Celebrating 10 years: fixed fees, full service, fast responses

Property search · The Consumer Protection Brokerage

Every listing shows your estimated rebate.

The green number on each home is what could come back to you: the buyer-broker fee (typically 2 to 3%) minus our flat $9,750. No other search shows you this, because no other brokerage gives it back.

Situated across two lots, this exceptional property also presents remarkable development potential, with the possibility to build up to four homes (buyer to verify with the city). Whether you're seeking a private residence, multi-generational compound, income-producing opportunity, or future development project, this property offers a truly rare combination of lifestyle, flexibility, and investment potential. More than just a home, this is a rare canvas for elevated living, creativity, and lasting value in one of South Pasadena's most desirable neighborhoods.
