If you drive through the Temecula Valley it becomes obvious that Tarbell Realtors is the company working the hardest in the area.  We have aligned ourselves with a great company that we can be proud of.  I thought I would share with you a little about them.  Because they really are a "them".  Our company is founded and run by a family, not a corporate giant nor a franchise.  Because all of the offices are owned by the same person, we are free to utilize resources in every location. 

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tarbell 

The company was founded in 1926 by Frank Tarbell.  That's more than 80 years of dedicated service to the real estate industry.  By constantly growing and changing (as they should) along the way, Tarbell, Realtors has positioned itself as a leader in real estate today.

   Don & Betsy Tarbell

Don Tarbell, the second generation and current owner of Tarbell, Realtors has led the company into the age of technology while keeping the emphasis on service, making the name Tarbell, Realtors synonymous with professionalism and integrity.  This man, Don Tarbell finds the time to attend our training events.  That just amazes me.  Especially when he oversees 31 offices in LA Counties, Orange County, San Bernardino County, Riverside County and the Desert areas.

He has built a great team too.  Tina Jimov is the president of the company and has a great passion for our success.  She attends all of our training events and sets the tone of positive attitude for our company.  This can be carried throughout the staff of office managers and assistants, graphic artists, advertising staff and so on.  All with something excellent to offer our personal real estate business which directly effects the Buyers and Sellers we work with in Temecula.

We feel that we chose wisely.

Have you been through the drop off loop at an elementary school lately?  This is a scary place.  I'm not sure what it is like in the rest of the country but here it is crazy.  I'm only familair with elementary since I have 3rd graders.

So picture a lot of parents (moms mostly) lining up in their cars and slowly taking their turns pulling through a loop to drop off their kids.  Some are awake and dressed for the day.  Some are not.  Some are eating.   Some are drinking coffee.  Some are yelling at their kids (some days this is me). 

But what I am NOT doing is talking on my cell phone while driving my huge vehicle within feet of your kids walking on the sidewalks, crossing the streets, etc. all around me.  WHO does this?  I mean is the president on the phone?  All it would take is one kid to bump another kid off the curb and then even with my best intentions...someone could get hurt.

I do talk on my phone in the car, respectful of the new law, always with my earpiece.  But even then...never ever in the school zone which I'm pretty sure includes that scary loop place.  I am continually amazed that there are people that actually think that it's okay. 

So really what I wanted to say in a nutshell....Temecula moms and dads....please get off the phone while you are driving your  SUV within feet of my two little boys.

Did I mention I have to go back there again today since it is also the "pick up" loop??

There is nothing quite like waking up to the sight of Mount Palomar looming gorgeous in the background of your backyard.  And wait...is that a crystal clear pool spilling over the side?  I must be dreaming.  The sound of gently cascading water is beautiful.   There is a wonderful scent of orange blossoms wafting in.   Maybe I'll have my coffee there on the patio this morning and watch this Temecula morning complete itself.

Okay, okay it's not my house.  I'm imagining it.  But it can be yours.  See it here:
