Tuesday Tour Talk

Every Tuesday is the Half Moon Bay coastside’s ”Tour Day”. What that means for local SAMCAR members is starting the meeting at the Community Center, but today it was at the Oceano Hotel at Pillar Point Harbor. If you’ve been reading my blog you know that I’ve gotten a sneak peak before today! The local Realtors were treated to warm scones, fresh cut fruit, coffee and juice, in one of the harbor view conference rooms, followed by a tour of a few ocean view suites, the ballroom, and the shopping village…a fun change of pace from our normal weekly meeting location.

The meeting is typically led by one of the local Realtors. We go over announcements, review the printed tour sheet (new listings entered into the MLS since the prior week) and agents announce any additions or deletions to the day’s tour. Other important announcements are made also. George Mozingo, SAMCAR’s Government Affairs Director announced that anyone is welcome to attend the public meeting in Sacramento tomorrow (4/30/08) on AB1991, a single-issue bill written by Assemblyman Gene Mullin in an effort to help resolve the City of Half Moon Bay’s Beachwood judgment.

If a Listing Agent has a home on tour, they leave to arrive at the home before the 50+ agents get there. Some have food and some don’t. Today, homemade focaccia bread wafted from Grant Walters’ Moss Beach listing. Ina and Terry offered “to go” snacks at their El Granada home, and Bob McCahon spent hours rolling and dunking (kidding!) the infamous donut holes…but agents didn’t drive to his Pescadero listing for more sweets today!

This special country property is about an hour south of San Francisco. Or land your private plane at the HMB airport and drive 15 miles down Highway 1. With pastoral views to die for, plenty of outbuildings, beautiful swimming pool, hot tub, entertaining nooks around the property, caretaker’s cottage, and direct access to riding/hiking trails, it is waiting for one lucky family to create memories. Thanks, Bob, for bringing us this great property to offer our clients!
