Sellers these days are often getting multiple offers, so don’t always jump at the first offer.  Discuss any and all offers with you realtor so that you make the most informed decision possible.  Also, it is ok to give a little something back to a buyer, such as an early move-in date.  However, never make an offer until you are asked and have discussed it with your realtor.

Take an afternoon and explore Crystal Cove State Park with a Naturalist Guide.  The Crystal Cove Alliance and REI have joined together to create this wonderful hiking experience.

These hikes are designed for hikers of all ability levels.  See the Crystal Cove Alliance website for more information about this activity or many of the others they offer: http://www.crystalcovebeachcottages.com/calendar&tours/.
