Most expensive home to sell this week in Studio City

Original asking price: $4,750,000
Sold price: $4,250,000
.
After being on the market for only 25 days, the owner of this #StudioCity home decided to accept a offer that was $500,000 below asking price.
.
Do you think the owner was too quick to accept such a low offer... or should the owner have kept the home on the market a little longer in hopes of getting more money?
.
Comment "accept" or "wait".

3 years' search for this Glendale home

The buyers of this #Glendale home had been searching for a property for 3 years.
.
Their agent put in several offers on their behalf, but they could not get the job done.
.
My past client and friend referred them over to me. The buyers came by my office in the morning for my "Buyer Orientation" meeting.
.
This is where I take them through the entire purchase process, from beginning to end. 
.
In the afternoon I showed them 3 properties. They fell in love with one and immediately decided to put in an offer. 
.
After a little negotiating with the seller, my clients got the home for $1,075,000. The sellers original asking price was $1,250,000.
.
3 years of searching with another agent... and in 1 day I found them their home.
.
I hate to toot my own horn... but... TOOT TOOT!

Best equestrian property to sell this week in #Burbank

Here is my favorite equestrian property to sell this week in #Burbank

I have an upcoming open house, what should I do with all my clutter?

Clutter kills deals. Remember that when you are preparing your home for sale.

To have a clean home for your open house, fill your car up with all of your clutter

Clutter in your home will have buyers thinking that the home has no storage areas and is ultimately to small for them.
.
Let's avoid that!
.
Just before your open house, take all of your junk that is laying around your house and throw it in your car.
.
Yes, your car will be a disaster for a few hours... but who cares, your trying to sell the most expensive thing you own, your house!
.
Oh... and this is free to do...

This is why this Van Nuys home never sold

Does this picture make you fall in love with the house?

Personally, it served as a good reminder for me to take out my trash.

Keep your utilities on until all of your home buyers contingencies are removed

The buyers general inspector needs all the utilities on in order to do a full inspection.
-
If anything is off, the inspector will have to come back out to the property at a later date.
-
This is a waste of time for everyone!

Episode 5 of The #AskDanielLosAngeles Show

In this episode of The #AskDanielLosAngeles Show, I answer the following questions:

-In order to make my move to Texas possible, I need to get at least $800,000 for my home. All the agents I talked to said my home is only worth $750,000. What should I do?

-I have a un-permitted guest house in my backyard. Can I still sell my property with that structure?

-How can a buyer back out of a real estate deal once we are in escrow?

-We moved everything out of our house and are finally ready to sell. Can we turn off all of the utilities?

Thank you for your attention.
