        <title>Where Do Locals Eat in Encinitas, California? | The Lund Team Share Their Favorites</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 



This is a delicious, though unscientific, tour through the best restaurants in the Encinitas area, presented through the eyes and taste buds of your Lund Real Estate team.


Carlton &amp; Sandy - 101 Diner in Encinitas 


Carlton and Sandy give their thumbs up to the 101 Diner in Encinitas and 151 reviews on TripAdvisor rate the restaurant excellent or very good. The eggs Benedict receive particular praise as does the Greek omelet. The sauce and consistency of the egg are bright spots on 101's egg Benedict dish, and the Greek omelet has tomatoes, garlic, spinach, mushrooms, olives, jack, cheddar and feta cheese for a yummy take on a classic salad.


Will - La Papagayo 


Will can't stop talking about La Papagayo, which has a great vibe, is small and personal with great service and offers original Latin American food and live music on Saturdays. One local favorite that doesn't break the bank the Loco Moco, a coconut sticky rice smothered in a Mushroom Beef Gravy, a 7-ounce Beef Patty, 2 organic eggs, grilled Teriyaki pineapple and secret sauces.


Karlie - The Lanai 


Karlie looks the tropical food and atmosphere The Lanai restaurant. This Hawaiian oasis offers vegetarian choices like the Veggie Bahn Mi with jalapeno, roasted beet, pickled ginger slaw, cucumber and pickled carrot. The burgers here are impressive and no one leaves hunger.





Kate - East Village Asian Diner 


Four out of five Yelp reviewers and our very own Kate recommend East Village Asian Diner for hungry residents who like Eastern flavors. The monk bowl is mentioned in 85 reviews and you can add your choice of protein for a customizable meal every time you come. The beef power noodles are recommended on a stormy coastal day.


Tracey - Beir Garden 


If you want a laid-back restaurant with European flair, come to the Bier Garden. This German restaurant is family-owned and operated by the Osfolk family, who provide a warm atmosphere with authentic Bavarian cuisine and a stellar beer selection. Locals recommend the Steak Crostini and Pork Belly burger.


Jeff - Bentley's Steak &amp; Chop House 


Jeff firmly believes in his favorite place for steak, Bentley's Stea and Chop House, where the whiskey peppercorn New York strip adds a spicy twist on this prime cut of beef. Start out with the crab stuffed mushrooms for your own version of surf and turn and don't miss an inch of a large menu littered with surprisingly tantalizing offerings from land and sea.


Garrett - Patio 101 


Patio 101 is an indoor/outdoor restaurant in North County serving up local and seasonal fare for weekday lunch, happy hour, dinner, late night and weekend brunch. This charming eatery is pet-friendly and has wonderfully quirky menu names, such as the Twisted Elvis. If you belong to Open Table, you'll be happy to note that 101 is a member.


Tyson - Naked Cafe 


Just to be clear, clothing is not optional, so Naked Cafe diners get no unexpected surprises in this warm eatery with a relaxing setting and diverse menu. Zomato reviewers love that the menu is healthy and not loaded down with salt and free. Try the ginger tomato soup with a yummy comfort food with a kick.


We would love to hear your take on local cuisine and help you with your current and future real estate needs at the Lund Team of realtors.

        <title>How to Quickly Sell Your Home During the Fall</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 



The fall season presents some unique challenges when it comes to selling your property when compared to other seasons. However, don’t be discouraged. Just because you won’t experience the natural boom that exists in spring when it comes to property accusation, doesn’t mean you can’t move your property during the fall season. Being patient is important, though, as well as the following tips.


Top Tips to Sell Your Home Quickly This Fall


Use Property Photos From Other Seasons 


While it won’t matter when you’re showing your home in person, consider using photos of your property from other seasons that reveal how amazing your place looks throughout the year as part of your home's online portfolio. Scott McGillivray, who is the host of HGTV show “Income Property” and a successful real estate investor says, “the last thing you want is no leaves on trees or dead grass in photos.”


Don’t Underestimate Landscaping 


Speaking of dead grass, don’t forgo landscaping just because the lush season is over. You of course need to remove dead, or dying bushes or flowers. Then, research good ground cover and replant to create a healthy alive looking yard. Consider trees and shrubs from the Mediterranean or a California oak tree, toyon, lilac or sugar bush. You want to use plants that go down deep, root wise, and require little irrigation. If you aren’t sure what plants will work for you, visit a local nursery or have an expert landscaper come out and give you some suggestions. It will be well worth the investment in order to give your yard a little something extra curb appeal wise when compared to neighboring or nearby properties. After you have completed the work and have your yard looking fabulous, take new photos of your property that will highlight how it can look in the fall. This combined with the first tip will ensure buyers know your property looks amazing, year round.





Make Sure Your Property Stands Out 


Because the fall buying season is less active, you will have to make sure your property stands out from others. This means, of course, following the tips above with photos and landscaping, but it also includes completing any projects you have been meaning to finish. Take out the honey-do list and get to work Spruce up the paint, replace worn carpeting, install granite, remodel and update worn spaces in your home.


Now is the time to take your property up a notch. Go through it with the eyes of someone seeing it for the first time. Do the baseboards need a coat of paint? Is that light fixture dated? Get it replaced. All these small improvements will combine to leave a lasting impression on people viewing your home. They might not recognize all the hard work you did, but your property will stand out among the rest, which is the idea.


Choose a Good Real Estate Team 


At Lund Team, we are a family owned business, committed to your success. While it is normal to experience longer selling times during the fall, our goal is to help you find a buyer as quickly as possible, no matter the season. Of course, understanding the different real estate dynamics that exist in the fall season and adjusting your expectations is advised. However, by following the tips above, you will increase your chances of a quick sell, no matter your listing season.
