The Result
Our recent sale of 1901 Mt Olympus Dr achieved over last asking price and the highest price per square foot in 2024 for a non-new construction in Mount Olympus—26.6% above the average price per square foot. With hard work, strategy, positioning, and personal-level service every step of the way, our seller was able to achieve their goal.
This wasn’t just a listing—it was a transformation. Here’s how we did it:
Strategic Updates
From day one, we collaborated closely with the seller to tailor the home for Mount Olympus buyers. Many updates were cosmetic—but executed with a thoughtful eye toward design, lifestyle, and return on investment.

We turned a dated kitchen into a bright, inviting space:
- Swapped tile countertops for sleek quartz
- Painted dark cabinets a light, modern shade
- Replaced all knobs and pulls, and installed soft-close hinges
- Removed the non-working built-in coffee maker
- Replaced the trash compactor with a new matching cabinet

Design That Sells
To help buyers emotionally connect with the home, we focused on refined staging and thoughtful touches.
- Our seller brought in a top-tier staging company to style every room to feel serene, elevated, and livable
- We added string lights to the poolside gazebo and electric candle lanterns around the yard to enhance ambiance for twilight showings

Full-Service Project Management
We coordinated everything—so the seller didn’t have to:
- Scheduled and oversaw all contractors for interior painting, kitchen and bath updates, and trim refinishing
- Managed roof replacement with a licensed roofing company
- Ensured all updates were completed on time, to standard, and within budget

Visual Storytelling That Captivates
To elevate the property’s presentation and attract discerning buyers, we collaborated with Neue Focus, a premier Los Angeles-based photography and videography studio specializing in luxury real estate. Their expertise in capturing the essence of high-end properties through compelling visuals was instrumental in showcasing 1901 Mt Olympus Dr. Utilizing state-of-the-art drone technology, Neue Focus provided breathtaking aerial footage that highlighted the home’s stunning architecture, expansive layout, and picturesque surroundings. These dynamic visuals not only enhanced the property’s online presence but also created an emotional connection with potential buyers, setting the listing apart in a competitive market.
Thoughtful Marketing, Local Connection

Hosted a coffee-cart open house that felt more like a community event than a sales pitch—inviting people to linger, connect, and imagine life in the space
Ran a full-page LA Times ad to highlight the property’s unique charm and reach a design-savvy audience

We truly love working in Mount Olympus and understand the unique value and positioning of homes in this community.
You may already be working with an agent, which we completely respect. But if you’re in the process of interviewing agents to represent your family’s home—whether for lease or sale—we’d love to be considered.
Real estate is personal, and that requires a lot of trust. We don’t take that lightly. We work hard to earn trust, take a hands-on approach to make the process as smooth as possible, offer honest advice, and help our clients reach their goals with clarity and confidence.
We’d be honored to be a resource for you when the time feels right—even if it’s early. In fact, we believe the earlier the preparation begins, the better the result when you’re ready.
