Sell your home directly to me and there is no listing agent and no buyer's agent, so no commission is paid by either side. Or list it on the open market with me representing you. Whichever genuinely suits you better is the one I will recommend.
Based on a typical combined commission of 5% (listing agent plus buyer's agent). Rates are negotiable and are not set by law. Illustration only, not an offer or an appraisal.
Some homes are worth more to me than they are on the open market. Some are the opposite. I will tell you which is which, even when that means listing your home instead of buying it.
A private purchase. I am the buyer, not an agent in the middle.
Full seller representation, if the open market serves you better.
I work a defined map on purpose. Knowing a set of neighborhoods well is worth more to a homeowner than knowing the whole county vaguely.
Everything worth knowing before you pick up the phone, on one page, the way a property record reads.
A call, a text or an email. Tell me the address and roughly what you are thinking. Nothing is committed and nothing goes public.
I walk it and pull the lot and record details. Then I tell you what I would pay, what I think it would fetch listed, and which one nets you more.
Sell to me, list it with me, or do nothing at all. All three are fine outcomes, and I will not push you toward the one that pays me better.
None. There is no listing agent and no buyer's agent in a direct sale, so no commission is paid by either side. For scale, a typical combined commission of about 5% on a $1,000,000 home is $50,000. Commission rates are always negotiable and are not set by law.
Then let's list it. I am a licensed California agent (DRE 02301544) and I represent sellers on traditional listings. Some homes genuinely do better on the open market, and when yours is one of them I will say so.
Your home is never publicly listed. No sign in the yard, nothing on the MLS, no open houses, no strangers walking through on a Sunday. You deal with one buyer, directly and privately.
No. I buy as-is. No renovating, no staging, no cleanout. If there are tenants in place, that is workable too.
The San Fernando Valley, including Studio City, Sherman Oaks, Encino and Valley Village, and the Conejo Valley, including Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Agoura Hills, Calabasas and Newbury Park.
Not at all. Plenty of homeowners talk once, decide the timing is not right, and get back in touch a year or two later. That is a completely normal way for this to go.
One conversation, no obligation, and nothing becomes public unless you decide it should. Tell me the address and whether you are curious about selling direct, listing it, or just what it is worth.
