Ventura & Los Angeles County Real Estate — Trusted guidance for buyers relocating from out of the area
Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions most people ever make. Many worry about overpaying, underselling, or making a mistake they’ll regret later.
Most of our clients find us through our YouTube channel while researching their move. They choose us because we’re honest about both the pros and the cons, helping them make clear, confident decisions.
What gives our clients a true advantage is Keziah’s background as a licensed residential real estate appraiser. She helps our clients understand true market value and what’s happening in the market right now — giving them a meaningful competitive advantage when buying or selling.
We use our cumulative experience, appraiser insight, and strategic approach to help our clients negotiate to win while protecting their financial interests.
We help our clients:
• Avoid overpaying or underselling by understanding true market value
• Negotiate strategically to protect our clients’ bottom line and secure the best possible outcome
• Move quickly and compete effectively in competitive situations
• Make confident decisions with clear, honest guidance
“They consistently went above and beyond… always available to answer questions, manage anxieties,
and give excellent advice. We felt truly listened to.”
“We never doubted they had our best interests at heart… It’s been a pleasure to work with people who
are genuinely good human beings you can trust.”
“Over nine months they kept us updated from the very beginning to closing day. If you’re moving from
out of state, Bart & Keziah are your go-to team.”
“They made an almost impossible long-distance purchase not only possible, but beyond excellent. We simply could not have done this without them.”
We’re Proud to be Trusted Advisors — Not Just Salespeople
Our goal is to help you learn it like a local — the lifestyle, the micro climates, the feel of each neighborhood, and the honest pros and cons you won’t find on Zillow.
Whether it’s uncovering off-market opportunities or providing accurate market-value analysis, we’re here to make sure you feel informed, supported, and confident from start to finish.
Here’s what sets us apart:
- Honest guidance: We point out the cons, not just the pros — our clients love this.
- Strong negotiation: Protecting your price, terms, and bottom line.
- Licensed appraiser insight: Understanding true market value — beyond photos, listing prices, and online estimates.
- Local expertise: 200+ neighborhood videos and deep Ventura County insight.
- Trusted availability: Accessible 7 days a week, even late when needed.

““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.”
