““Keziah and Bart made the process so, so much smoother and easier—and even fun. We’ve worked with them for the past seven months, and throughout the entirety of that time they have been in constant contact. I think what I value most about them, though, is their advocacy for my family and me. I never for a moment doubted they had our best interests at heart.”

Questions Every Ventura County Home Buyer Asks
Why should I use a local agent instead of just searching online?
Online platforms show you listings, but they can’t tell you about the school boundary that cuts through a neighborhood, the planned development that will block your ocean view, or which areas flood during heavy rains. We’ve lived here for years and know the stories behind every listing.
How do I know if a real estate agent really knows Ventura County?
Check out our youtube channel (@livinginventuracountybalboa). You’ll learn the nitty gritty details on Ventura County neighborhoods. 200+ videos, and we also have a whole big bunch of happy clients who left 5 star reviews…..and if you would like we can even put you in touch with past clients so they can share their experience with you.
What’s the biggest mistake people make when moving to Ventura County?
Choosing location based on price alone. A $100k savings doesn’t matter if you’re miserable with your 2-hour commute or can’t afford the lifestyle you want. We help you understand the real cost of living in each area before you buy.
Will I overpay without insider knowledge?
Absolutely. We’ve seen buyers pay way over over market value because they didn’t know about pending developments, HOA issues, neighborhood issues and not getting a super detailed inspection. Our local expertise has saved our clients thousands…. including to sales where our clients got reductions up to over $100,000 off the list price.
How competitive is the Ventura County market?
It varies dramatically by area and season. We track micro-market trends in real-time and know exactly which neighborhoods are seeing bidding wars vs. which have been sitting for months.
Can I trust Zillow’s home valuations in Ventura County?
Zillow’s estimates can be off by $100k+ in our market. They don’t factor in pending sales we know about or recent neighborhood changes that affect value. We provide accurate valuations based on actual comparable sales and current market conditions.
