Next week, Riverside County supervisors will be looking over requests for neighborhood revitalization program funds. These funds will help to purchase, fix-up and resell foreclosed and abandoned homes within the county. The requests for more than $16 milllion come from three cities- Desert Hot Springs, Lake Elsinore and Norco -and four non-profit agencies- the Coachella Valley Housing Coalition, Neighborhood Partnership Housing Services Inc., the Riverside Housing Development Corp. and the Riverside County Housing Authority.

The Riverside County Economic Development Agency will be disbursing the county’s money for the purchase and resale of foreclosed and abandoned homes. These homes will be resold to residents with a low to moderate income. Qualifying homebuyers must not have owned a property in the last three years and cannot make more than 120 percent of the county’s median income. Buyers are also required to attend classes that teach people how to be responsible homeowners.

The request for The Board of Supervisors to release these funds will take place on Tuesday.

Candy Spelling’s Dog Chooses Real Estate Professional to Sell The Manor

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

The most expensive house currently on the market in the U.S. belongs to Candy Spelling, the widow of the famous Hollywood producer Aaron Spelling. The 56,500-square-foot mansion known as “The Manor” is located in the exclusive Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles and has a price tag of $150 million.

So how does Mrs. Spelling choose the California real estate professional cut out for the job? By leaving the decision up to her dog, of course!

Spelling told her security guards to bring her Wheaten Terrier, Madison, into the room each time she interviewed a candidate to see how the dog reacted. If Madison did not respond in a friendly manner, she crossed the real estate agent off the list.

After Candy and Madison’s interview process, Madison decided that Sally Forster Jones, an associate with Coldwell Banker Previews International in Beverly Hills, was the winner.
