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.

Immediate Exposure to 1000’s of Brokers and Agents

Your property is immediately posted to the multiple listing services of the South Bay MLS and Multi Regional MLS giving you instant access to 1000’s of agents and their extensive client databases.

Print Media

Digs-Home-of-The-WeekAlthough we focus much of our advertising on the broader Southern California, national and even internationalbuyers through our intensive online advertising strategies, it’s also vitally important to reach the more localized buyers through our various print advertising and mailers. We reach these local buyers through various methods including The Beach Reporter, Daily Breeze, an DIGS magazine with professionally designed full color advertising. In addition we target and reach and even more localized audience with various just listed and just sold mailers as well as full color flyers and email flyers.

Fusion South Bay – Affordable Alternative to El Segundo

Fusion South Bay TownhomesFusion townhomes

Hollyglen, Hawthorne in the Wiseburn School District 

Fusion South Bay is a small gated community adjacent to Manhattan Beach just east of Aviation.  The homes were built from 2005-2007 and is technically located in the neighborhood of Hawthorne known as Hollyglen.  It is a unique area due to it’s location just east of Manhattan and El Segundo and offers it’s own award winning school system knows as Wiseburn.  The community features 2 and 3 bedroom townhome style condominiums and the community features some nice open space areas as well as pool and spa.

Fusion is a fantastic alternative for buyers looking in the nearby cities of Redondo Beach, El Segundo and Manhattan Beach.  Due simply to the zip code, Fusion offers much newer, nicer and larger home options for a much lower price.

Fusion townhomesWhen we were at the peak of the market the townhomes in the Fusion complex drew a great deal of interest for many couples and singles priced out of the nearby Beach Cities. Fusion is technically on 149th Street in Hawthorne, but is just off Aviation Blvd  and directly across the street from Manhattan Beach. As the  market cooled so did the prices in Fusion and we saw smaller 2 bedroom townhomes selling below  $400,000 which was hard to believe.  The market has picked back up and prices are somewhat stable but the inventory of homes in Fusion continues to defy the norm and goes from no homes and high demand to multiple homes with less buyer interest all in short periods of time.

The homes are just a few years old and are a great option for those looking to live near the beach. Some of the benefits are:

  • Location – just a short drive to the beach with nearby freeway access  and a short drive to LAX
  • Newer Construction – Some of the homes feature granite kitchen counters, stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors and many additional features
  • Options – the units have a number of floorplans, configurations and sizes to choose from.
