You’re invited to my Open House Sun 7/17 10:00am – 1:00pm

23665 Rio Avenue on Carmel Point, Carmel CA

Why is Carmel Point the “Crown Jewel”? OK, that’s just MY opinion. Why do I love it so much? I have an answer for that one. But first, for those not familiar, I think I should identify the area geographically.

Carmel Point is directly south of Carmel-by-the-Sea and is part of the county . . . and not part of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Now for some folks, that’s a really good thing, but for the others that want to be “officially” in Carmel-by-the-Sea – it won’t work and you don’t get to vote for mayor.

What you do get is the most beautiful and magical area to live in and for the most part- away from the thousands of tourists that spread themselves out over the streets and white sand beach of Carmel-by-the-Sea. You have quick access to two beaches from the Point as many call it, Carmel River State Beach, and Carmel Beach.

Many of the homes have views of the ocean, the river, the lagoon and wetlands, and Point Lobos. For more information about Carmel Point a group of residents have made a very comprehensive website “Living on Carmel Point” detailing community resources, history and points of interest.

Of the 18 homes available on Carmel Point, Alain Pinel Realtors has 4 of them listed. The following are our listings, but I would love to help you explore all the homes for sale on the Point!

Carmel Chamber of Commerce 2016 Luncheon, Carmel CA

June 10, 2016

Judie Profeta, owner/broker of Alain Pinel Realtors, Carmel. Awarded the Citizen of the Year award.

An amazing time was had by all at the Carmel Chamber of Commerce 2016 luncheon in the barrel room of Folktale Winery & Vineyards in Carmel Valley. Jeanie Sumners of the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, Board Chair, welcomed all. Assisting her on stage, Erin Clark of KSBW proved again that she is the best emcee on the Monterey Peninsula bringing levity and excitement to the introductions and ceremony. Mayor Steve Dallas was introduced and he assured everyone the beach fires on Carmel Beach would return.

After a delicious lunch, recognition was given to members of the chamber celebrating their milestone participation in the Carmel Chamber from 5 years and up. Twenty-seven businesses were recognized for 45+ years of membership including the Hyatt Carmel Highlands or as most of us refer to it, the Highlands Inn (one of my very favorite places). Mel Bettcher, the Managing Director was there to accept the honor.

Recognition was given to Volunteer Committees and Staff and I was even able to stand up to get recognized as a new Ambassador to the Chamber.

The Spirit of the Chamber Awards are always the big prize and two Alain Pinel Realtors came home with two of the honors.

Cathy Shanderl, one of my fellow realtors at Alain Pinel, won the Ambassador of the Year Award. She is always ready to help and had contributed greatly to the Chamber events.

Judie Profeta, owner/broker of Alain Pinel Realtors, Carmel, was honored as the 2016 Citizen of the Year. This is a huge honor and reflects Judie’s great contributions to the community not only for the many boards she serves on, but her willingness to give to her community in so many different ways. Judie gives endlessly to her community, to her agents and business, and to her family. A class act.

All in all, it was a lovely event. I met new friends, caught up with old friends and was able to cheer for my Alain Pinel associates.

Living the #Carmellifestyle ~ Bopping around Carmel on a sunny Saturday!

May 15, 2016 Susan Clark

Living the #Carmellifestyle . . . by the way, what does that mean anyway? I guess it’s different for everyone depending on “what floats your boat” but I’ll give you a taste of what I think is fun around Carmel, because that’s just what I did yesterday on a gorgeous Saturday morning. (Yes, realtors do take a day off once in a while!) I started off the day having a lovely breakfast with my hubby and then after a kiss good-bye, I took off on my adventure.

Mantra Salon, at Mission and 7th, in the Court of the Fountains

First stop was my appointment with Veronica, owner of Mantra Salon, for a cut and color. She is so amazing and I always feel beautiful when I walk out of there.! Since I’m preparing for a trip I had a long list of “to do’s” and having my hair done was #1.

Mantra Salon looks out onto this beautiful courtyard, Court of the Fountains – how Carmel is that! As I left sporting my new do, I noted the mark on my tires, and knew it was time to move my car before the meter maid came around again. I found a lucky spot right on Ocean Avenue right where The Art Festival was in full gear.

23rd Annual Art Festival & Plein Air Competition

Artists come from all over the country to participate in the Annual Art Festival & Plein Air Competition. They scatter themselves all over the Monterey Peninsula Wednesday – Friday painting all of our wonderful scenery.

Then the paintings are hung in the outside gallery on Mission St. between Ocean and 6th for viewing, judging, and bidding on. The winning bidders will take home the paintings to hang in their homes.

All of a sudden I spotted a very familiar scene. Stacy Barter had painted our charming Alain Pinel Realtors office in downtown Carmel and her painting had won first prize in the Plein Air Competition!

Well, that was certainly a wonderful discovery, but my stomach was growling so I headed to Carmel Plaza to the Carmel Coffee and Cocoa Bar

to grab a delicious Greek Salad before the fashion show which would begin at 1:00pm.

Mira Schumacher, the owner of the cafe, greets her customers by name and makes them feel very welcome . . . and has dynamite food! Since the cafe has both indoor and outdoor seating, I settled on a table in the sun to enjoy the lovely weather as well as the 60’s music that was already blaring throughout the plaza to put us in the 60’s mood.

After lunch I hurried to a seat in the area of the plaza where the Fashion Show was to take place. The master of ceremonies was just about to begin.

I’ve always loved Fashion Shows so was really looking forward to it!

Here we go . . .

to be continued . . . .
