Home Inventory on the rise in Hollyglen

By Keith KyleEl Segundo homes for sale

It’s been a while since we’ve seen more than just one or two single family homes for sale in the neighborhood of Hollyglen which may start to ease some of the pent up demand in this somewhat secret neighborhood. Although it has a Hawthorne mailing address, this great neighborhood is an unincorporated area and enjoys it’s own award winning school system known as the Wiseburn District. Hollyglen sits just north of Rosecrans and just west of the 405 freeway and has remained somewhat of an unknown jewel in South Bay real estate. I has the feel of Torrance neighborhoods of West Torrance and Southwood, with tree lined streets, schools within walking distance, and offer a very safe and social neighborhood feel. As of April 2, 2014 there are 7 single family homes for sale in Hollyglen, with 3 new construction in the 360 South Bay community, 2 additional homes in Del Aire (but west of the 405 so in somewhat similar neighborhood) priced from $544,000 (Del Aire) to $890,000 for a 4 bedroom new construction in 360. Prices for a 3/2 single family built in the 1950s, which most are, generally range lately between $640,000 and $690,000

Termite Fumigation in El Segundo

So What Is the Termite Inspection Process During and Escrow

As many of my clients are first time home buyers, the process of the termite inspection and termite/wood destroying pest repair process is often a bit confusing.  Unlike any traditional repair requests that come up during the escrow process, the termite inspection and repairs are generally agreed upon prior to acceptance and are therefore contractual and non-negotiable during escrow.

During the offer there are two times the inspection and work can be mentioned.  The Residential Purchase Agreement specifies whether an inspection will be performed and who will pay for it.  Another document called the WPA or wood destroying pest addendum can also be included in the offer and goes into greater detail explaining what will be inspected, who will pay for it, and if there is any work needed per the inspection, who pays for the work.  Most often sellers agree to pay for both the inspection and, what’s known as, section 1 recommendations.  This often includes wood repair, spot treatment and sometimes fumigation (tenting).  Every negotiation is different and some will not agree to pay for an inspection or the work.  Regardless I advise my sellers to have an inspection even if they are paying for it themselves as simply put…it makes a big unknown more understood and decisions can then be based on the results.  There are a number of challenges and problems that can be caused by the termite uncertainty and I’ve listed several here.2013-12-03 13.55.42

How We Sell Homes in El Segundo – What Makes Us Different

El Segundo is a unique and specialized area, and takes a realtor that understands the intricacies of the market and how to effectively prepare, Listing Agents in El Segundopresent and market a home to reach the target buyer and obtain the highest possible price with the least amount of inconvenience and stress to the seller. This is accomplished through deep knowledge and understanding of market conditions, price trends and through extensive communication with potential buyers, the vast South Bay real estate network and with the home seller.

For me, all homes require a luxury marketing strategy through the use of professional photography, staging consultations, high-end media and a vast understanding of current technology in order to reach the largest possible network of buyers. The difference between a great realtor and others can mean the difference between tens of thousands of dollars, time on the market and added stress during the escrow process.

Accurate Property Evaluations

The two most important factors before putting your home on the market are pricing and preparing the home for sale. In the small town world of real estate in El Segundo, pricing is not as simple as listing the home slightly higher than the last sale. No two homes are the same, and factors such as age, views, specific location, upgrades and others made an incredible difference. When working with Keith Kyle, you are getting far more than one real estate professional. South Bay Brokers agents work as a team to determine the most accurate price for your property. Using up to date statistical reports as well as evaluation from every agent on the South Bay Brokers, we can accurately determine the ideal list price for your home or investment property.

Staging and Home Preparation

Buyers and realtors are fickle, and sellers have one shot to immediately capture the interest of the market. Pricing and home prep go handOcean Views in hand and are critical in capturing the momentum that comes with being a new listing. First impressions are everything and we are experts in preparing homes for the market. From cosmetic updates, to partial remodeling, to staging, we help guide our clients though the process with our vast knowledge of the market and what buyers are looking for. We spend endless hours showing homes and hearing the comments buyers make and can help tap into this insight to help prepare your home.

Presentation and Photography

Perhaps the most disappointing element of how realtors often market homes, even in a higher end market like El Segundo, is how little effort goes into presenting the home. Whether realtors are often lazy or don’t want to incur the expense, the single biggest marketing tool we have to present to buyers, photographs of the home, are often taken with pocket cameras or even phones. We believe that every home deserves to be shown in the very best light and with so many home buyers searching online, photography is a critical element. We use professional photographers to help make homes look spectacular. If the saying is a picture is worth a thousand words isn’t it critical that those word put the home in the very best light? We use these photographs as the very background of our marketing strategy and beyond just the impression they make on the MLS, we use them for buyer mailers and postcards, professionally designed flyers and print media, advertising and so much more.

On-Line Advertising and Marketing

With 85% of buyers starting their home search online, it’s critical that your home not only reach this potential buyers, but capture their interest immediately. All of our listings are extensively marketed to all online channels, real estate portals, social media and more to maximize interest and help obtain the highest possible sales price. Keith Kyle is an online marketing specialist and an e-Pro and lists property for sale in many on-line sources including:

Visual Tours and Online Videos

Great photographs may not be enough these days for today’s savvy home buyers. We incorporate both a visual tour and video walkthrough for all of our listings to all buyers to get a more realistic sense of the home, how it flows, and where rooms and spaces are in relation to one another. It is our goal to have every potential buyer “need” to see the home in person and through virtual tours and narrated video walkthroughs we can reach an even greater audience.  We also post videos of our El Segundo homes for sale on YouTube.
