Lake Forest's BRU is a standout in the community!

Have you been to BRU lately in Lake Forest?  I popped in after some Christmas shopping and was so happy to see it filled with happy customers, celebrating the season.  BRU is one the only restaurants in Lake Forest that offers a place for a great meal, cocktail and ambiance! The new Beer Garden addition to the corner of El Toro and Rockfield is going to really brighten up that corner in Lake Forest. 

If you haven't been to BRU,  we thought we would share a bit of what we like about it! 

From the moment you step through the door, it's evident that BRU is more than just a place to dine; it's an experience to be enjoyed. 

Matt and the team take pride in its diverse menu that caters to every palate. Whether you're a fan of classic American comfort food or crave a more adventurous culinary journey, BRU has you covered. From their mouthwatering burgers to their wild caught seafood, every dish is a work of art. 

Enjoying a BRU Burger by Realtor Kelly Turbeville

Beyond a lovely meal, BRU Restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. The contemporary yet cozy décor creates the perfect backdrop for a casual lunch, a romantic dinner, or a celebratory gathering with friends and family. The friendly staff adds to the welcoming ambiance, providing attentive service that enhances the overall dining experience.

The spacious patio, adorned with twinkling lights, is a particular highlight, offering a delightful outdoor dining option. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a California day or a evening under the stars.   I have personally hosted a party at BRU on the outside patio and it was the perfect space for our get together as well as a few Happy Hours! 

No visit to BRU is complete without exploring their impressive drink menu. The skilled mixologists at the bar take pride in creating signature cocktails that perfectly complement the diverse menu. 

For those who appreciate local flavors, BRU Restaurant showcases an array of California craft beers. The thoughtfully curated beer list reflects the rich brewing culture of the region.

For us wine lovers, BRU offers an impressive wine list and a unique opportunity to buy a bottle in their shop to enjoy with a small corkage fee or enjoy a glass from the wide selection available. 

One of the aspects that make BRU Restaurant truly special is its commitment to community. Beyond providing exceptional food and service, BRU actively engages with the local community, supporting local farmers, artisans, and charitable initiatives. This dedication to community building creates a sense of belonging for patrons, fostering a positive and inclusive environment.

As a local Real Estate professional, I understand the importance of a having a great selection of Restaurants for it's residents.  This is one of the reason's I started the South OC Supper Club when C19 hit.   Plus I just really enjoy a lovely meal with great ambiance. 

So this month, I am giving away a $100.00 Gift Card to BRU!  So one of my VIP clients can enjoy a night out in the community!

Where are all the houses for Sale?

If you are thinking about a move, downsizing, relocating and have been searching for a home, you are probably thinking "where are all the homes for sale" isn't this time of year that we would see them? The answer to the later is yes!  May is typically the busiest month in real estate.  However with over 80% of homeowners refinancing to the low rates over the last couple of years, homeowners are in no hurry to make a move into a higher rate.  Is this you?   But life happens and buyer demand is pretty strong in most price points.  One reason... is the equity position homeowners have.  Just released over 67% of homeowners homes are either paid off or they have less than 50% remaining on their mortgage.  That means there is a ton of equity in the market!  In addition, buyers have come to terms with interest rates.  They understand they can refinance later.

Did you know there are over 200 original owners here in Portola Hills.  The community was started in the late 80's so that is nearly 40+ years of equity growth for those homeowners.  Especially with the median price of the area nearing $1 million dollars.   Most of those homeowners have very low mortgages or the homes are paid off, which provides them with a wonderful opportunity to leverage their equity into other rental properties.  Perhaps the original home could become or has become their first investment property. With rising rents, right now is an excellent time to perhaps take the jump to become a landlord.   Check out these 3 Mistakes we see first time investors make in the real estate market. 1.  Not doing a cash flow analysis. 🤑 It is easy to say, oh my mortgage is this, I can rent it for that and do the math.  But it goes much deeper than that, understanding your overall cost is critical step in planning. 2.  Not working with a real estate agent. 💁‍♀️ Truth, having a R
