✨ Great news! ✨

I’ve just returned from one of the most incredible experiences of my life — my sister’s kidney transplant. 💙

The generosity, kindness, and love we witnessed renewed my faith in people. To think that someone would step forward, raise their hand, and say “I’ll do this” for another human being — it’s nothing short of a miracle.

Back in 2005, my sister’s first transplant was a blessing. But after Covid wreaked havoc on her body in 2021, we needed a new donor. And thanks to the extraordinary kindness of Angela Randolph, my sister was given this second miracle.

We are deeply, forever grateful. 🙏

Sometimes life reminds you just how beautiful humanity can be. I’m still a little high on life from it all.

🎲 A few years ago, I had a client who was a professional gambler. He taught me a lesson I’ve carried into real estate ever since.

He said: “Don’t bet on possibility. Bet on probability.”

When it came time to price his home, he didn’t want to chase the dream number. He wanted the number that would actually happen. The probable price.

And that’s how the best decisions get made in real estate.

Yes, anything is possible — but possibility is a needle in a haystack. Probability gives you the freedom to move forward, to make real plans, and to sell with success.

✨ Play the odds that work. The probability is your power.

Grilled Cheese, à la John

Ingredients:
• Equal parts Gruyère + sharp cheddar
• Duke’s mayo (nothing else will do)
• Sea salt & freshly cracked black pepper
• A touch of butter
• Cast iron skillet seasoned by time (mine’s 80 years old)
• One craving for comfort

Instructions:
	1.	Grate the cheese—inhale deeply.
	2.	Mayo the outside of the bread (trust me).
	3.	Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
	4.	Stack the cheese, close the sandwich, and press it into the skillet like it’s your job.
	5.	Flip when golden. Listen for the sizzle. Smile.
	6.	Slice. Serve. Watch everyone melt.

Some people sell houses. I feed people.

Love isn’t a privilege. It’s a right.

We’ve been together for 16 years, married for over 11—and every day, we build a life rooted in partnership, laughter, work, travel, family, and an ever-deepening love.

Marriage changed not just our relationship, but the way our families saw and embraced us. It brought a sense of belonging that words like “partner” never fully carried.

Marriage isn’t for everyone—but the right to choose it is. And that right belongs to all of us.

So with love and with strength, we say:
#HandsOffOurMarriage 💍🏳️‍🌈

There will always be a million reasons not to buy a home. The market. The timing. The headlines. Fear has a loud voice.

But here’s the truth: buying vs. renting? It’s a no-brainer when it comes to long-term wealth. Whether it’s a condo, a townhouse, or a single-family home, owning real estate builds equity—and that builds your future.

If you’re feeling the fear, that’s normal. I’m here to be your coach through it. To talk you through the questions, the what-ifs, and the what-now’s.

Let’s start the conversation. You don’t have to do it alone.

In a world that often feels uncertain, I want to share something deeply personal—and incredibly hopeful.

My sister has been in need of a kidney since losing her transplant during COVID. After nearly two decades with her previous kidney, the wait began again… until a remarkable woman named Angela stepped forward.

Angela—a distant friend of my sister’s—has become a true angel in our lives. This month, she is donating a kidney to my sister. A selfless act. A second chance. A blessing for our family.

Our parents are no longer with us, but I know they’d be so proud of this moment, and of the kindness that still exists in the world.

I’ll be heading to Birmingham to be with my sister, to support her—and to thank Angela, whose generosity reminds me that there is still so much good in the world. 💛

I’ve always had this instinct with homes.

I can walk into a space and immediately feel what it wants to be. The light, the energy, the way a room breathes—it all tells a story. And I love helping people shape that story into something deeply personal.

Whether it’s a full renovation or just rethinking how the light hits the floor, there’s always a way to transform a house into a home. It’s not about perfection. It’s about feeling like you belong there.

That moment when you walk in and think: Yes. This is mine.

Back from Palm Springs with a full heart, a sun-kissed glow, and… a very large bowl of citrus.
Naturally, it’s salad time. But not just any salad—this one is a little glam, a little rustic, and totally California.

Here’s how to make a citrus salad that looks like an art project and tastes like vacation:

Palm Springs Citrus Salad
A colorful, fresh mix that’s as charming as a bungalow in the flats.

Ingredients:
	•	2 pink grapefruits
	•	2 blood oranges
	•	2 cara cara or Valencia oranges
	•	A handful of kumquats (don’t overthink it)
	•	½ cup green olives, roughly chopped
	•	¼ cup pistachios, chopped for crunch
	•	1 fennel bulb, paper-thin slices (mandolin makes it easy)
	•	Shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano
	•	Fresh mint leaves

Sherry Vinaigrette:
	•	1 tbsp finely diced shallots
	•	Pinch of salt
	•	1 tbsp sherry vinegar (go aged if you’ve got it)
	•	1½ tbsp olive oil
	•	1½ tbsp grapeseed oil
	•	½ tsp honey

Instructions:
	1.	Slice citrus into rounds or segments—channel your inner artist.
	2.	Toss with fennel and chopped olives.
	3.	Shake up vinaigrette in a jar ‘til glossy and smooth.
	4.	Drizzle just enough—save the rest for later.
	5.	Sprinkle pistachios, layer on the cheese, and top with torn mint.

It’s bright, bold, and just a little unexpected—kind of like your dream home.
Enjoy, and tell your guests it’s your Palm Springs signature.

It’s sweet, it’s tangy, it’s meaty, it’s a little funky.
It’s everything I want in three bites.

Golden garlic-rubbed crostini, creamy whipped sweet potato, smoky pork tenderloin, earthy pickled walnut, a little herbaceous flair — and yes, a glup of wine to kick it all off.

This one’s a crowd-pleaser.

Here’s how to make it:

Sweet Potato + Lomo Crostini
with Pickled Walnut & Chervil

Ingredients:
• 1 medium sweet potato
• 2.5 oz goat cheese
• 1 tsp honey
• Pinch of thyme
• Salt & pepper
• Baguette (sliced)
• Olive oil
• 1 garlic clove
• Smoked pork tenderloin (lomo), thinly sliced
• Pickled walnuts, finely chopped
• Fresh chervil
• Black pepper

Method:
	1.	Roast the Sweet Potato:
Bake at 350°F for ~30 mins or until soft.
	2.	Make the Whip:
In a food processor, combine roasted sweet potato, goat cheese, honey, thyme, salt & pepper. Blend until smooth.
	3.	Prep the Crostini:
Heat olive oil in a pan. Toast baguette slices until golden brown. Slice a garlic clove in half and rub each toast.
	4.	Assemble:
Spread a generous layer of the sweet potato whip.
Fold 2–3 slices of lomo on each crostini.
Top with chopped pickled walnut.
Garnish with fresh chervil and a good crack of black pepper.

Serve with wine. Savor slowly. Repeat often.

Navigating the Los Angeles Real Estate Landscape Amidst Wildfires

The recent wildfires in Los Angeles, including the Palisades and Eaton fires, have profoundly impacted our community, resulting in the loss of over 12,000 structures and at least 27 lives. 

For those currently in escrow or considering buying or selling homes, the situation has introduced new complexities:
	•	Insurance Challenges: Securing homeowners insurance in high-risk fire areas has become increasingly difficult, with some insurers pausing new policies. 
	•	Lender Precautions: Lenders are conducting disaster inspections to confirm property conditions before finalizing loans, ensuring homes are undamaged and standing.
	•	Employment Verifications: Given the economic impact, lenders are re-verifying borrowers’ employment statuses to ensure financial stability.

Additionally, the community faces challenges such as rent gouging, with reports of landlords illegally increasing rents for displaced residents. 

At the John Barrentine Group, we are committed to guiding you through these uncertain times. If you have questions or need assistance navigating the current real estate market, please reach out. We are here to support you with the latest information and resources.

“Quick, easy, and absolutely delicious! 🍤🍝 Let’s walk through this simple shrimp and pasta recipe that you can whip up in no time – just eight ingredients and a touch of spice. Blanch the caballonero, sauté garlic, cherry tomatoes, and onions, then add perfectly seasoned shrimp. The key? It all comes together in the time it takes the linguine to cook! 🔥

For that extra kick, I’m using some chiltepin peppers from New Mexico – crush them up and toss them in for a flavor explosion. 🌶 A squeeze of lemon, a little pasta water, and a generous grating of parmesan to finish. Perfect meal to unwind after a busy day of real estate.

Pro tip: If you find someone who loves cooking at the end of a long day, you marry them! 😄

Can you relate🥂🥂

Here’s what I find fascinating about real estate. When everything seems its darkest, and everything’s about ready to fall apart, all of a sudden it doesn’t, right? And looking back, even though this was a hard week, looking back, it was a good week. We got, there were a lot of really amazing things happened this week, but it was. Yeah, from an activity standpoint, there’s no question. It was, it was really getting there. This week was more work than I’ve worked all year long, right, in a one week period, we worked more this week than we’ve worked all year. And we’ve been working a lot all year. And we’ve been working a lot this year. But that’s okay. You know, we’re happy for the work, and we’re happy for the clients that are having success. And there were several of those this week, and there are several that are still ongoing, and the conversations continue. 2023-10-31 11:10:44 .. 17 -63% 4 -47%
