Nothing to it but to do it. Say to yourself, I’m going to do this thing for 30 seconds. Just 30 seconds. See if you can go past that 30 second mark.

I tried to make it to Santa Clarita for some ice time today, but the Altadena market had other plans. When you’re prepping for two open houses in a “tough” insurance zone, you don’t cut corners.
Today’s 4-stage loop:
Deep dive into the **June 2026 CAR form updates**. With the new rules on Buyer Representation and non-automatic renewals, the game has shifted. I’m making sure my clients are protected before they even sign an offer. ⚖️
Stopped by the office to ring the sales bell. Success is a mindset, and our team is locked in. 🔔
High-level lunch & learn on the **California Sustainable Insurance Strategy**. We aren’t just “hoping” for coverage anymore—I’ve got the list of the 6 major carriers expanding back into the foothills and the latest on FAIR Plan “clearinghouse” transitions.
Finishing the day on the pavement. Door hangers are out, neighbors are chatted with, and the Altadena community is ready for a big weekend. 🚪
You can’t just “list” a house in the foothills and walk away. You have to navigate the legislation, solve the insurance hurdle, and do the legwork. I’m hosting these open houses this weekend to be that resource for you.
Stop by and see me this Saturday & Sunday! DM for the addresses and my **”2026 Altadena Buyer’s Insurance Cheat Sheet.”** 📥
