Selling your home is one of the most important financial transactions of your life. You'll want to work together with a professional who understands the process and can give you peace of mind by taking on the "heavy lifting" of the paperwork, negotiation, and marketing. That leaves you free to concentrate on getting your family moved and starting this new chapter in your life.
If you are in the market for a home in South Pasadena, California these days then you know it's a 'seller's market'. This means that the moment a home is offered for sale there is a feeding frenzy of rabid buyers clamoring to get a look, evaluate the price and make an offer. For the lucky few, that effort pays off in a home purchase.
There are a number of automated home value indicators and tools currently available online. Using a general algorithm, they spit out a general number or range for you based on statistical data. These automated tools often give you wildly different or ranging values depending on their methodology. 4. Reconcile all that information with current market trends and send you an email with our home value estimate.
Nestled in the West San Gabriel Valley, the South Pasadena Unified School District (SPUSD) has been in existence since 1886. It consists of five schools: three elementary schools, a middle school, and a high school. SPUSD has a total enrollment of approximately 4,800 students and employs scores of exemplary teachers who are members of the Teachers Association of South Pasadena.
I recently had the pleasure of working together with some buyers relocating to South Pasadena. They fell in love with our "small town" community and recognized that the schools would be ideal for their children. Although the marketplace can be difficult for buyers at the moment, my client's diligence in searching for a home paid.

It was great working with Derek. I was in a tough spot and needed to find a place quickly. He made sure I had quality places to view and helped me find a great place to call home.

Working with Derek, you learn very quickly that he's experienced, strategic, and knowledgeable about the highly competitive LA market. But what really sets him apart is that he authentically cares and understands the significance of your pursuit (whether it's a dream, an aspiration, or just an open concept kitchen). Derek brings his unique calm, considered (but also enthusiastic!) approach to what's potentially a very stressful, frenetic endeavor, and you just know you're going to succeed.

Derek is a real gem. He helped me find my perfect new home - and I had some pretty specific requirements for my work. He was patient, responsive and completely on it through the whole process. Even when things got challenging he always picked up the phone and sorted things out. It's so important to have someone with integrity on your side! One of a kind. Thank you so much!
