We had a great experience working with Cliff Scherb. He's a true professional - has a direct pulse on the market, always responsive, and incredibly clear in how he communicates.

What we appreciated most was his approach; he presented us with information that we could trust to make confident decisions along with honest timelines and no pressure. We'd highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy, sell, or rent a home.

Selling a home isn’t just about putting a sign in the yard and hoping for the best—especially in a shifting market. When Clay and Ariana reached out to us, they had a beautiful corner-lot home and a tight timeline: sell their current home for top dollar and secure their up-leg in Carmel, all while navigating a market softened by uncertainty and tariffs.

Cliff Sherb is a rare breed in real estate. He’s one of the kindest, most down-to-earth people you’ll meet—and also one of the most fiercely competitive professionals out there. That combination is incredibly rare. Being nice and being a killer negotiator don’t usually go hand in hand, but Cliff manages to be both, and that’s exactly what makes him so effective.

At the Scherb Homes Group, we’re honored to work with incredible families like the Gressetts, who recently entrusted us with leasing their beautiful Palos Verdes home at 2809 Via La Selva. With a busy relocation underway and timelines tight, they needed a knowledgeable, responsive, and results-driven advisor—and we’re grateful they chose us to lead the process.

Spring has been full of life for the Scherb family. We recently celebrated our daughter Clover’s 6th birthday, took an unforgettable trip to Catalina Island with our Adventure Guides group, and spent Mother’s Day reflecting on the things that matter most: family, community, and shared experiences. These moments remind us it’s not about the stuff—it’s about the memories we create and hold onto.

At Scherb Homes Group, every lease we help secure is more than just a transaction—it’s a carefully guided move toward our clients’ ideal lifestyle. That was exactly the case with 417 Via Almar in Lower Malaga Cove, a coastal gem that blends Mediterranean charm with sweeping views of the Queen’s Necklace, sparkling city lights, and majestic mountains. This lease at $11,000/month was a win not only for our clients, but for what it represents: our ability to find the righthome in the right location, at the right moment.

Hey Scherb Homes Family!

Hope you’re doing well and enjoying this beautiful South Bay spring! Our family has been making the most of it lately—Clover and I had a blast camping overnight at the Santa Barbara Zoo with the Adventure Guides. We got a behind-the-scenes tour, saw some amazing animals up close, and slept under the stars with giraffes just a few feet away. Baseball season is also in full swing with Clover playing for the Angels this year, and we’ve been catching up with family and friends between showings and listings. It’s been a season of full hearts and full calendars.
