Santa Monica boast the gentle balminess of weather that seldom drops below the low 50’s or raises above the 80’s. A beautiful beach which stretches for more than three miles of sparkling white sand and warm Pacific Coast waters, are seldom empty of swimmers, sunbathers, volleyball players and at least one or two celebrated movie stars (or at least some of those who would like to be!) And if you tire of the peerless shopping or the gourmet restaurants, take a stroll along the famous Santa Monica Pier or Promenade, visit the Amusement Park and its historic carousel, or sit and watch a magnificent West Coast sunset. The weather will likely be mild all year round, with maybe a little rain in the winter months. Feel free to peek at our local forecast via the links featured on this page.

Disclosure Laws >Avoiding Delays During Escrow
Unforeseen problems can arise during escrow, and closing dates are never set in stone! Lenders, appraisers, title attorneys, credit check services, or anyone who is involved in the transaction could potentially delay a closing. Stay in close touch with your real estate agent, who will notify you of deadlines and help you deal with delays.
Well-written sales contracts are the key to avoiding problems during escrow. For example, provisions can be included in the agreement that require the buyer to provide evidence of sufficient funds for down payment and closing costs, or to present proof of the ability to obtain homeowner's insurance. Because of new restrictions on insurance policies, the mortgage lender may require insurance before funding the loan.
There is also a section in the sales contract wherein the seller makes a warranty to the buyer of the condition of the property. It is important to make sure that this clause is modified to reflect the seller's transfer disclosure statement. If this is not done, the seller could be required to repair items that are found to be dysfunctional or faulty, and this could add time to the escrow period.
