appeal is its close proximity to Los Angeles’ most popular destinations. Dodger stadium, Walt Disney Concert Hall, MOCA and Downtown’s financial center are all just minutes away. With convenient access to three major highways and a nearby Gold Line stop, Pasadena, Glendale and Los Feliz are also easily accessible.

The building has a colorful past, giving it added texture and nuance today. Constructed in 1925, the building served as the Fuller Paint Company Warehouse for decades. Now, that same address is an important example of how adaptive reuse can artfully blend old and new to offer the best in contemporary living and still preserve a proud industrial heritage.

Building highlights include original four-story structure capped with two stories of newly constructed penthouse lofts, as well as direct-access, gated parking structure for residents and guests. Floor to ceiling industrial windows, along with retrofitted with dual panes are accompanied by exposed beam and ductwork. The exterior features fully landscaped open air courtyard and paseo, a fifth floor deck, and original concrete pillars throughout building.

The structure is a study in contrasts. The exterior features both neo-classic and contemporary touches. Inside, the same dichotomy holds with structural elements from the 1920s co-existing with modern kitchens, bathrooms and state-of-the-art sectional overhead doors. It’s an ideal mix, resulting in one-of-a-kind living spaces that radiate with light, energy and creativity.

Details matter here, cabinets, fixtures – each has been carefully selected to work together to create a welcoming and inspiring living environment. The building also features amazing unobstructed views of Downtown, Elysian Park and surrounding communities. It is an historic building with original architectural elements and two new modern penthouse floors. The residents of lofts enjoy designated parking in gated and adjacent garage. The building is further diversified with ground floor retail.

The bottom level is made up of 2-story and 3-story lofts. The two top levels (5th and 6th stories) are composed of new metal construction in modernist style. The center of the building was cut out for the restoration to add light, air and openness to the building and loft units.

The loft interiors feature high ceilings throughout – 7’ 10ā€ to 11’ 6ā€ ceilings, with double height ceilings in select penthouse units –18’ to 21’6ā€. Selected units feature private balconies. Most units feature exposed original walls and ceilings, in addition to original windows re-glazed with dual panes. A cool eclectic master touch is the sectional overhead doors on selected units. Floors 2, 3 and 4 come furnished with hardwood flooring. Some units are adorned with ceramic tile flooring in baths.

All lofts include Whirlpool stainless steel kitchen appliances, granite counter-tops, stainless steel kitchen sink, a 36ā€ refrigerator space pre-plumbed for automatic ice-maker, central heating and air conditioning with energy saving night set-back thermostat. Each loft is pre-wired for gas washer/dryer hookup, and each loft has energy-efficient fluorescent lighting controlled by Decora switches throughout. ā€œMany who planned to live in Downtown Los Angeles end up choosing Alta because it is a chic, genuine loft building that is bigger, nicer and cheaper than other nearby lofts,ā€ says Corey Chambers, a Realty Source Broker Associate and Publisher of the L.A. Loft Blog. ā€œA penthouse loft rental does not need to cost $4,000 per month.ā€
