Welcome! Don and Leslie have been full time Realtors in Ventura County for over 30 years. It's been fun watching as "little" Victoria Avenue (and many other streets) have morphed into what they are today.
Just as our local communities have evolved, we've seriously considered for the past several years how we could someday "give back" and "finish well" - expressions that can mean a lot of things to different people.
As part of our research into opportunities for service, in early 2013 we contacted a Peace Corps recruiter who helped us start our journey. But our new path wasn't going to be as straight and easy as we thought! And so we began a transition into something completely different from the routines we've known for the past 30 years - and have begun a path that's leading into the exciting unknown. This will be our story!

Interest rates spiked about 1/4 point yesterday as investors worry that the Fed’s pumping of trillions of dollars into the recovery will lead to inflation. The Obama administration has been trying to spur the real estate industry with low interest rates through the purchase of mortgage backed securities, but investors, sensing the market is turning upward, are beginning to NOT invest in those super safe investments, but believe they can get better returns elsewhere. Thus, the returns for the Treasuries must also increase to attract buyers. For more detail, read today’s Wall Street Journal article about these issues.
