I earned my real estate license in July of 1978. Since then I’ve sold homes through double-digit interest rates, booms, busts, and everything in between — over 1,200 closed transactions, all with one company, Park Regency Realty. So when I tell you today’s market has its own personality, that comes from having seen every other kind of market firsthand.
Today we are seeing a world of changes, challenges, and distractions in our industry. Political and financial uncertainty makes buyers cautious and sellers anxious. My job is to keep our wits about us: handle the problems as they arise, keep you informed, and make recommendations that are in your best interest — not mine.
What hasn’t changed in 48 years: homes that are priced right and presented honestly still sell. One of my longtime clients once insisted on listing above my recommendation. Zero activity. When we adjusted to the price my experience dictated, we went from silence to more showings than they could imagine — and into escrow within two weeks. Pricing isn’t about hope; it’s about reading the neighborhood, and I’ve been reading Granada Hills, Northridge, and the north Valley since before most agents were licensed.
If you’re considering selling your home or investment property this year, start with a free, no-obligation evaluation. I’ll tell you what it’s worth, what’s worth fixing, and what isn’t — and then it’s your decision. My word is my bond on that.
