Ewing and Associates Sotheby’s exposes listing to Chinese community

Our Encino listing shown on Caimeiju

By: Stephen Roesler

In an attempt to expand our global digital reach, Ewing and Associates recently hired Angela Wong, Director of Marketing/Asia. Trilingual in English, Cantonese and Mandarin, Angela maintains relationships with some of the most influential industry leaders in China. With her focus on overseas clientele, Angela recognized the need to market to Chinese buyers via popular Chinese websites. With her help, Ewing and Asscociates Sotheby’s Intl. Realty teamed up with Caimeiju to promote select listings to the steadily growing market of Chinese buyers.

Caimeiju, a real estate marketing agency that shares listings with Chinese investors, promotes listings on Chinese search engines and utilizes Chinese social media sites, helps Ewing and Associates offer a unique service to its agents. Knowing that Chinese buyers aren’t privy to same search results that are available in the U.S., Caimeiju helps us promote our newest Calabasas, Encino, Sherman Oaks and Studio City homes on a venue that is largely under utilized in the real estate world. With the help of Caimeiju, Ewing and Associates captures Chinese buyers and uniquely handles them with the help of our very skilled and educated Angela Wong.

Demolition week

By: Stephen Roesler

As much of the community knows, we are relocating our Calabasas office to 23647 Calabasas Rd. Sitting next to Susie Cakes, just down from Bank of America, this office was once home to Fred Sands Realtors until Coldwell Banker bought the space. Coldwell Banker, however, closed its doors in 2008 and the space sat empty. As your Calabasas and Hidden Hills specialists, Ewing and Associates Sotheby’s is moving into the space. We want to take you with us as we transform this space over the next few weeks. Here is week one:

Lunch Truck in Calabasas

By: Stephen Roesler

Anyone who’s spent time in our Calabasas office has likely heard the cacophonous clown horn incessantly blaring from the Roach Coach. It’s distracting, annoying and bit obnoxious. But, the food is actually decent.

Perfect for a hardy breakfast burrito or veggie omelet, the Calabasas food truck is the child of Calabasas Custom Catering, a Santa Maria Style BBQ. Paul and Fran, founders of the catering company, decided to try their hand at the lunch truck service business and they are doing pretty well. Most mornings and afternoons, the truck has a line of customers awaiting some bbq mexican food.

Cathy Lopez the Westridge Calabasas Gate Guard tells her story

By: Stephen Roesler

The Calabasas community is typically known for it’s comfortably financial, celebrity-scattered neighborhoods. But amid the usual suburban sprawl there remain a few rare stories that residents likely never hear.

Leaving at 5am to make the commute to the Westridge security tower on Park Granada, Cathy Lopez leaves her Downey home well before morning traffic. For 17 years, the dedicated Lopez has worked in quality control. And, although strange to some, she thoroughly enjoys it.

“We do access control. A normal day is 100+ vehicles,” she shrugs. “We log them in. The people are very good. We get to make friends 2 minutes at a time,” she smiles.

Occasionally, she explains, “we have the ‘lookie lue’s’ that are coming to look for movie stars. People ask for the Kardashians and the Simpsons.” And, for the most part, people are pretty respectful.

“But, people have called me some choice names,” she laughs. “People come without an appointment…asking to get in. ‘You can hold my drivers license. I’ll trade you my child,’ they say.”

Originally from Santa Fe, New Mexico, Lopez is now sold out on Los Angeles. “Santa Fe, New Mexico. It’s an ok place to visit or retire,” she chuckles. “But it’s not living. Not what I call living. I love Los Angeles.”

As an access control employee, Lopez is paid to make sure the right people get let in and the unauthorized people stay out. It’s monotonous, she admits. But the morning shift is a particularly busy time. Although she does have her own T.V. in the tower, she rarely watches anything with a plot.

“I never watch television that has an ending,” she says. “9 times out of 10 I don’t get to see the end…which is kind of frustrating. I try not to watch anything with substance.”

Instead, she frequents sports, particularly Tennis.

“I’ve got the French Open on here, that’s a good thing,” she states confidently. “I get to watch tennis. I love that.”

Next time your pulling into Westridge gate make sure to say hello to Cathy. And don’t be afraid to talk for a little longer than 2 minutes. It will likely be her last job.

“I would say this will be my last job, I won’t be looking for anything else.” she comments. “It’s a great job and as long as they’ll have me I’ll show up. Dress up and show up!”
