Just Sold // 969 Hilgard Ave #1001, Westwood Village

Representing a longtime client is always meaningful, and this closing was especially so.

After nearly 10 years of working together, this marked our 5th transaction with this client. That kind of continued trust is never something we take lightly.

Congratulations to our client, and thank you for trusting us once again.

Negotiation does not begin when an offer is submitted.

By that point, the other side may already have formed an impression of your motivation, your timeline, your pressure points, and how much leverage you may or may not have.

In real estate, negotiation often starts much earlier: in showing requests, casual conversations, follow-up questions, inspection discussions, and the small details people reveal without realizing it.

What is said matters.

What is not said matters just as much.

A strong negotiator is not simply trying to “win” the conversation. They are listening carefully, protecting their client’s position, understanding what the other side needs, and knowing when silence is more powerful than explanation.

The danger is not that a negotiation will happen.

The danger is failing to realize it already has.

In real estate, agreement is not the same as guidance.

A good agent should listen carefully, understand your goals, and respect your perspective. But that does not mean simply agreeing with everything you already hope is true.

Sometimes the most valuable conversations are the ones that test your thinking before the market does.

That may involve price, timing, preparation, offer strategy, contingencies, repairs, disclosures, or negotiation leverage. The details change from one transaction to the next, but the responsibility stays the same: help you understand the upside, the downside, and the likely outcome.

Clients do not need an agent who flatters their instincts.

They need someone who can help sharpen them.

A rare top-floor penthouse in Sunset Park's Villa Centinela, this townhouse-style condominium offers sweeping city and mountain views, dramatic vaulted ceilings, exceptional volume, and a flexible floor plan unlike the typical Santa Monica condo.

Thank you again to everyone who joined us for our Garden Party a couple of weekends ago. 🌺

One of our favorite parts of the afternoon was seeing these sketches come to life. Here are a few of the portraits our sketch artist created throughout the event. We loved getting to spend the day with so many wonderful clients, friends, neighbors and families.

After more than 16 months, LA County’s post-fire rent-gouging restrictions are set to expire on May 29, 2026.

The rule was put in place after the January 2025 fires, when thousands of families were displaced and the rental market was under enormous pressure. The intention was understandable: protect people during a crisis.

But over time, the policy also created unintended consequences. Many property owners were reluctant to lease their homes, inventory stayed tighter than it should have been, others completely ignored the laws, and the market became harder to navigate for both owners and renters.

We are glad to see this lifted. Not because the crisis was not real, but because policies created for emergency moments can become less effective over time. At a certain point, restoring inventory, movement, and flexibility in the housing market becomes part of helping people recover too.

The way buyers evaluate homes has changed.

Not long ago, a listing could slowly build momentum. A sign went up, word spread, and buyers discovered the property over time.

Today, that process happens almost instantly.

The moment a home is publicly listed, it is pushed to buyer alerts, real estate apps, agent searches, and online platforms. Within hours, most serious buyers in that price range have likely seen it.

That speed changes everything.

Buyers are not casually discovering homes the way they used to. They are comparing, filtering, and forming opinions quickly. They know what else is available, what has sold, what has not sold, and whether a price feels believable.

For sellers, this means the first few days matter. The market’s early response is not just activity. It is information.

Price, presentation, condition, photography, and positioning all need to work together from the beginning.

A beautiful afternoon in the garden.

Thank you to everyone who joined Tregg for Saturday’s Client Appreciation Garden Party at the Rustad Residence. It was such a fun afternoon filled with great conversations, flower crowns, gardening, and time spent with friends, neighbors, and clients we genuinely enjoy being around.

Events like this are a reminder that, at its best, real estate is not just about transactions. It’s about relationships, community, and the trust that grows over time through years of staying connected.

We’re grateful to everyone who came by and made the afternoon feel so special.
