For the record

Hot Property: The Nov. 4 column reported that actor Matthew McConaughey personally knocked on the door of a Malibu home that wasn't on the market and struck a deal. However, the story should not have implied that he chose the home at random. He was represented by Lily Harfouche of Coldwell Banker-Malibu West and was shown the house by the seller's agent, Michael Cunningham of Pritchett-Rapf & Associates, Malibu Road, who had a pocket listing on it.

Stone counters: A chart accompanying a Nov. 18 Real Estate story about countertop options stated that marble, soapstone, basalt and Jerusalem stone, among others, are tough and impervious to most stains. Treated soapstone and basalt fit that description, but marble and Jerusalem stone are highly porous and need regular care to be kept stain-free.
