Earlier this year, we had the privilege of selling our client's home, and since then, we've been searching for the perfect next chapter for her and her fiancé. High on their wish list? A beautiful home in the Hollywood Riviera with incredible walkability.

We are so happy to say that we found the one! Nestled on one of the most desirable streets in the Lower Riviera, this charming home features an open floor plan, beautiful natural light, an inviting backyard, and easy access to Riviera Village, El Retiro Park, and Torrance Beach.

We couldn't be happier for these two as they prepare to begin their next chapter together!

First impressions matter. Especially in real estate.

Buyers aren't just purchasing square footage, they're imagining a lifestyle. And thoughtful staging helps them envision what life could look like in a home.

The right furnishings, scale, textures, and finishing touches can completely transform how a property is perceived, helping buyers appreciate its potential, understand how spaces function, and form an emotional connection.

And that emotional connection is powerful when it comes time to make an offer.

We believe that how a home is presented directly influences how its value is perceived. That's why we invest so much thought and intention into preparing our listings for the market.

Because when you're selling one of your most valuable assets, presentation isn't an afterthought. It's part of the strategy.

The competitive edge homeowners have when working with us...

Selling a home well requires a lot more than simply "putting it on the market."

It requires knowing what to change before you list and what not to waste money on. How to prepare and present the home so buyers connect with it. How to position it in the market, create demand, negotiate from a position of strength, and keep a complicated transaction moving all the way to closing.

That’s where the two of us bring very different strengths to the table.

Tara oversees the preparation, design, staging, positioning, and marketing that shape how a property is experienced from the moment a buyer first sees it.

Matthew brings the pricing strategy, buyer psychology, negotiation, and deal-making that turn that attention into the strongest possible outcome.

Different skill sets. One strategy.

That’s the competitive edge our sellers have when they work with us.

One of the advantages of working with Watts Engle & Associates and Sotheby's International Realty is access to Private Exclusive listings that you will not discover through a traditional home search.

“You were the pastor!”

Those were the words Larry Kendall greeted me with when I saw him at the Sotheby’s Global Networking Event last week, and I have to say, it made my day.

Larry is the author of Ninja Selling, a book that has profoundly influenced the way I approach real estate and, more importantly, the way I serve my clients.

I’ve had the privilege of hearing Larry speak several times over the years, and each time I’ve made a point of introducing myself and thanking him for the wisdom he’s shared. During our last conversation, I told him a little about my background as a pastor, and we connected over our shared faith.

So when he recognized me this time, I was genuinely touched.

It’s a pretty special thing to meet someone whose work has helped shape the way you think and do business. It’s even more special when they remember you.

Grateful for Larry, his generosity, and the lasting influence of his teachings!
