Seller's Agent in Beverly Hills

What a seller's agent does for you

A seller's agent represents one person in the deal, and that is you. We push for the highest price and the cleanest terms buyers will actually agree to. Then we keep the sale on track through the weeks between an accepted offer and a recorded deed.

We keep our team small on purpose. You get one main contact who knows the property, your schedule and why you are selling. If an inspection turns something up or the appraisal comes in short, the news comes from someone who already knows the whole picture.

Some sellers would rather skip a full market sale. For them, we also buy houses for cash. We will tell you straight which path suits you, even when that path pays us less.

What's included when we sell for you

A pricing plan built on real sales

We pull recent closed sales that actually match your property in size, lot, condition and street. You see the comparables we used and why. No inflated number just to win your signature.

Prep advice that pays for itself

We walk the property and tell you which fixes buyers will pay for and which ones they will ignore. Sometimes the right answer is to sell it as-is. We will not push work that does not move the price.

Photos, marketing and buyer traffic

We arrange professional photos and a written description, then get the property in front of agents and buyers who are ready to act. We set up visits and screen who comes through.

Offer review and negotiation

We lay every offer side by side: price, deposit, contingencies, loan type and closing date. Then we negotiate the terms that matter to you, not just the top line.

California disclosures, handled

We help you complete the state seller disclosure forms and the natural hazard report on time. Getting these right early is one of the best ways to keep a buyer from backing out later.

Escrow follow-through

We track inspection and appraisal deadlines, answer repair requests and stay in touch with escrow and title until the sale records.

Signs you need a seller's agent

• You want top dollar

  When you have some time and the property is in good shape, selling on the open market usually brings the most money. That is the biggest reason to go this way instead of a cash sale.

• The price is hard to pin down

  Odd-shaped lots, large additions or very few nearby sales make pricing a guessing game. Miss the mark in the first couple of weeks and it costs you.

• You can't manage the sale yourself

  A busy job, family needs or living far away can make juggling buyers, inspectors and escrow a lot. We field those calls for you.

• Selling on your own stalled

  Maybe the phone went quiet, or buyers kept raising the same tough questions. A new look at the price and someone negotiating for you can restart things.

• You want one person responsible

  Some sellers have been handed off once the agreement was signed and don't want that again. Here, the agent you first meet stays until the sale is done.

How a sale with us runs

1. 1

   First call and valuation

   You tell us about the property and your timeline. We give you a confidential valuation and an honest read on whether to sell with an agent or take a cash offer.

2. 2

   Walkthrough and plan

   We meet at our office, by video or at the property. You get a written plan covering price, prep, timing and expected selling costs.

3. 3

   On the market

   Photos go up, buyers come through and we report back on every visit and every piece of feedback. If the price needs to change, we say so early.

4. 4

   Offers and escrow

   We negotiate the best offer, then manage inspections, appraisal and repair requests. You choose the closing date that works for your move, within what the buyer's loan allows.

5. 5

   Closing day

   We confirm the final numbers with escrow before you sign. The same agent who took your first call sees the keys handed over.

What goes into the cost of selling

An agent-led sale has two main costs: our commission and the usual closing charges every seller pays. Before you sign anything, we write out each expected cost. That way the net figure you see on day one stays close to the figure on your closing statement.

Commission terms

Commission is negotiable. It depends on the property and how much work the sale takes. We spell out what you pay and what it buys you.

Prep and repairs

Paint, yard work or small fixes before buyers see the place cost money up front. We only recommend the ones likely to come back to you in the price.

Escrow, title and transfer taxes

Escrow and title charges get settled at closing, along with the county transfer tax and any city transfer tax that applies. Each of these goes up as the sale price goes up.

Buyer credits

A buyer's inspection can turn up items that lead to a repair credit. Thorough disclosures early on tend to keep those requests small.

Time on the market

Mortgage payments, property taxes and utilities keep adding up until the sale closes. Pricing it right from the first week is the simplest way to limit them.
