“Being Jen Levinson’s step-sister gave me access to a lot of real estate agents in LA, and I chose to work with Michelle Schwartz. Michelle understood what we wanted, was extremely responsive and made herself available to my husband and I whenever we needed! She was able to successfully navigate us through this crazy real estate market to not only find the best house for us, but also provided invaluable advice for how to actually get it. We love our new home and look forward to many memories here. I cannot recommend Michelle enough to any family. She rocks!” – Debbie & Chris Gough(schwartzgough@gmail.com) Contact Michelle Schwartz with The Agency at 310-800-0408 or Mschwartz@theagencyre.com for more info! DRE# 1889141

“Real City Stuff” A collection of single panel observations of life. You’ll find the faces to be expressive and comical, though the author, Jack Hertz, tends to avoid the doughy, dots for eyeses style you find in the Sunday comics. Not that there is anything wrong with that. His characters tend to be more “semi life-like” and his style is eclectic. This is all designed to avoid boring myself or, hopefully, you. His interests run the gambit from relationships, old age, medical and mental health, courtroom dramas, cops n’ robbers kids, to animals, you name it.
