Top Reasons to Choose Paula Present for Hillside & Canyon Home Selling in Laurel Canyon

Selling a hillside or canyon home means managing terrain issues a flat-land listing never faces, from grading history to permit records buyers will ask about. Sellers need an agent who has actually dealt with those details firsthand. Paula Present of eXp Realty of Greater Los Angeles brings that experience to every canyon listing.

Hands-On Hillside Construction Experience Protects the Sale

Paula has done hillside construction work herself, so she can flag grading, access, or permit issues before a buyer’s inspection turns them into a problem.

Native to the Canyon, Not Just Familiar With It

Paula was born and raised in Laurel Canyon and still lives there today, giving sellers an agent who understands the neighborhood from lived experience, not a market report.

Under-Market Pricing That Creates Competing Offers

Paula prices hillside homes intentionally under market value to attract more buyers and spark competing offers. On Cheltenham, that strategy sold the home in 14 days while the surrounding market was averaging around 70 days on market.

Documented Fast, High Results on Canyon Properties

On Oakstone, a canyon cottage the seller had lived in for 35 years, Paula’s approach brought in multiple offers and closed the sale in 6 days at $117,000 over asking.

Staging Built for Hillside Homes

Paula recommends staging every listing, so a hillside or canyon home shows its views and layout at their absolute best.

Sensitivity to the Life Transition Behind the Sale

Many canyon sellers are leaving a home tied to decades of memories. Paula handles that transition with care while keeping the sale on schedule.

Trusted Through Referrals Across the Canyon Community

Most of Paula’s business comes from past clients referring friends and family, a reflection of sellers who felt well supported through the process.
