Hey Scherb Homes Family!

Hope you’re doing well and enjoying this beautiful South Bay spring! Our family has been making the most of it lately—Clover and I had a blast camping overnight at the Santa Barbara Zoo with the Adventure Guides. We got a behind-the-scenes tour, saw some amazing animals up close, and slept under the stars with giraffes just a few feet away. Baseball season is also in full swing with Clover playing for the Angels this year, and we’ve been catching up with family and friends between showings and listings. It’s been a season of full hearts and full calendars.

Exciting News! Scherb Homes Group is honored to be named the #9 top-producing team at Vista Sotheby’s for January 2025! This achievement wouldn’t be possible without the trust of our amazing clients, friends, and industry partners. We’re grateful for your support and excited for what’s ahead in 2025!

When we met our clients at an open house, they were struggling to secure a lease after being displaced by the recent fires in the Pacific Palisades. Determined to help them find a home that met their needs, we sprang into action, leveraging our expertise and deep knowledge of the South Bay real estate market.

Hello Scherb Homes Family,

I hope this message finds you well. We’ve had a busy and joyful start to the year, celebrating Kimberly’s dad’s 80th birthday, enjoying the Daddy-Daughter dance at Clover’s School, welcoming my mom from the East Coast, and participating in the Redondo Beach 10K with friends. However, the recent fires in and around Los Angeles have been concerning, and our thoughts are with those affected.

Scherb Homes Group is honored to be named a Top Producer for 2024, ranking in the top 10% among 300+ agents across nine Vista Sotheby’s International Realty offices.

Outfitted with built-in appliances, the kitchen boasts an open-concept design that flows into the inviting family room. Thoughtfully designed, the home includes a convenient secondary entrance from the driveway directly into the kitchen, making everyday tasks like unloading groceries effortless.

The recent Southern California fires have left a devastating impact on areas such as the Palisades and Altadena, displacing thousands of families and disrupting schools, businesses, and entire communities. While the rebuilding process begins, the ripple effects are being felt across the region, particularly in the South Bay, where we anticipate significant changes in the housing market.

We are thrilled to share that the Scherb Homes Group has been named a Top Producing Team at Sotheby’s International Realty! This recognition is a true honor and reflects the trust and confidence our incredible clients, team members, and colleagues place in us every day.

We’re diving into November, and as usual, the South Bay is treating us to beautiful weather. Clover’s soccer season is in full swing, and Halloween was a blast with all the neighborhood festivities. With Thanksgiving around the corner, we’re looking forward to some family time and quality moments with friends. Life’s good, and we’re grateful!!

Cliff took a very personal approach to working with us on our home purchase which was always appreciated. He was very quick to respond to any questions/requests about properties and showings. Our entire family was really impressed with his services and would absolutely use again. Thanks so much for everything Cliff! We love our new home!
