What it takes to sell well in Santa Monica

Single-family medians run well past $3.5 million while the citywide figure sits closer to $1.6 to $1.95 million. At these prices, a percentage commission can cost a seller six figures, which is exactly where a flat fee changes the math.

Considering a traditional commission-based agent?
Ask these five questions before you sign a 3% listing agreement
What exactly am I getting for 3%?
Do you pay for inspections and deep cleaning before the home goes on the market?
Do you include drone photography, Matterport / 3D tours, and floor-plan-style buyer tools?
Will you show me how your percentage fee nets me more than Arrivva's fixed-fee full service?
Will you agree not to also represent the buyer?
“I was skeptical when I hired Arrivva to sell my house, even though they came highly recommended. It just seemed too good to be true. They would do all the work, are incredibly competent, and charged significantly less than everyone else, but they delivered. This amazing tag team was on it, great communication, driven to not only sell the house but get us the best possible deal they could.”
