🏚️ YOUR HOME DOESN’T HAVE TO BE MARKET-READY TO SELL.

Not every property belongs on the open market, and not every seller wants to go through the traditional process of repairs, cleaning, staging, showings and open houses.

Sometimes a home is inherited. Sometimes it’s part of a trust or probate. It may have years of deferred maintenance, be full of belongings, have tenants, need major repairs, or simply not be ready for the market.

That’s okay.

LeighAmber and I work with various verified real estate investors actively looking for fixer-upper opportunities throughout Ventura County — in our cities and unincorporated areas.

Our goal is different: we don’t want our clients to have only one investor and one offer to consider.

When the property and circumstances are appropriate, we can present the opportunity to several verified investors and work to bring our client multiple offers and different scenarios to consider.

You choose the option that works best for you.

🏠 Small or older home
🔨 Major repairs or deferred maintenance
📦 Property full of belongings
🌱 Overgrown or neglected property
⚖️ Probate or trust sale
🔑 Inherited property
📉 Potential short sale
🏚️ Or simply a home you don’t want to prepare for the open market

No judgment. No need to fix it up first.

And if, after looking at the property and your circumstances, we believe selling it on the open market would put you in a better position, we’ll tell you that too.

Our job is to help you understand your options and create the best possible scenario for your particular situation.

🏡 If you’re newer to real estate, you may be asking: “What the heck is a short sale?”

Believe it or not, there are probably quite a few people in the real estate business today who have never handled one—or maybe have never even seen one. They’ve been pretty rare for more than a decade.

And no… a short sale does NOT involve REALTORS® who are shorter than average. 😂

A short sale happens when a property is sold for less than what is owed against it and the lender agrees to accept the transaction.

For those of us who lived through the last short-sale era, we remember them VERY well. 😅

Now the numbers are starting to move again in California. We’re nowhere near 2008 levels, but the increase is significant enough that real estate professionals, homeowners and buyers should understand what they are—and why they may become more common.

I dug into the latest numbers, including something many people overlook: reverse mortgages can also create short-sale situations.

👇 Check out my latest article. The numbers might surprise you.
