Unique C ha There Is Something Special About Your Home.
Unique charcteristics differentiate a home from the rest, such as an interesting architectural style, a great view, a large yard or maybe a value-add opportunity. These unique characteristics offer value and specific benefits to a discerning buyer who will buy a property because it fits their lifestyle and needs. In order for your property to be competitive in the fierce California real estate market, it must stand out. Cookie-cutter marketing isn't our style. Californian Estates marketing capitalizes on what makes your home stand out and positions it in the right market. Identifying and showcasing a home's unique qualities in engaging marketing is key to attracting the right buyer profile and closing a sale with a strong sales price.

As Development Specialists, we evaluate homes differently
The average age of a home in Los Angeles dates from 1952 and in every corner of the City, we can see development, revival and renewal.
property for development is key and inventory is often low. If a developer can still make his/her margin, they are willing to pay a premium for good real estate product.
Older homes are getting "face-lifts." Under-utilized multifamily buildings are being torn down in favor of larger, denser apartment living to help address the housing crisis. Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) are being built on residential properties to allow homeowners to earn more income. Luxury homes are being built to satisfy more discriminating tastes, making Los Angeles a world-class real estate destination.
As a homeowner, your property may have "hidden value." At Californian Estates, we think like developers and evaluate a value-add home accordingly. Our goal is to get sellers top dollar for their home. Therefore, we look beyond neighborhood comps and consider a development pro-forma that factors in build costs and an anticipated exit strategy based on market analysis.
The Los Angeles market is dynamic and developers understand that there is a lot of money to be made by identifying the best locations and building the right kind of property to suit the market. However, finding the best
The value of a home may be more relative to the profits that can be made from developing it and we try to get sellers a higher sales price so that they can also benefit.

Premier Locations For Luxury Homes Los Angeles has no shortage of A+ neighborhoods and high-end home buyers are always looking for show-stopping homes with the newest and most modern amenities. These areas are the hottest for development.
Up & Coming Neighborhoods Riding the wave of gentrification and urban sprawl, more and more areas of Los Angeles are becoming attractive neighborhoods for homebuyers Many developers love these neighborhoods because they see the market potential and the need for more modernization.
Small Houses on Big Lots Many coveted neighborhoods have older homes built in a much older style which often includes smaller interior rooms and a smaller footprint with more yard space. Many buyers prefer more spacious homes with open floor plans. Older, smaller homes on larger lots are prime for development.
Great Views Get Premium Pricing The beautifully rolling hills of Los Angeles offers many opportunities to build stunning homes that capture the city, canyon, valley and/or ocean views. These homes attract buyers who want trophy homes and have the relative budget. Luxury developers will always gravitate towards property with views.
Private L
List in gs
Specializing in coveted off-market properties, we can market your property exclusively and discreetly The savvy investor or competitive homebuyer wants to be the first to buy a property before it’s on the MLS. Developers almost exclusively want privatelytraded property. This is why 10% of the agents do 90% of the sales. Successful agents collaborate and exchange information on highly desirable off-market properties to better serve their clients.
BE COMPETITIVE & PRICE THE PROPERTY RIGHT To sell your home for the most money and in the least amount of time, we have to price it “in the market.”
WHEN PRICING A PROPERTY THERE ARE A FEW TRUTHS: •
• • • • •
The value of your property is determined by what a buyer is willing to pay and a seller is willing to accept in today’s market. Buyers make their pricing decision based on comparing your property to other properties SOLD in your area. Pricing your property competitively will generate the most activity from agents and buyers. Pricing it too high may cause the marketing to miss the initial "sweet spot" during the sales process when the most attention is focused on the property. Eventually, a drop in the price below market value may be necessary to compete with new, well-priced listings. Historically, your first offer is usually your best. This is all ESPECIALLY true when you are selling on the MLS with a "Days on Market" clock, memorializing every listing date, each day that passes and each price change.
IF YOU WANT TO COMPETE, BE COMPETITIVE • • • • • •
The buying market has a short attention span. Pricing your home right the first time is key Proper pricing attracts buyers A property generates the most interest when it hits the market. We want to generate offers before the market moves on to newer listings. Starting too high and dropping the price later misses the excitement and fails to generate strong activity.
• • • •
The number of showings is greatest if it is priced at a realistic market value. Many homes that start high end up selling below market value. An overpriced house will not sell We want to generate offers before the market moves on to newer listings.
Te s t i n g You r P ri ce The pressure to hit the MLS (the "on-market strategy") is high and it is critical to not price too high and miss the oppotunity when the algorithms are focused on new properties. Yet, sellers don't want to leave any money on the table. Therefore, if you are going to go to the MLS, wouldn't a wise homeowner do so with knowledge on their side so that their pricing strategy is less of a gamble? Californian Estates has a unique ability to sell a property privately, (also known as "off-market") to test the pricing with buyers who are anxious to hedge the competition and prefer to buy properties that haven't been widely publicized. A Private Listing strategy means that there is no Days on Market clock and there is no record of the property ever being listed. Therefore, there is little gamble with starting at a higher price and more upside if it sells. With sophisticated marketing and large databases of clients and agents, Californian Estates can generate interest in a property. With showings, feedback and even, hopefully, offers, the market will "speak to us" and tell us what the market will truly bear. If the next step is an MLS strategy, the seller is starting the Days on Market clock truly informed and ready for prime time.

Jump from floor to floor or room to room. VR allows a buyer to fully experience a home before seeing it! This means that sellers are inconvenienced minimally and showings are done with only serious homebuyers!
It's Just Like You Are There! Follow the directional circles on the floor to "walk" through the house. Blue icons open up to provide information on selling points, ammenities or specialized fixtures.
Experience The Home's Flow & Spatial Context Spin the "dollhouse" model around with 360° control to view all the floors, rooms, stairways, entries, exits and open spaces. Wondering if your furniture will fit somewhere? Measure any floor space for accuracy.
