Video - Happy Mother's Day 2023 for Jean-Luc Andriot

Mother's Day in the United States is celebrated annually on the second Sunday in May, and it has become a widely recognized and beloved holiday. While many people view it as an opportunity to celebrate their own mothers and the mothers in their lives, few know the history behind the holiday's origins.

The concept of Mother's Day can be traced back to ancient civilizations, but the modern holiday as we know it in the United States was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, who had passed away three years earlier.

From Realtor.com Wilt Chamberlain’s L.A. Mansion Bounces Back Onto the Market With Another Big Price Cut for Jean-Luc Andriot blog 050823

This notable Los Angeles estate has rebounded onto the market—with yet another price reduction.
Built for basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain, the massive dwelling is taking another shot at attracting a buyer.
The enormous, five-bedroom residence was listed for $19 million in 2018 and bounced back last year for $14.9 million. Now, it has returned at $11,995,000—a 37% discount on the original price.
Architect David Rich designed this special retreat for Chamberlain in 1971. But it was remodeled in 2008 by owner Dmitri Novikov, who souped up the kitchen with stainless appliances and modified the lower level to include guest bedrooms and a media room.
Dubbed the Big Dipper, Chamberlain once kicked back and relaxed in this gorgeous space.

May 2023 - Jean-Luc Andriot - How to Become a Homeowner for Jean-Luc Andriot blog 050123

It's not easy being a first-time homebuyer right now. At the end of last year, housing affordability hit an all-time low.1
