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.

Step into your forever home in Lake Balboa, a gated property filled with natural light, featuring skylights, a waterfall quartz island, and a vaulted primary suite. A remote operated black iron gate opens to a wide driveway for about three vehicles. A brick herringbone porch welcomes you inside. The open concept layout has updated flooring in the living areas and bedrooms, recessed lighting throughout, and central air conditioning. The kitchen is made for entertaining, with a gas cooktop, island hood vent, farmhouse sink, shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and a walk in pantry. The primary suite features a fireplace, two closets, and a bathroom with a new dual vanity and a skylight over the shower. The second bathroom is fully renovated and features a walk in shower with a sleek, fixed single glass panel. The laundry area has cabinets above and below. The washer and dryer are included. The converted garage adds flexible space with flooring, recessed lighting, and central air, and the original garage door remains (unpermitted conversion, not included in the stated living SqFt). Outside, lush St. Augustine lawns enhance both the front and backyard, while ficus hedges with drip irrigation complement the front landscaping. A guava tree grows in front and a growing avocado tree in back, and a paver patio sits off the living room. Roughly a mile from Lake Balboa Park, with Louise Park and neighborhood cafes even closer, this move in ready home delivers style, comfort, and value in the heart of Lake Balboa.
