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.

Welcome to this extensively renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in Lake Balboa, where quality craftsmanship, timeless design, and modern functionality come together in a truly move-in-ready property. The redesigned open-concept floor plan centers on a striking chefs kitchen that flows seamlessly into the main living area, creating an inviting setting for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, an expansive peninsula, premium Bertazzoni Italian appliances, a skylight, and a spacious butlers pantry with custom storage, a dry bar, and a dedicated laundry area. The adjoining living room is highlighted by a custom floor-to-ceiling entertainment center with built-in cabinetry, crown molding, and a warm, inviting fireplace. New flooring throughout, beautifully renovated primary and guest bathrooms, and custom closet systems further enhance the homes cohesive design and everyday functionality. Designed for quintessential California indoor-outdoor living, the backyard is an entertainers retreat. An expanded Trex composite deck leads to a custom outdoor kitchen equipped with built-in cabinetry, stainless steel storage, generous countertop space, a barbecue grill, and a cooktop. An outdoor fireplace and gazebo provide the perfect setting for dining, relaxing, and gathering with family and friends. Professionally landscaped grounds, mature plantings, new fencing, and an expansive raised-bed vegetable and culinary herb garden with dedicated irrigation create a private outdoor sanctuary suited equally well for entertaining and daily enjoyment. The extensive upgrades continue behind the scenes. Additional improvements include a fully paid Tesla solar system, new copper plumbing throughout, a new main sewer line, a tankless water heater, Nest Smart Thermostat, Vivint Smart Home Security System, new garage roof ventilation and exhaust fan, a dedicated irrigation water meter, new rain gutters, and numerous other capital improvements designed to provide greater efficiency, long-term value, and peace of mind.
