And the band played on!  John’s company, Beverly Hills Properties, did a partial remodel of several rooms and an extensive re-landscaping and re-hardscaping to spruce up this Bel Air icon.  BMGI had a moderate role in supervising work done on the interior, but Bellagio was much more significant for the lesson it taught me about staging properties for sale.  Located immediately above Sunset Blvd and across the street from the UCLA practice field, 10847 Bellagio was never shown during rush hour or on Friday afternoons…when the UCLA band practiced!
