Every real estate transaction needs a team behind the transaction. These are the vendors I have worked with and trust. Pick your own if you prefer.

Home inspectors

Introductions available on request.

General home inspection, roof, sewer scope, and specialty inspections. Choose based on the property. Coastal properties usually warrant a moisture and salt-corrosion focus.

Contractors

Introductions available on request.

Kitchen, bath, whole-home. Licensed, bonded, insured. Always get three bids on any significant scope.

Handyman services

Introductions available on request.

Small repairs, punch lists, pre-listing touch-ups. Sized below general contractor scope.

Movers

Introductions available on request.

Local and long-distance. Verify insurance and Cal-T motor carrier permit for California moves.

Cleaners

Introductions available on request.

Move-in / move-out deep cleans, staging preparation, and ongoing service.

Escrow and title

Introductions available on request.

The neutral third party who holds funds and coordinates closing. Local escrow officers who know coastal OC transactions matter.

Insurance agents

Introductions available on request.

Homeowners, flood, umbrella. California's insurance market is complex; a local agent who understands your coastal property is worth their fee.

Photographers

Introductions available on request.

Wide-angle interior, twilight, drone. Sellers who invest here typically see meaningful click-through improvement.
