ServicesSeller's Agent
Seller's Agent in San Fernando
If you want the open market to compete for your property, we represent you from the first walkthrough to the closing papers. We price it honestly, recommend only the prep that pays, handle every offer and send photos of what we found and what we did.
When a seller's agent is the right call
A seller's agent works for one person: you. Our job is to get the strongest price and terms the market will give, while keeping the paperwork, deadlines and negotiations off your plate.
This route makes sense when you have a few weeks to work with and the property can appeal to a wide pool of buyers. If speed matters more than squeezing out the last dollar, our We Buy Houses for Cash page explains the other path. Many sellers ask us to price out both before deciding.
We keep you informed with pictures, not just phone updates. After the walkthrough you get a set showing what buyers will notice, what we recommend fixing and what we suggest leaving alone.
What our seller representation includes
A pricing walkthrough you can see
We tour the property in person, photograph the rooms, roof line, yard and systems, then compare it to recent nearby sales. You get the images with our notes, so the reasoning behind the price is right in front of you.
A short, honest prep list
We separate the fixes that pay for themselves from the ones that don't. Often that means paint, cleaning and small repairs, not a remodel. If you would rather sell as-is, we price it that way and say so plainly.
Marketing buyers actually see
Polished pictures, a clear written description and a plan for buyer tours that fits your schedule. If you still live there, we work around your days.
California disclosures, done carefully
We walk you through the seller disclosure forms and natural hazard reports so nothing is left vague. Clear disclosures protect you after closing.
Weighing offers and countering
Every offer gets compared on the same page: the price, how the buyer is paying, which contingencies they want and when they hope to close. We counter for you and explain what each choice trades away before you commit.
Escrow follow-through
From inspection requests to appraisal to final walkthrough, we track every deadline. Any repair work finished during escrow gets before-and-after pictures, so you keep a record.
Signs a full market sale with an agent fits you
You have some time
A month or more before you need to move gives the market room to compete for the property.
The property shows reasonably well
It doesn't need to be perfect. If buyers using a regular loan could qualify for it, the open market usually pays more.
You want the highest price, not the fastest exit
When every dollar of equity matters, competing offers are usually how you get there.
You'd like someone else handling the back-and-forth
Counteroffers, inspection requests and escrow deadlines pile up quickly. We take those calls and bring you clear choices.
You aren't sure what it's worth
Online estimates can be far off for older or recently updated properties. A walkthrough and real comparable sales settle the question.
How a sale with us runs
- 1
A first call
Start by sharing what the property is like, when you need to move and the amount you'd like to walk away with. Together we weigh a market sale against a cash offer.
- 2
Walkthrough and valuation
We visit, photograph what we find and send you a valuation with the comparable sales behind it. Notes on each image explain what helps the price and what hurts it.
- 3
Prep and launch
We agree on a short prep list and a price. Once any work is done, we take a second round of pictures so you can see the before and after, and the property goes to market.
- 4
Offers and escrow
We present every offer, negotiate terms and keep escrow on schedule. You hear from us at each milestone, and you choose the closing date that works with your move.
What affects the cost of selling with an agent
Our commission is agreed in writing before anything goes to market, and it is negotiable. Beyond our fee, sellers usually pay for escrow, title and transfer taxes, plus any prep work they choose. We go over the expected costs with you up front so the number you net is not a surprise.
- Price point and scope
- The value of the property and how much marketing it needs both shape the fee we propose.
- Prep work you choose
- Paint, cleaning and repairs cost money. We only recommend what the walkthrough and comparable sales show will earn it back.
- Repair requests in escrow
- Buyers often ask for credits after their inspection. Honest disclosures and a fair starting price keep those requests smaller.
- Closing costs and taxes
- Escrow, title and county transfer taxes are part of nearly every sale. We estimate them for you before you commit.
Questions sellers ask us
Something not covered here? (818) 276-9533
How is your commission decided?
We discuss it on the phone and put it in writing before we start marketing. It depends on the property and how much work the sale involves. You will know the agreed amount and how it comes out of your proceeds before you sign.
Do I have to make repairs before selling?
No. Some fixes earn back more than they cost, and we will point those out. If you prefer to sell as-is, we price it accordingly and tell buyers up front.
What will the pictures show me?
The first set comes from the walkthrough, with notes on each room and system. If you do any prep, we capture the finished work, and we document repairs completed during escrow. By closing you have a clear visual record of the whole sale.
Can I compare this with a cash offer first?
Yes, and we encourage it. Our Guarantee cash offer program lets us put a cash number next to an estimated market price. That way you can compare what you would net and how long each route would take.
Can I keep living there while it's on the market?
Most of our sellers do. We schedule buyer tours around your routine and give you notice before every visit.
Do you work outside San Fernando?
Yes. We also help sellers in nearby areas such as Burbank, Glendale and Santa Clarita. Our Service Areas page lists more.
