Sudden Passing of Laurie MannyAfter a brief illness, Laurie Manny passed away this week. The Real Estate community, her family and friends have lost an incredible woman.
Over the years I have written several posts for Laurie, never gave it a thought that I would have a last post on her site. It is with a sad and heavy heart that I share with you that Laurie Manny passed away after a brief illness this week. Laurie was a wonderful woman, a mentor and friend. Her friends and family are in shock and we all will miss her. Laurie Manny always did things on her own terms and was a brilliant mind. She has spoken at Inman, California Assocation of Realtors and many other venues to teach Realtors to become better bloggers. There are many bloggers in the Real Estate Industry that owe their success to Laurie's instruction. For those clients of Laurie Manny, Geoff McIntosh, Laurie's broker at Main Street Realtors is available to service your needs. For her friends that want to pay tribute to this incredible woman, the Manny family has yet to make public any arrangements. As soon as we have that information it will be posted here. To see the many tributes to Laurie, please visit her facebook page.

California: Let's celebrate Laurie's life on Thursday September 9, 2010 from 5-8 pm.....
Laurie Manny had so many friends in Southern California that we thought it would be nice to have a Memorial Celebration for Laurie in Long Beach. On Thursday September 9, 2010 from 5-8 pm there will be a celebration of her life at Parker's Light House on Shoreline Drive in Long Beach Ca. This will be an opportunity for all of us who loved Laurie to share stories, hugs and lots of laughs as we remember our dear friend. Laurie loved Parker's Light House and we will be on the Patio overlooking the water and the shoreline where Laurie took so many fabulous photos. We will be providing appetizers and there will be a no host bar. The dress is Beach Casual. We are requesting no cameras or blog posts. This is a special time for her family and friends to share their memories. We have set up a Laurie Manny Memorial Fund for those who would like to make a donation. I know there will be tons of flowers at her services in New York and we will be providing flowers in Long Beach so we thought that perhaps her friends might like to donate to a fund that will go to her family. Your donation will not be tax deductible as you are sending a gift to a friend. We had thought we would be able to set it up with a national bank but the paperwork was more then seemed necessary. Marlene Bridges is at her home in Palm Springs this week and was kind enough to inquire at a local bank and set up the account there. Make Checks Payable to: Laurie Manny Memorial Fund Mail to: Attn: Tellers El Paseo Bank The Market Place 39580 Washington Street Palm Desert, CA 92211 We plan to close the account on October 1 and distribute the money to the family at that time. We will also have a place where you can make a donation at the Memorial Gathering in Long Beach for those who will be there.
If you have questions you can contact Kaye Thomas, Lynda Eisenmann or Marlene Bridges . We hope to see you next Thursday!

Long Beach Condos Buyers Guide|Manifesto-Long Beach Real Estate-CaliforniaLong Beach Condos Buyers Guide|Manifesto-More Info Call (562) 212-5420-Long Beach Real Estate-Main Street Realtors-Laurie Manny-Long Beach RealtorLong Beach Condos Buyers Guide|Manifesto
As a professional who has sold many Long Beach condos and placed countless buyers in the Long Beach condos of their dreams, I feel it is my responsibility to tell you that there is a lot you need to know before jumping into your condo purchase. Your Needs and Desires...
It is important that you have a clear image of what you are looking for and that you transmit this clearly to your Realtor. Make a list and explain your needs and your desires. Understanding the difference between your needs and your desires will make your choices much easier to make. Your needs must be met, your desires may be sacrificed if they are not practical within your price range. Are you looking for a larger place for your growing family or are you looking for a larger place for entertaining? Where do you need that extra square footage? What will you sacrifice for it, if necessary? Are you downsizing? What are you willing to let go of? Don't let emotions cloud your judgment. Make certain that you get what you need from the new purchase; if some of your desires are fulfilled, all the better.
Be clear with your Realtor when explaining what you are looking for. What is most important to you?
Often a condo purchase is more about buying into a neighborhood lifestyle (location). If lifestyle is at the top of your needs list make certain that is clearly communicated to your Realtor. Do you entertain much? Make sure your complex has guest parking or there is ample parking in your new neighborhood. Are You Ready to Start Shopping?
Unless you are
an all cash buyer (be prepared with proof of
funds), you will need to be pre-approved, preferably by a direct
lender. If you have great credit and belong to a
credit union you may be able to get a stellar interest rate from them,
check it
out. When you find a condo that you want
to make an offer on you will need to submit you're pre-approval with the
offer. It is foolish to begin to shop
without a pre-approval; you might find your dream condo the first day
out, like
another of my recent buyer clients. You need to be in a position to write and submit your offer when you find the Long Beach condos that you want to purchase. Bank statements will probably need to be submitted along with your offer as proof of sufficient funds to consummate the transaction, have them with you with the account number blacked out.

Whether you are a first time buyer an experienced pro or
investor buying a Long Beach condo or loft can be a confusing and often stressful
process. It's an emotional experience
filled with many decisions, most with financial repercussions. Finding the right condo or loft is difficult enough; knowing what to offer, what and when to negotiate and how to make the deal work
best for you, the buyer, is another story altogether.
