Buying, selling, and investing in LA.
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.

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? Watch this episode of #KeriTV to find out!

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 Los Angeles real estate market is experiencing massive growth and beginning to hit pre-covid numbers. On the Westside alone, we just had our largest number of new listings hit the market for single family homes with a total of 43 new listings and 39 new condo listings. The number of properties currently in escrow has also increased more than it has in the past three months totaling 21 properties. It is safe to say, the #LosAngeles real estate market is alive and well despite the pandemic. #California as a whole is also experiencing unprecedented growth in showing activity going up 56% in comparison to July of 2019.

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!

Buying or selling a home can be stressful - add in a global pandemic, and you’ve reached a whole new level of stress. From stay-at-home orders to virtual home tours and inspections, real estate transactions are not what they were just a few short months ago.

There is no denying the #coronviruspandemic took a toll on the real estate market. By mid February, buyers and sellers began to pull back as the uncertainty of the coronavirus began to make headlines. Fast forward two months and you see that predictions of a slow down (but not a crash) are coming into fruition. While sellers are taking a step back from the market, we are seeing there is no slow down in what buyers are doing. ShowingTime is the real estate industry's leading showing management and market stats technology provider. ShowingTime stats for March 9th reveal showings went down by 70%. Two weeks ago, the showings were only down 27%. The #realestatemarket is definitely picking up proving amid quarantine there is still an ability to buy and sell.

This closing was unique in many ways. This beautiful home located in Sherman Oaks, CA is one of the famous "Birdhouse" homes designed by William Mellenthin. We opened escrow for this home on the day the stock market crashed amidst the news of closures all across the nation due to the coronavirus pandemic. From appraisal renegotiation to loans not being approved, my client and I experienced every possible hiccup in the attempt to purchase this home. But despite all the stress and roller coaster ride, the deal was officially closed. Watch this week's full episode of #KeriTV to learn how closings can still happen amidst the #coronavirus pandemic!

With everything going on, many of you may be wondering whether we are heading towards another Great Recession as we experienced in 2008. While indeed a recession seems very imminent, things are a bit different today compared to the 2008 crash in regards to the housing market. While many people are speculating what will happen to the housing market, I did some research to compare what is happening today as to what happened in 2008. For starters, the housing inventory available today in 2020 is much different compared to the inventory that was available in 2008. As of today, in Los Angeles, we are sitting at 1-3 months’ supply of inventory available for home buyers. During the 2008 recession, we had a 13 months’ supply. As you can tell, things are much different today as opposed to the 2008 housing market crash in terms of inventory.

If recent real estate trends have taught us anything, it’s that even amongst pandemic, real estate is STILL essential. Yes, inventory is tight. Yes, there is a fairly high buyer demand, BUT, the Los Angeles real estate market IS moving. Homes are being bought and sold with new listings each week, and we're also seeing less homes being taken off the market overall for both single-family homes and condos. Where will the real estate market take us in quarter 2 and 3? Tune into today’s full episode of #KeriTV for a full market report and expert predictions.

The recent coronavirus pandemic has given birth to tons of fake news. From rumors, to social media, the spread of misinformation has been as rampant as never before. It is now more important than ever for individuals to stay well informed on factual information especially on topics that can have a very big impact on people’s lives. One of these topics is the latest eviction ban and rent/mortgage forgiveness laws. Many individuals are receiving false information in regards to this topic, so I am here to provide the truth about the latest California ordinance. To start, the eviction ban states landlords must not evict residential tenants who are unable to pay rent because of loss of income from work, childcare costs related to school closures, healthcare costs, or “reasonable expenditures” related to COVID-19. In terms of actual rent/mortgage payments, you will still have to pay those, even if not at the moment.

As quarantine goes on, the financial hardships continue to mount. Fortunately, congress just passed the CARES Act into law which will provide some relief to small businesses that are in desperate need at the moment. Under the new CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security) Act, businesses may be eligible to apply for two separate loans. One of these loans is 100% forgivable if it’s used for its intended purpose, and the other loan includes a $10,000 component that is intended to be forgivable in full as well! These loan programs are intended for small businesses with less than 500 employees. The first loan program available under the CARES Act is the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). This loan is intended to cover short term payroll obligations and other approved expenses. The second loan program is the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL). This loan advance will provide up to $10,000 of economic relief to small businesses that are experiencing temporary difficulties due to the coronavirus pandemic. Watch this week's full episode of #KeriTV to learn more about the CARES Act and #PPP and #EIDL loan programs.

Finding and maintaining a work-life balance is the key to staying sane while under quarantine. For me that means having dedicated “working hours” as well as dedicated “entertainment hours.” Which leads me to the question… What's everyone doing to keep entertained? Movies are high on the entertainment list for a lot of us, but, with so many movies to choose from, how do you decide? In this episode of the #KeriTV Quarantine Diaries I’m diving into some of my top 5 favorite movies in two different genres. Some of which just might surprise you.
This past weekend, residential real estate sales were added to the list of essential services from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. The California Association of Realtors announced Saturday, March 28, that commercial and residential real estate services were now part of the essential business services list. While this is definitely great news for the California real estate market, the coronavirus outbreak continues to negatively impact the market. Recent data shows listings are detrimentally being impacted in the Los Angeles area with the ongoing coronavirus news.

It is now officially week two of the coronavirus #quarantine here in Los Angeles, CA. Despite the fact many businesses and markets have been shut down, the real estate market continues to move. Things such as virtual tours and the Matterport 3D walking tours have allowed buyers and sellers to continue to buy and sell while practicing safe distancing procedures and following local regulations. As of today, prices are still pretty strong but expect to see a dip in the coming days due to the ongoing #coronavirus news. If you are a buyer trying to get a deal, the coming weeks would be a great time to make it happen. Sellers will be ready to unload and as a buyer, you should be ready to buy.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) has officially been declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). What was once a virus that was only affecting individuals in China has now become a global crisis. As the coronavirus continues to spread across the world, the fear and panic is beginning to affect several industries including the real estate market. Global events impact the real estate market and the latest coronavirus pandemic is no different. Just how much is the coronavirus affecting the real estate market? As of today, not much. While the coronavirus will surely impact the real estate market, the effect will most likely be small and brief. Mansion Global has reported that approximately 20% of home buyers are indeed holding off from any real estate transactions due to the coronavirus news, but the remaining 80% are still moving forward and have not been affected with their purchase decisions. Amidst the coronavirus chaos, the #realestate market is still moving. Watch this week’s full episode of KeriTV to learn how the #coronavirus is impacting the real estate market!

Structuring your offer to purchase a home can be quite complex. While everybody loves a bargain, trying to lowball the seller can actually backfire and cause you to eventually lose the deal on a home you really wanted. With the recent closing of 12329 Gorham in Brentwood, we structured the offer in such a way that the seller would be enticed, and the result was the winning offer. The West Side real estate market in Los Angeles is very competitive. As soon as we submitted an offer for the client, overnight another offer came in. Nonetheless, due to the fact we structured our offer really well, we managed to close the deal. Watch this week’s full episode of KeriTV as Tony Barsocchini and me, provide insight on how to structure your offer when buying a home.

For those unaware, California is currently experiencing a major housing crisis. California’s severe housing shortage is driving up rents, which as a result is leaving many lower to middle-income families struggling to stay in neighborhoods they once could afford. For the 7th year in a row, more people left California than moved in and expect the same for the year 2020. Unfortunately, the crisis will only continue to get worse for the foreseeable future.

When you combine both events and you must sell your home while going through a divorce, it can be an overwhelming and difficult experience. While nothing can make such a difficult process enjoyable, there are a few things you can do to make it easier. A divorce usually results because two individuals don’t see eye to eye.

Due to the evolution of the internet and social media, there are many myths out there as to the buying and selling of your home. While there is a lot of great information now available thanks to the internet, there is also a lot of false information making its way to readers. One big myth floating around is that you do not need to hire a real estate professional when buying or selling your home. While it is true that by not hiring an agent you save the commission that would be paid to them, in the end you actually LOSE more money by not hiring one. There are many things a great real estate agent knows and can achieve that the inexperienced buyer or seller does not know or simply can’t do. Check out this week’s full episode of KeriTV to learn why hiring a great real estate agent can actually help you save or get you more money than by doing things all on your own.

For those of you familiar with the Los Angeles real estate market, we all know Santa Monica is not the most affordable place to live. As a matter of fact, it is among the most expensive areas in Los Angeles. So when I received a referral who was looking for a 3 bedroom home or 2 bedroom 2 bath loft in Santa Monica for under one million dollars, I thought it would take quite some time (if ever) to find such a deal. So when a property to their preference actually became available, it was an unexpected surprise but I knew we had to jump on that property despite the buyers not being fully ready to make the purchase. Find out the full story of how these buyers were able to receive such a bargain in Santa Monica and why it is important to be in the right frame of mind when you are looking to purchase a home on this week’s episode of KeriTV!

I have been lucky to have been a part of many deals in my 15 year real estate career. Yet one of the top three most challenging deals of my career happened just a few weeks ago. Dealing with a sale contingency is difficult enough, but having to deal with TWO seller contingencies in one single transaction was quite the mission. For those unfamiliar with seller contingencies, a home sale contingency is one type of possibility clause included in a real estate deal contract. With a home sale contingency in place, the transaction is dependent/contingent upon the sale of the buyer’s home. If the buyer’s house sells by the specified date, the deal moves forward but if it doesn’t sell by the specified date…the contract is terminated. Find out the details of one of the most challenging deals of my career and why it’s important to work with someone who is experienced with seller contingencies on this week’s episode of #KeriTV!

For those that don’t know, mortgage pre-approval is basically a promise from a lender that you're qualified to borrow up to a certain amount of money at a specific interest rate, subject to a property appraisal among other requirements. If you are looking to purchase a property, getting pre-approved is one of the best steps you can take to make a worthy offer for the home you are seeking. In Los Angeles, many sellers will only take offers seriously from individuals who are pre-approved due to the nature of the real estate market in Los Angeles County. Many individuals hold many false narratives regarding the pre-approval process, but we are here to break some of those on this week’s episode of KeriTV. In this week’s episode, I will also be talking about fast track lending and why it is extremely beneficial to have your fast track mortgage ready to show sellers you are a buyer who is ready to do business!

Home ownership is one of the best ways to build wealth. According to the US Census Bureau, the median net worth of homeowners is 80 times larger than renters. There is no better example of this than the recent family I worked with that recently purchased a home in the Westchester area of Los Angeles. Not only did this family move into their dream home, but they also managed to make over 300% return on initial investment all while experiencing two recessions. If this isn’t an example of how to build wealth, then I don’t know what is. So how did this couple manage to do this?

Real estate transactions are not easy. During a real estate transaction, there are many forces that can work against you to prevent the deal from getting done and one of those forces is time. In terms of pace, escrow is like a sprint and not a marathon. Escrow moves fast and the faster you move, the sooner the deal gets done. In order to beat time during escrow, you must be focused and follow the timelines as well as work with good people. Watch this week’s full episode of #KeriTV to learn what you can do to defeat time during escrow and get to the finish line by the scheduled date.

2019 was an amazing year. It was my wedding year and also a very fulfilling year for my professional career. To be able to top off the year in the Maldives for my honeymoon is something I will never forget. During my time in the Maldives I had an opportunity to recharge and reflect. One of the important things I realized on my honeymoon is the importance of letting yourself be present. I know, I know, easier said than done, right? WRONG! It CAN be done! It all starts with taking care of your clients and tying up loose ends before you hit vacay mode. We work ourselves into the ground 24/7 all year long that letting yourself detach and relax is not only refreshing, but a necessity. It allows us to recharge and come back to our work life with newfound energy, excitement, and ideas. Take a sneak peek look at my Honeymoon trip and reflections I discovered during my unforgettable travels. To learn more about me and view my listings, connect with me on social!!

As 2019 comes to a close, it brings on a time to reflect on all the things that were experienced and accomplished throughout the year. One of the highlights of my year was having the opportunity to help 40 families either buy, sell, or rent properties in 2019. Real estate is not only my career, but also my passion and nothing brings me more joy than helping individuals find a place they call home. As part of my resolution for 2020, next year I would like to help serve 50 different families and continue to try and be a positive influence in the real estate community.

Getting your home show ready can make a big difference when selling your home. Putting in the proper time and effort into home staging and nailing the pre-listing presentation can make all the difference during escrow and even your wallet. For this townhouse that we sold in Sherman Oaks, we were able to get more money than other similar properties in the same complex. While other properties were selling for $630,000 and $620,000 we were able to sell for $659,000 for this home seller. Watch to see how you can get more money when selling your home with a pre-listing presentation on this week’s episode of KeriTV.

I was recently referred to international buyers from Amsterdam who wanted to relocate to Los Angeles for a job transfer. They would be in town for only four days to look at properties and were hoping to find something they could move in to by the end of the four days. The buyers had a couple of requirements such as price point, area, walkability, and they wanted a condo. With such a big task in front of us and with only a few days to achieve it, we got to work as soon as they arrived and started to look at properties in the West Hollywood and Beverly Hills areas. With no luck in those areas, we eventually found the perfect condo in Studio City. Watch to see the full episode of this crunch time condo search and how we found the condo they were looking for!

Trust is important in any relationship, so why should the relationship between you and your real estate agent be any different? Buying/selling a home is a life-changing event so the person representing you and your property should be someone you absolutely trust. Why is trust so important between you and your real estate agent? Because there are many things that happen unbeknownst to the buyer/seller during a transaction that the agent must act upon. Big decisions need to be made so it is best you are being advised by an agent you trust and not someone that is there to simply get the job done. Watch this week’s full episode of #KeriTV to learn why you must choose a real estate agent you absolutely trust!
