CA DRE #02447380 · Keller Williams Realty Antelope Valley
We had the house picked out. We passed on it.
Every time we sat down to work out how the move would actually happen, it stopped making sense — sell first and go where? We were sure we’d spend months in an apartment with everything we owned in storage. Nobody explained it to us. So we let it go, and it sold to someone else.
Almost none of what stopped us was true. There are ordinary ways to hold two closings together, and ways to stay in your home after it sells. They were available to us the whole time. It just takes someone willing to run the numbers and write them down — and nobody had.
Before this I provided In-Home Supportive Services for people with disabilities, and a foster home for children who arrived with nothing. That is not a real estate credential and I won’t dress it up as one. It is where I learned what being handed something that matters requires: be exact, be on time, write it down — every time, whether or not anyone is checking.
So the work I do now is the work I wanted done for me.
Why me
What makes me different
- Full-time, and only move-ups
- This is not a second job. I work one kind of transaction, full-time: a household selling one home and buying the next, both sides running through me on one schedule. A listing on its own is a different job, and I refer it to someone who wants it.
- A written analysis before anything is listed
- Every client receives one page before the home goes on the market: net proceeds at three realistic prices, the real monthly difference, what the assessed value resets to, and what a gap between closings costs per day. The assumptions are printed beside the figures so they can be checked rather than taken on faith.
- Two closings, one calendar
- A sale and a purchase are usually run by two people who never speak to each other. I sequence them as a single move and price the gap between them before either side is committed.
- Buy-before-you-sell, arranged at no cost
- Bridge and buy-before-you-sell programs are open to my clients through Keller Williams at no added cost from me. I do not lend and I do not own them — I assess whether one actually fits, explain what it really costs, and coordinate it. Approval and terms are the lender’s.
- Fully bilingual — nothing lost
- Every number, every clause and every document explained in English or en español, whichever the client would rather think in. Nobody signs a document they had to nod along to.
- An answer either way, in writing
- When the arithmetic favours keeping the rate and staying put, that is what the analysis says, and it is delivered in writing at no cost. A plan that cannot arrive at “stay” is a listing presentation, not a plan.
My promise
My commitments to you
- I will run your real numbers before you sign a listing agreement, not after it.
- I will print the assumptions behind every figure, so you can check the arithmetic instead of trusting me.
- I will tell you the truth, including when the truth is that this is not your year.
- I will put the sequence in writing — which side moves first, and what covers you if it slips.
- I will act in your interest, never mine, and say so out loud when the two differ.
- I will explain every document in the language you are most comfortable in, so you never sign anything you do not fully understand.
- I will update you in writing every week through both closings, whether or not there is news.
- I will return every call, text and message the same day.
- I will name what would make this the wrong decision, in writing, before you commit to it.
- I will never lock you into a long-term contract. I earn your business every day I work for you.
My mission
To make the move-up an ordinary decision instead of a daunting one. The home that gets passed on is almost never lost to money — it is lost to a sequence nobody would write down. Every owner on this corridor should be able to see the whole move, both sides of it, on paper, before anyone asks them for a signature.
How it works
The move-up process
- A fifteen-minute call — what you own, what you still owe on it, and where you are trying to go
- The Move-Up Read: your figures on one page, with the recommendation on top
- The sequence decided together and put in writing — sell first, buy first, close concurrently, or stay
- Listing preparation and pricing: what to repair, what to leave, and what comparable sales actually support
- Professional photography, and the listing reviewed with you line by line before it goes live
- Live on the MLS and syndicated — Zillow, Realtor.com and beyond
- The search for your next home running in parallel, not after the sale closes
- Every buyer pre-qualified; every offer negotiated to fit the sequence, not only the price
- Both escrows on one calendar — rent-back, extended escrow or a bridge if the gap needs it
Getting you sold
My marketing plan of action
- Professional photography, and a listing written to be read on a phone
- Full MLS listing and syndication to Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com and thousands more
- “Just Listed” campaign across social media and my database
- “Just Listed” postcards to the surrounding blocks
- Targeted social and internet marketing to qualified buyers
- Bilingual outreach, including WhatsApp
- Direct outreach to local buyer’s agents
- Open house upon your request
- Weekly written updates through both closings
And the half a listing plan never covers
- The search for your next home running alongside the sale
- Every offer written to fit the sequence we agreed
- Both escrows on one calendar, with one person answerable for it
The four ways to sequence a move-up, and what each one costs, are in the Move-Up Plan.
Risk, reversed
My no-risk listing program
No-Handcuff Agreement
Cancel any time, because if I need a contract to keep you I have already failed. Unhappy with my service? Say so and we part as friends. One ordinary exception, stated rather than buried: if a buyer I produced is why your home sells, that sale is still mine.
Savvy Seller Program
You find your own buyer — a neighbour, a relative, someone from work — I coordinate the entire transaction and you pay just 3%.
Performance-Based Compensation
What a buyer’s agent is paid is your decision, in writing, and never automatic.
- 6%
- Another agent brings the buyer. What their side is offered is your call — I recommend 3%.
- 4%
- I find the buyer myself. You save two points.
- 3%
- You find your own buyer and I run the whole transaction.
Let’s plan your move — both sides of it.
