About Me:
Jason Buck is a lifelong resident of Palos Verdes and enjoys the history and culture of the peninsula. Growing up by the Pt. Vicente lighthouse, Jason learned about the hill roaming the plains under city hall and wading through the tide pools at the bottom of the cliff. In 1998 Jason bought the home he grew up in, and started his career in real estate.
Jason has also had the opportunity of traveling through Europe, Central America, Mexico, and Australia, and Costa Rica. His travels have opened his mind to various cultures and experiences allowing him to understand and appreciate the different lifestyles around the world. After managing a family business and installing hardwood floors, Jason realized a natural ability of hosting clients in the town he was raised. "It was really easy for me to show visitors the peninsula and entertain them with the numerous attributes and specialties the hill has to offer," he said after showing a prospective buyer a few Palos Verdes homes. "Many people have no idea that a PV oasis exists, and I know a lot of the hidden secrets that keep this place special." Jason has received a Certified International Property Specialist designation from the National Association of Realtors® and is expanding his business to International markets. His goal is to find solid relationships that support win/win situations for both client and agent.

The living library. First time vim getting the facts. I enjoy and able to digest everything he said. Tqvm for the shared information.

[@wk4240]

These residents know the risks of living there, they read , they are educated. It's time for them to face the reality - it's time to get out while they can.

[@loreleimckeel8887]

I am sure as well that they signed disclosures on the slide potential before escrow

[@PalosVerdesHouses]

the slide has increased in the last two years. Many of the residents have lived for over 30 years in the area and bought when the slide was not moving as much.

[@PalosVerdesHouses]

@@loreleimckeel8887 yes - there are several disclosures and reports on the City of RPV website, however, conditions have changed drastically in the last two years.

[@juliametcalf2660]

They had decades of beautiful views.....silly not expect or appreciate what the geology indicates ....unicorn thinking made popular in CA ....prime exampke

[@ciararespect4296]

Yea definitely upbeat. Positivity etc. It drives a lot if wealth and investment like a snowball rolling down a hill but when there's a crash things get ugly quickly. ​@@juliametcalf2660

[@Leipuanani]

Wow! Very informative.

[@parrotletsrunearth1173]

Now at least 135 homes are going to slide right into the ocean.

[@PalosVerdesHouses]

it will take a while for these homes to reach the ocean..

[@aliceinoregonland3942]

​@@PalosVerdesHousesThe pony is they won't be habitable, just like the homes in La Jolla, back in the 80's!

[@maxv3208]

The ground was shifting so badly he couldn't even stand up straight on the bus.

[@Horace1993]

Dude the road is a roller coaster along there.

[@kandiceblu1]

Exactly

[@bobjohnson2172]

Thank you. He is an interesting fellow.

[@jackiemansfield8325]

Nobody took him seriously and are now paying the price.

[@adammwalch]

Nothing on the permission the city of RPV was forced to grant for development in the slide zone?!?!

[@jazziez6467]

I wonder how they moved multi million dollar mansions, he didn't explain that and are the homes they moved ok?

[@PalosVerdesHouses]

they moved homes out of this area in the 1950's over to Packet and Barkentine Rd - yes, those homes are fine. They were likely under 2000 feet and single level homes that they could move

[@brucehartnell1475]

Is that Hawthorne Blvd? When I was younger we used to try to jump our cars there.

[@melissabolden4051]

The city and the builders need to be sued for allowing houses to be built there when they already knew of the fault !

[@7phyton]

As in other places, if I understand the history correctly, the city WAS sued, but for the opposite reason: to get the court to compel them to allow houses to be built. Developers do this all the time. Then they cash in and move on to the next place, leaving buyers and taxpayers holding the bag.

[@Don.Challenger]

On that slide terrain, as you can see from some wobbling, you better be both seated and buckled in; but all young adventuresome ones like to stand on the bus of life. Please note that this Portuguese Bend special has Stop Requested all the way but sadly no Stops are listed on the schedule before the Terminal.

[@PalosVerdesHouses]

I haven't seen a bus drive through that area in several years. They turn around on PVDS at Seacove.

[@Don.Challenger]

@@PalosVerdesHouses Maybe keep your eyes peeled for when the first new USPS electric truck (bound to be electric ones for Cali) bounces through there. Do they use community mail boxes and are they mounted on sledge bases?

[@gennaropupa5599]

I PERSONALLY have witnessed the RPV landslide since 1956. No, not global warming caused.

[@28704joe]

It's has always moved. It's just moving faster due to more rain. The increased rain is caused by you know what.

[@Horace1993]

Climate change sure isnt helping. Yes the slide is a long term thing been happening for thousands of years.

[@gennaropupa5599]

@28704joe I have personally experienced several years of heavy rainfall in Southern California Rainfall is NOT something new. Whats "new" is the FALSE theory that Climate Change/Global warming is occurring NOW, but has never happened before . Nature will do, what nature will do! Do what best for clean air/clean water of course, but stop the "panic" of the changing environment.

[@7phyton]

@@28704joe Yep. The 2022-23 water year had more precipitation statewide than ever before in weather records. It takes a while for a lot of water to percolate and cause problems, but sooner or later it does when you have expansive clay layers.

[@malanalan1]

@@gennaropupa5599 You are delusional. MAGA vegetable.

[@robertmanella528]

People should be sewing the developer!! Condemned the entire city bebefore a landslide causes mass casualties!! It's just a matter of time & it will all be in the ocean very very soon now!!! I don't care if a house is worth 30 million dollars,it is not changing your life!!! Again, they should see all contractors and the city from building there!!!! Lives are priceless and the entire city needs to be condemned immediately!!

[@solafide9903]

I hope they all move out of California. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

[@juliametcalf2660]

But you don't want them to vote & ruin other statex

[@bypinkerton892]

Yeh... Keep them in California.... They are Blue....

[@SelinaZhang-q1p]

😂

[@sidgysoho1960]

Would not moving the mansions precipitate more of the sliding to occur ? I'm thinking there is no break even point in a maneuver of that kind. This is kind of like cutting off your nose to spite your face ! Sorry for all the congenial quips but it just shows to go, " Ya's can't fix Stupid " !

[@GorlicBreadz]

Lol sit down sir you don't the balance.

[@abpccpba]

so far useless BYE
