#KeriTV - Getting “REAL” about real estate

I'm happy to announce another successful closing! While all closings tend to be difficult in one way or another, this deal, in particular, was extremely competitive. With multiple offers on the table, we had to resort to tried and tested negotiating tactics to get the winning offer. As mentioned in previous episodes, the Los Angeles real estate market is more competitive than ever with inventory so low and the amount of homebuyers high. That is why choosing an experienced realtor is more important than ever. Luckily for me and my clients, we were able to win the deal on this #Venice, CA home. Take a look inside this beautiful Venice home we fought so hard to close!

Millennials are officially the nation’s largest generation. #Millennials have officially surpassed Baby Boomers as the nation’s largest living adult generation according to estimations from the U.S. Census Bureau. With these types of numbers, they have officially taken over the real estate market. Millennials not only have strength in numbers, but they also have strength in spending power. Millennials are currently aged roughly between 25 and 40 meaning they are in their prime homebuying years. They are also the most educated generation ever and creating lots of wealth. In terms of purchasing, millennials are currently making up 38% of the first-time homebuyer market. From every angle you look, millennials are taking over the real estate market. Watch this week’s episode of #KeriTV to learn all about the millennial generation and how they are impacting the real estate market!

It is always a good day when a deal gets finalized. It is even better when a deal gets finalized in the beautiful city of Redondo Beach, CA. For those unfamiliar with the Redondo area, #RedondoBeach is a coastal city in the South Bay region of the Greater #LosAngeles area. It is one of three adjacent beach cities along the southern portion of Santa Monica Bay and is truly a great place to live. Redondo has it all from good schools to restaurants, coffee shops, and parks. My clients could not have picked a better place to live, and I couldn’t be happier for them! @jeffsun @nansenses

Marina Del Rey is a community of 39,000 people on the West Side of #LosAngeles that is best known as the host to one of the world's largest man-made small craft harbors. The community is in close proximity to Venice, Playa Vista, and Westchester which I previously mentioned is one of Los Angeles' hottest new markets. Now available on 113 Fleet St., is an amazing five level townhome. Words can't express how beautiful this #townhome is. From stunning rooftop sunsets to vaulted ceilings flooding with natural light, this townhome truly represents the best of #MarinaDelRey beach living. Walk with me on this detailed property tour of 113 Fleet Street in Marina Del Rey, California! @craigkizek Thank you @primemediastudio for helping me produce this fun video!

Not only do I love providing a behind-the-scenes look into my real estate deals, but I also love sharing my personal life moments with you as well.

With so much focus on the amenities that a home can provide for us, the needs of other members of the family often get ignored. Those members I'm specifically referring to our pets. Pets are a huge part of many people's lives and yet we often ignore the needs of our pets. It is important to pet-proof your home so that they can live in a safe and happy place. From your kitchen to your living room, there are many ways you can pet-proof your home. Watch this week's full episode of #KeriTV to learn the many ways you can pet-proof your home!

Selling your home can be difficult. What happens if nobody wants it? Will buyers meet me at my asking price? These are questions home sellers often ask themselves before listing. While home selling is different in every situation, there are certain actions you can take to make your home wanted which can lead to receiving multiple offers. For this Culver City #home, we received an astounding 15 offers and provided over 90 showings. What actions did we take to make this home so popular and receive multiple offers?

The real estate market is extremely unpredictable. There are so many factors that may affect the real estate market from the motivation of sellers to presidential elections; real estate transactions can be tremendously unpredictable.

As a home buyer or seller, you may come across a situation where you are involved in a multiple offer setting. So, what exactly happens when multiple home offers are submitted? As a realtor, I am involved in many multiple offer situations. I was recently involved in a multiple offer for a luxury condo in Century City. Four days after listing, we had received nine offers on the property. How are multiple offers handled? How is the winner selected? Watch this podcast of #KeriTV to find out!

The #LosAngeles real estate market is more competitive than ever. This is in part due to low inventory. Properties in Los Angeles are going quickly and usually over the asking price. If you're a buyer, you may be asking yourself...how can you compete? Luckily, there is a new trade-in program that is shaking up the real estate industry and can provide the competitive advantage you may need to purchase the new home you desire. If you are a buyer that is relying on selling your old home to purchase a new home, you no longer have to wait to sell it to buy your new home.

2020 taught us a lot about the Los Angeles housing market. To start off with the good, interest rates continued to decline last year and are still in decline as of today. To provide some perspective, interest rates were 3.7% in January 2020 and are currently 2.7% in January 2021. Remember that a low interest rate environment is great for homeowners because it reduces your monthly mortgage payment. The not so good is that Los Angeles is currently in a housing crisis. What does this mean? It means there are more people than available housing. Watch this week’s full episode of #KeriTV to learn more about the current Los Angeles housing crisis!

We just completed another closing amidst the coronavirus pandemic in Los Angeles. This time, the transaction took place in the booming Jefferson Park area near University of Southern California (USC). The home is actually located in a HPOZ which is a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone. HPOZs are designed to keep the area's historical culture. After some back and forth, we managed to get a price reduction of $870,000 plus a credit in a highly competitive market which is quite the feat. At a time when home demand is increasing and supply is declining in Los Angeles, it is safe to say these buyers managed to get quite the baragin. Watch this week's full episode of #KeriTV to learn how we managed to get these clients an amazing deal and take an inside look of this beautiful #LosAngeles home in #JeffersonPark!

The #quarantine lockdown has changed the way the real estate market conducts business. From virtual tours to electronic offers, Californians have had to quickly adapt to the stay-at-home quarantine mandate as a result of COVID-19. But with recent talks of a “new normal”, there is no telling when things will go back to the way things were pre-coronavirus if in fact they ever do. The following methods and practices are the type of things we are currently doing to make sure we are adhering to state and county guidelines during quarantine. For buyers, face-to-face consultations have changed to video consultations via Zoom, Google Chat, Facebook, or whatever your preferred video meeting software is. For sellers, virtual tours have replaced physical in-person open houses. To learn more on how you can buy and sell properties during quarantine, watch this week’s full episode of #KeriTV!
