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.

Forget the cosmetic flip. This Lakewood cul-de-sac home was systematically upgraded, system by system, by a Construction Inspector who held his own property to the same standard he enforces every day on the job. The result is a fully modernized infrastructure package most buyers never think to ask about, until they're stuck paying for it later. Start below the surface: a full PEX re-pipe throughout, a comprehensive grounding upgrade, and a new 200-amp electrical panel relocated to the garage, all permitted. That 2019 panel upgrade also routed power and fiber-optic lines underground from the garage to the house, clearing every overhead wire from the backyard in the process. The sewer main was replaced with new ABS pipe and a new cleanout was added. An owned 5.04kW Enphase solar system (NEM 2.0, transfers to buyer) pairs with a 2019 high-efficiency Bryant HVAC system, newly engineered ductwork, and 14" of blown-in attic insulation, just serviced and certified via a 26-point tune-up. This isn't paint and staging. It's a top-to-bottom performance rebuild, permitted every step of the way. Then there's the permitted primary suite addition: a true retreat with a walk-in closet, dual-vanity bath, and private wine/coffee bar. The kitchen features solid quartz counters, tiled backsplash, an LG appliance suite, a pot filler, and an iSpring reverse osmosis filtration system, all set against beautifully refinished original hardwood floors. Outside, the fully finished detached garage is Title 24 insulated, climate-controlled with its own HVAC, wired with an EV charging station, and finished with an epoxy flake floor, a rare, forward-thinking feature today's buyers are actively searching for. The private corner lot is fully fenced with a courtyard setting, smart exterior lighting, and layout flexibility for a future ADU or JADU. The roof carries a 5-year certified warranty through 2031, and termite clearance is current. Every permit, warranty, and inspection report behind this work is on file and available for review, no surprises, just documented proof. This home has already answered the questions most buyers don't know to ask, a level of preparation that's genuinely rare to find in one property. Schedule your private showing today.
