Selling your home

Selling in Long Beach or LA? Start with what it's worth.

What’s your home worth?

Type your address. I’ll check the recent sales near you and the house itself, then send you a range with my reasons.

It’s free, and every address gets a look from me or Slava.

How I sell a home, with Slava.

A price we can explain

I look at the closest comparable sales, the homes a buyer could choose instead of yours today, and the house itself. You see what supports the range, and where it's uncertain.

A launch that fits the house

Before it goes live we decide what's worth fixing and what isn't, then Slava films and photographs it. The MLS, his audience and Explore's buyer alerts take it from there.

Every offer, side by side

Price is one part of an offer. I go through every one with Slava, the loan, the contingencies and the dates, and we tell you which one we'd take and why.

“Joe is an extremely knowledgeable real estate professional. I have used him for for both the sale and purchase of 3 different properties. I have recommended him to numerous friends and family members with much success. He uses his unique skills to not only get you the best price but most importantly close the deal on time.”

Selling questions.

I start with the closest recent sales and how each one compares with your house: the layout, the condition, the lot, parking and the exact street. Then I look at what a buyer could choose instead of yours today. A renovated house one street over can tell us little about one that needs work, so I explain each comparison instead of averaging a few prices.

My guide to how a valuation works

It's free. It's my analysis as a broker, a range with the reasons behind it, not a licensed appraisal and not a promise of the final price. If your buyer takes out a loan, their lender will order its own appraisal later.

Call me before you start a list. Fix what a buyer or an inspector will flag, like leaks, broken systems or safety items. Paint and a deep clean usually earn their cost back; a new kitchen rarely does right before a sale. For every project I'll tell you what it solves.

My guide to getting a house ready to sell

The table above shows how long the homes for sale in each city have been listed today. Price and condition move that number more than anything else. Once you accept an offer, escrow usually closes in about 30 days.

It goes on the MLS, which puts it in front of every agent and the big home sites. Slava films it for his TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, and the day it lists, Explore emails it to every buyer whose saved search fits.

Price is one part. The buyer's loan, how much they put down, the contingencies and the dates matter as much. I lay the offers side by side with Slava and tell you which one we'd take and why.
