But first, why should you sell now? In research developed by the California Association of Realtors in September of 2017. This Fall 2017 the California housing market has "increas(ed) 1.7 percent from last year".
What does this mean? Well, this means that in Southern California alone "the median price of a single-family home increased 8.7 percent from a year ago to $530,110 and sales decreased by 2.5 percent from last year". This means your home is high in demand and with odds like these, even our beloved Simpson's Family would consider selling their home if they lived in Southern California in today's Market.
So, you want to upgrade to a larger home or you want to downsize, let our team help you in realizing your full potential.

Team RemoTheRealtor hosted an outstanding Open House for our listing in Friendly Hills, Whittier CA. Hosting our Mega Open House with Prime Lending gave us the opportunity to raffle off a mini ipad. Prime Lending door knocked nearly 100 homes in the area and Team RemoTheRealtor set out 100+ Open House Signs! This in combination with our social media opportunity gave us a 130 person turn out.
