OVERVIEW
CLOSED $2,052,500 · October 6, 2026 · Represented the Buyer
I represented first-time buyers who purchased this single-story half-acre home with a pool in the lower hills of Tarzana for $2,052,500, about $734 per square foot. It closed on October 6, 2026.
What they were looking for
These buyers chose to look outside the city to get the most square footage and a quiet, family-friendly street with good schools. Tarzana delivered all of it.
They also approached the purchase thoughtfully. They sold stock investments to fund the home, treating it as moving from one investment to another that they can physically enjoy.
How the deal came together
We had a smooth escrow. I referred vendors for inspections and helped with the due diligence, and we had many calls to talk through disclosures, findings, and renegotiation. That work paid off: I secured credits and a reduction in price for my buyers.
About the home
A single-story home on a flat, half-acre lot in the lower hills of Tarzana, just south of Ventura Blvd. It has three bedrooms plus an office or den, three bathrooms, hardwood floors, and bay windows. The family room has high ceilings and a fireplace, and the dining room has French doors to the backyard. The kitchen has a center island, Carrara marble countertops, custom cabinetry, and professional-grade appliances. The primary suite opens to the backyard, which has a pool, a raised spa, a patio, a lawn, and mature trees around the perimeter for privacy. There’s also a laundry room, a covered front porch, a circular driveway, and an attached two-car garage.

Looking to buy more space for your family?
Sometimes the right move is outside the neighborhood you started in. I help buyers weigh space, schools, and budget, and negotiate hard once they find the home. If you’re thinking about buying in the Valley or on the Westside, let’s talk.
