Absolutely. Los Angeles remains one of the most dynamic and desirable real estate markets in the country. From the beaches of Santa Monica to the hills of Hollywood and the classic neighborhoods near the city center, homes in LA benefit from consistent buyer interest, strong long-term value, and a diverse pool of potential buyers—from first-time homeowners to seasoned investors. Even with shifts in the market, properties that are well-prepared and strategically priced continue to move.

If you’re thinking about selling, there’s every reason to feel confident—especially with the right support. By presenting your home in its best light and positioning it smartly within today’s market, you can attract serious attention and competitive offers. My job is to guide you through the process with experience, creativity, and care—so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

Transparency builds trust—and trust helps sell homes. When preparing your home for sale, it’s important to share key details that buyers will want to know. This includes the age of the roof, HVAC system, plumbing and electrical updates, any recent renovations, and major repairs. If you’ve completed a pre-listing inspection, that can be a major plus. Buyers also appreciate information about average utility costs, neighborhood features, school zones, and walkability.

The goal is to answer questions before they’re even asked. The more confidently you can present your property, the more at ease a buyer feels making an offer. I’ll help you gather and organize everything—from disclosures to marketing materials—so buyers can focus on the home’s strengths, not uncertainties. A well-informed buyer is far more likely to become your buyer.

In Los Angeles, a standard home inspection typically costs between $400 and $700, depending on the size and age of the home. Larger properties, multi-units, or homes with pools or unique features may cost more. While this is usually a buyer’s expense, many sellers choose to do a pre-listing inspection to uncover and address potential issues early.

Think of a home inspection as a smart investment in peace of mind. Whether you’re preparing to sell or reviewing a buyer’s findings, having a professional inspection helps reduce surprises, build trust, and keep negotiations smoother. If you need a trusted inspector, I’m happy to refer someone who’s experienced, thorough, and easy to work with.

The value of your home depends on several factors—its location, size, condition, recent upgrades, and how it compares to similar homes that have sold nearby. In Los Angeles, even one street or block can make a difference in pricing, which is why automated estimates often fall short. To truly understand your home’s market value, it’s best to get a professional Comparative Market Analysis (CMA).

I’ll evaluate recent sales, current listings, and market trends to give you a personalized price range based on real-time data and local insight. If you’re not quite ready to sell, that’s okay—I’m happy to provide this information with no pressure. Knowing your home’s value is a smart first step, whether you’re planning to sell now or just thinking ahead.

It depends on your goals, timeline, and budget—but small improvements can make a big difference. In Los Angeles, buyers tend to expect homes to be in relatively good condition, especially in competitive neighborhoods. Tackling minor repairs—like fixing leaks, touching up paint, or replacing dated fixtures—can help your home show better and attract stronger offers.

That said, you don’t need to renovate your entire home to sell it. Some sellers prefer to list as-is, especially if they want a faster sale or don’t want to invest more money up front. I’ll walk you through what’s worth fixing—and what isn’t—based on what buyers in your area are looking for. Whether you’re aiming for top dollar or just a smooth exit, we’ll create a strategy that fits your situation.

On average, homes in Los Angeles can go under contract in 30 to 60 days, but timing depends on several factors—your home’s location, condition, price, and the time of year. In a hot market, well-priced homes in desirable neighborhoods can receive offers in just a few days. In a slower market or for unique properties, it may take a bit longer.

The good news is, you have some control over the timeline. Strategic pricing, thoughtful presentation, and strong marketing can dramatically speed up the process. My job is to make sure your home gets the right exposure to the right buyers, so we don’t just sell quickly—we sell smart. Whether you’re looking to move fast or have more flexibility, we’ll tailor the approach to fit your goals.

When selling a home in Los Angeles, the biggest cost is typically agent commissions, which are usually around 5% to 6% of the final sale price, split between the buyer’s and seller’s agents. In addition to that, you’ll want to budget for escrow and title fees, transfer taxes, and possibly repairs or staging to prepare the home for market. Some sellers also offer credits to buyers during negotiations, depending on the terms of the deal.

While it might sound like a lot, many of these costs are deducted from your proceeds at closing—so you’re not paying them out of pocket up front. I’ll walk you through every fee ahead of time so there are no surprises, and we’ll work to position your home for the best possible return. The goal is to sell with confidence and keep more of your equity in your pocket.

While staging isn’t required, it can make a big difference—especially in a visually driven market like Los Angeles. A well-staged home helps buyers imagine themselves living in the space. It highlights your home’s best features, makes rooms feel larger and more inviting, and often leads to stronger offers in less time. Even light staging, like decluttering and rearranging furniture, can improve first impressions.

That said, not every home needs full professional staging. Depending on your timeline, budget, and property style, we can tailor the approach—whether it’s simple touch-ups, virtual staging, or a full design refresh. I’ll guide you on what’s worth doing (and what’s not) to help your home stand out and sell for top dollar.

Once you accept an offer, your home goes into escrow, which is the period when inspections, disclosures, appraisals, and final paperwork take place. The buyer will typically schedule a home inspection within the first week, and depending on the findings, they may request repairs or credits. Meanwhile, their lender will order an appraisal to confirm the value of the home.

As the seller, you’ll complete required disclosure forms and work with the escrow company to gather documents for closing. If all goes smoothly, escrow usually lasts around 30 days, though it can be shorter or longer depending on the agreement. Don’t worry—I’ll walk you through every step, stay in close communication with all parties, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks so we get to the finish line with confidence.

Open houses and private showings are key ways to get buyers in the door—and both can be tailored to fit your comfort level and schedule. Open houses are typically held on weekends and allow multiple potential buyers to tour your home casually, without appointments. They create energy and exposure, especially when your home first hits the market.

Private showings, on the other hand, are scheduled visits with interested buyers—often more serious prospects—accompanied by their agents. I coordinate all showings for you and give as much notice as possible so you can plan ahead. We’ll discuss the best days and times, make sure your home is showing-ready, and set clear expectations to keep things smooth and low-stress. The goal is to maximize interest while making the process as easy and respectful as possible for you.
