Why you might consider EFT...What is EFT?

This lovely lady is Melinda Utal-Martinez and she is a long-time friend of mine.  She has also been an EFT practitioner since 2000.  EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a fantastic and easy mind/body acupressure tapping technique that quickly reduces stress and other unpleasant negative feelings. EFT and hypnosis can be a fantastic help if you want to improve your life, health, habits, relationships, stress, self-esteem, and creativity.  Check out Melinda's site here.  You can also check out her tremendous reviews on Yelp.com.  Melinda also offers a new service, using EFT, to help interested clients explore a harm reduction approach to their possible over-use of substances such as alcohol, drugs, caffeine, and cigarettes.  This can be a refreshing alternative to 12-step programs.

Melinda just moved to a new office in Atwater and to celebrate, she is offering a discounted one-hour session at her office or by Skype.  Check her website and call her for details.

Gorgeous Cape Cod in Adams Hill is now on the market

Check out 1221 E. Palmer in the Adams Hill section of Glendale -- it will be on the mls Saturday and is listed for $499,000. More pics can be found on my website at JudyGraff.com.  This adorable home is notable for its outstanding maintenance and the restoration of its original character charm, along with its peaceful hillside location.  The seller has done a beautiful job in making this perfect -- no detail has been overlooked.

Updated electrical service and plumbing, refreshed landscaping plus a whole-house fan complete the picture.  Adams Hill is located in south Glendale and is adjacent to Atwater and Eagle Rock.  This pristine neighborhood of character homes was listed by L.A. Magazine as “One of the Ten Best Neighborhoods (That You’ve Never Heard of).”  Please call me if you'd like to see it -- it will be open on Feb. 10 from 1 to 4.

Cutest house of the week -- in Atwater!

I showed this home at 4122 Edenhurst ($495,000) in Atwater today.  Even though it's not large, it was totally impressive -- completely redone, yet period details intact and freshened up.  It has a cute (not permitted) guest unit, too and a lovely green backyard.  And the neighborhood...!  I don't show there very often, but I'm going to pay A LOT more attention to it from now on.  Atwater has totally come around in the last few years, the residential homes have been spiffed up and there's lots of pride of ownership evident now in the area.  The home prices are less than what you'd find in similar areas.  It has cool restaurants, golf courses and horse stables nearby (I stepped in a road apple) and a bike path now runs along the L.A. River.  Well, okay, it still has LAUSD schools, but it also has its very own Costco (what more could you want, right?).  If you work downtown, in Pasadena or even the east SFV, it's really well-located.  It would be a great option for those looking for homes in the $450k-$600k range.
