A behind-the-scenes look at how preparation, pricing, marketing, open houses, negotiation, and trusted relationships helped Brittain and Lisa sell 708 Garnet Street in Redondo Beach.

How the Relationship Started

We first met Brittain and Lisa at an open house in Palos Verdes the year before they sold. At the time, they were exploring the idea of staying in the South Bay, upgrading their home, and potentially moving into Palos Verdes.

As life evolved, their plans changed. Instead of buying locally, they decided to sell their Redondo Beach home and move closer to family in Oregon. Because we had already built trust through conversations, follow-up, market guidance, and a genuine relationship, Scherb Homes Group became the natural partner when it was time to sell.

Cliff’s Notes Take

The best listing relationships often begin long before someone is ready to sell. Brittain and Lisa met us through an open house, a conversation, and consistent follow-up. By the time their plans changed, the relationship was already there.

The Seller Strategy: Fair Market Value, Strong Process, Low Stress

Brittain and Lisa did not have to sell. They chose to sell because they wanted to be closer to family and begin a new chapter in Oregon. That meant the strategy had to respect both sides of the equation: achieve a strong sale in Redondo Beach while coordinating the timing and logistics of their move.

The Sellers’ Goals

Sell at a fair and strong market value.
Avoid unnecessary stress or rushed decision-making.
Maintain control and confidence throughout the process.
Find the right buyer for a home they had loved for years.
Coordinate the sale with their Oregon purchase and relocation.

Our Strategy

Prepare the home without over-improving it.
Use strategic pricing around the $1.6M buyer band.
Create a phased launch: private network, Coming Soon, MLS, open houses.
Market the property through photography, drone, print, social, and agent outreach.
Negotiate with a focus on net proceeds, terms, and certainty of closing.

How We Prepared the Home for Market

Not every home needs full staging or major renovations to sell well. In this case, the home already showed beautifully. Our job was to help the sellers make smart, selective improvements that enhanced first impressions without wasting money.

Design Review

Cliff and Kimberly brought a design-focused eye to the home, identifying simple presentation improvements, accessory edits, and small styling opportunities.

Low-Cost Improvements

We focused on touch-ups, decluttering, fresh flowers, a new welcome mat, exterior cleanup, bark, mulch, and small curb appeal upgrades.

Buyer Confidence

We organized the improvement story, including windows, roof, decks, exterior work, permits, maintenance details, and upgrades buyers value.

Cliff’s Notes Take

Maximum ROI does not always mean spending more. Sometimes it means knowing exactly where not to spend. For this Redondo Beach home, the best return came from presentation, cleanliness, documentation, pricing, and exposure.

The Marketing Plan: More Than Just Putting It Online

To sell a South Bay home well, the marketing must tell the full story. For 708 Garnet Street, that meant positioning the home around location, walkability, lifestyle, condition, layout, airflow, upgrades, and the opportunity to own in a desirable Redondo Beach neighborhood.

Why It Mattered

The 2026 market was not the same as the ultra-competitive market many sellers remembered. Buyers were more selective, interest rates mattered, and presentation had to be sharp.

Key Timeline: From Planning to Closing

Initial relationship begins. We met Brittain and Lisa through an open house connection while they were exploring a possible move within the South Bay.
