Top Reasons to Choose Paula Present for Downsizing (Selling Your Home) in Laurel Canyon

Selling a longtime home to downsize is rarely just a financial decision. It often means saying goodbye to decades of memories while still needing a strong sale price. Paula Present of eXp Realty of Greater Los Angeles brings both the strategy and the sensitivity that downsizing sellers need.

Deep Understanding of the Emotional Side of Downsizing

Paula is attentive to the nostalgia that comes with leaving a longtime home and gives sellers the space to process that transition without slowing down the sale.

A Proven Track Record With Longtime Homeowners

On Oakstone, Paula sold a canyon cottage for a seller who had lived there for 35 years, closing the sale in 6 days at $117,000 over asking.

Under-Market Pricing That Sells Fast

Paula prices homes intentionally under market value to create competing offers instead of letting a listing sit. On Cheltenham, that approach sold the home in 14 days against a market averaging around 70 days on market.

Staging That Highlights a Home’s Full Potential

Paula recommends staging every listing, so buyers see a longtime family home at its best rather than as a dated space.

Clear, Patient Guidance Through California’s Contracts

Downsizing sellers are often navigating extensive paperwork for the first time in decades. Paula walks through each step so nothing feels rushed or confusing.

Personal Attention From Someone Who Sees the Bigger Picture

Paula treats a downsizing sale as a meaningful chapter in a client’s life, not just a transaction, which is part of why the Oakstone seller trusted her with a sale tied to 35 years of memories.
