In Southern California, inventories have plunged over the last year. The number of homes listed for sale in April fell 35% in Los Angeles County and was down 42% in Orange, 39% in San Bernardino, 42% in Riverside, 53% in Ventura and 43% in San Diego counties, according to online brokerage Redfin.I sent my Auction Bidder to San Bernardino County recently to find and buy some investment properties. There were only 200 bidders but they bought everything over and above the market price. There is such a big influx of cash right  now that regular consumers are having a hard time finding a good deal. Buyers are bidding $25,000 to $30,000 over asking price,http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-inventory-20120610,0,1637144.story.What do you think is going on in the local real estate market? I remember a similar situation happen during President Carter's term in office. Most of the Los Angeles Business Skyline was bought up by foreign companies for cash and leased back to the tenants on 25 year leases. So on the outside you would still see the Bank of America Building, the Trans America Building, etc. . . .  It would look the same to and ordinary person but most of the downtown was owned by foreign entities. I hope the residential market is not experiencing the same thing in our current market conditions, but it sure makes me wonder.  ...read more

There are a few type of janitorial services you should be aware of before hiring a janitorial service. Your ability to understand what type of company you are dealing with will help you o make a good decision. We will first cover in house labor. An office cleaning service that uses in house labor is typically the most reliable. The janitorial service has control over the quality ofcleaningand it's own employees. The contract is usually month-to-month and has a 30 day notice clause for cancellation. It has been our experience is that in house labor services have the best customer service and a heavy focus on operational excellence. Subcontracting firms are very similar contracts to the  house labor. The difference is that the service does not have much control over quality. When choosing a sub-contracting firm be careful to investigate the license, bond, and insurance of the contractor as well as the sub. It has been our experience that these types of services have great difficulty handling large facilities. Franchise companies often have the same service level as a sub-contractor but the contract can become a bit sticky. It is often difficult to cancel service even if the company fails to show up for service. Th contract usually automatically rolls over and the master franchise has little or no control over the quality of service. For this reason this is leats recommended type ofBuilding Maintenanceprovider.

Green Cleaning and Green Janitorial Services Hype or Fact Depending on how much you followjanitorial cleaning servicesyou may be wondering about all this talk of Green Cleaning and Green Janitorial Services . Let's get down to the bottom of this now. All janitorial services should be "Green". When you really sit and analyze green cleaning and standard cleaning there is not much of a difference. The practices are pretty much the same. I suppose you could tell the janitor to think green thoughts while he is using a mop, but that is just a little ridiculous. The truth is that aGreen Janitorial Serviceis really just re-branding the same thing that cleaning has always been. Using chemicals with  a lower voc content that are healthier for the indoor air quality should be the goal of any company. Does this really make them any "greener" than any one else? The answer is no. When you are looking for a service it is important that they are not selling under the smoke and mirrors of being greener than someone else just because they claim it. I have been in the industry for over ten years and when green cleaning was first marketed I was very interested and intrigued. I went to the major "green" certification companies and became green certified. Only to find that had had wasted time and money on something that is a simple as buying more Eco-friendly chemicals. Don't be fooled in to paying more for green janitorial services when there is really no difference in cost.
