The holidays are here!

So the question is: Is now a good time to buy a home? According to our historical data from the past few years, the answer is YES!

The holidays are obviously a time to rejoice, but they are also a time of great opportunity. Historically, we have seen an uptick in our business during the last six weeks of the year. Many people take time off from their housing search over the holidays and take their eyes off the proverbial ball, which is why we keep at it - because there is still almost 10% of the year left. A new coat is a great gift, but what about a new house?

In this video, not only do Brad & Josh show off their stellar dance moves, they also unpack the advantages of house hunting during the holidays and the recent dip in mortgage rates.

We're ready to help you have a joyous December, so keep your eye on the prize, and as Brad says, “Make your next move your BEST move!”

And keep scrolling for our newest listing in Eagle Rock - a phenomenal investment / development opportunity.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

"Brad and the Keyes team helped us find our midcentury dream home at a price we didn’t think was possible in Northeast LA. After some failed attempts working with other realtors, we had written off LA as too competitive. However, meeting Brad and the Keyes team through a referral was like winning the lottery. It was immediately evident that the team was a cut above the rest in terms of professionalism, industry knowledge, and negotiating skills.

As a real estate lawyer and serial home builder, Brad brought a unique edge to the home search process. Unlike other realtors we had worked with, he openly pinpointed structural issues in homes, as well as issues in documentation (e.g., inaccurate advertised square footage). His wealth of knowledge around the nuances of the L.A. market helped us quickly hone in on viable homes.

Brad and team were punctual, organized, and well connected with other contractors. The aggressive timelines in our initial bid made us stand out amongst other offers. Once in closing, the Keyes team coordinated the completion of 7 different inspections within 2 days! Brad thoroughly reviewed each report before aggressively negotiating. We ultimately closed 5% lower than our initial offer. During the process, Brad was available and responsive at all hours of the week. We closed within 2 months of starting to search for homes with Brad.

Perhaps what I most appreciated about Brad was his honesty. We worked with other realtors who shared similar “tastes” but did not provide a robust strategy towards closing that was tailored to my wife and I’s needs. This was crucial to ensuring that we did not make unwanted concessions in our final decision.

We are so grateful to Brad and team, and cannot recommend them enough to other potential home buyers. Thank you for working so hard for us!"
