The Malibu Podcast The Mark & Grether Group

In this episode, we are joined by co-founder of The Mark & Grether Group and land specialist, Russell Grether, for a dive into the complex world of Malibu land. Land in the Malibu coastal zone is not as simple as it would appear, and having a basic understanding of the factors that make a lot desirable is essential for any buyer or seller. We get into key attributes to look for, pricing, ESHA, and more! | Each parcel in Malibu offers unique attributes. If you would like help evaluating a specific property, please get in touch with our team at (310) 230-5771 or russellandtony@compass.com.

*Disclaimer: always consult the appropriate professionals including, but not limited to, biologists, geologists, Malibu City, LA County, architects, engineers, and expeditors.*

In this episode, we are joined by local legend and fellow Compass agent, David Carter, to dive into the history and an insider's guide to Paradise Cove! One of Malibu's most iconic areas, the Cove is steeped in rich history. We dicsuss it's origins as a Chumash Village, later becoming a fishing community based around the famed pier, and finally it's current status as the most desirable mobile home park in the entire Country. | For more information David and the Carter family business, visit www.malibumobilehomes.com

Our yearly look-back at the year prior is here! And, since it's a little late, we've gone big. In the first segment, we review national trends and data of what was widely considered an unattractive real estate market throughout the country. After the break, we dive into Malibu's 2023 numbers, compare them to the booming years prior, and make our predictions for 2024.

We are proud to be back in the studio and recording our 6th season of the Malibu Podcast. 2024 has begun with a few hard things in Malibu including the passing of several hometown heroes, lots of rain, and a few landslides. What began as an introduction became a preamble, but we'll be back soon with a full 2023 real estate recap, a tribute to Matt Rapf, and more episodes of The People's History of Malibu.

Happy Holidays, Malibu! In the last episode of 2023, Tony and Justin review the last quarter of the year and touch on market trends on and off of the beach. Thank you for tuning in and we will back with new episodes in 2024!

Five years after the Woolsey Fire changed Malibu forever, Tony sits down with local legend, Point Dume resident, and purveyor of Malibu crystals and fossils, Stephen Hurd. In this episode, they begin by continuing our People's History of Malibu series covering Steve's early days on Point Dume and the rough and rowdy surf culture. During the second section, Steve recounts his harrowing experience with the Woolsey Fire including the loss of his Latigo Canyon ranch, saving his family home on Point Dume (as well as Tony's), and the powerful lessons that came with tragedy. Please note that in addition to explicit content, this episode may be triggering for those who have suffered loss or trauma from wildfires.
