Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I work with a local real estate broker in Los Angeles?
Hyper-local knowledge gives a buyer or seller an edge. Home values can vary greatly within any neighborhood, and a local broker will have insights others may not. Another advantage is that the top broker in an area will have more access to off-market properties, presenting opportunities for buyers who are having trouble finding what they want on the market. For a seller, a local broker will have insights into buyer activity and marketing trends, and access to a highly motivated pool of buyers. We help clients compare communities and evaluate properties based on their goals. This localized guidance supports more informed buying and selling decisions.
Which Los Angeles neighborhoods does Keyes Real Estate serve?
We assist clients throughout all of Los Angeles and its surrounding communities, including Palm Springs, Costa Mesa, Irvine, Santa Clarita, & more. With over 1,000 transactions and 17 years of experience, Keyes Real Estate has a proven track record in Los Angeles neighborhoods & beyond. Buyers and sellers can discuss their preferred neighborhood, property type, and budget during a consultation.
How competitive is the Los Angeles housing market?
Competition in Los Angeles varies by neighborhood, price range, property condition, and current inventory. We have well-established methods to get homes sold, including marketing campaigns, concierge services, and well-oiled execution to every listing. A good home, when prepared & priced correctly, moves fast. For Buyers, our thorough and sophisticated understanding of not only the market, but also the Residential Purchase Agreement, gives our buyers leverage and protection, even in challenging markets.
Can a broker help me choose the right Los Angeles neighborhood?
A broker can help you compare neighborhoods based on housing preferences, commute considerations, amenities, and budget. Our brokerage is run by native Angelenos who have spent their professional lives working in Real Estate. We go deeper than how a neighborhood looks on paper and pride ourselves on being thoughtful real estate advisors above all else.
What should I prepare before buying a home in Los Angeles?
The most important first step after making the decision to purchase a home is to determine a budget. Whether a buyer will be purchasing in cash or obtaining financing, budget is the most influential factor in a Buyer’s search. We advise on the entire process, starting with finding the right financing. Lenders are not “one size fits all,” and every Buyer is different. Properly navigating the financing process sets a Buyer up for success and could significantly impact their bottom line. Hiring a broker with a robust understanding of mortgage financing is one of the best decisions a Buyer can make.
How does Keyes Real Estate help Los Angeles home sellers?
We have vast experience in selling across asset classes, home type, area and markets. Every property presents unique attributes and requires a tailored marking plan. The “special sauce” is our ability to identify how to best postion a property. We take responsbility for the whole process; from pricing strategy to paint choices, staging styles, and landscaping. Our preparation, paired with professional pictures, videos, social media, and print marketing has built a track record of professional an enormously successful representation.
How is a Los Angeles home’s listing price determined?
A listing price is the most important piece of marketing for a home. To figure out the correct listing price, a broker must ultimately know the potential value of a home. Depending on a Seller’s motivation and goals, we will prepare multiple listing strategies and work with the Seller to make sure we are implementing the correct one. The listing price on a home is significantly more complex than just using comparable sales and price per square foot.
Should I complete a home inspection when buying in Los Angeles?
Except in very rare cases, the physical diligence (home inspection process) is one of the most important things a Buyer should do. We have a team of trusted specialists who inspect every property our Buyers purchase. Beyond the inspection process, a Buyer should hire a broker who has a robust understanding of a home’s systems, construction, permitting, and maintenance. A broker who can speak from experience, communicate, and act as a liaison between inspectors and Buyers is an incredible asset in a real estate transaction.

We are not just a real estate brokerage; we are also investors, developers, and property managers.
