Private Sales

Sell Privately. Without Going to Market.

Through my buyer network, Carolwood’s reach, agent relationships and direct outreach, I connect sellers with qualified buyers without exposing the property publicly.

How a private sale works

  1. 01

    A confidential conversation

    Your goals, your number, and who should and should not know.

  2. 02

    Value and positioning

    A private valuation and the story buyers need to hear.

  3. 03

    Qualified buyers only

    Introductions through my buyer network, Carolwood agents and direct outreach, with proof of funds first.

  4. 04

    Controlled showings

    By appointment, with no open houses and no public trail.

  5. 05

    Negotiation and close

    Handled discreetly from first offer through escrow.

Carolwood Access

Many of the best properties are never discovered through a public search.

Through Carolwood Estates, I have access to one of the strongest luxury real estate networks in Los Angeles: private listings, agent relationships, developers and homeowners, plus my own direct outreach. Together they surface opportunities that may never appear publicly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sell my Los Angeles home without listing it publicly?

Yes. A private sale presents the home only to qualified buyers and their agents, with no public listing, no open houses and no photography online.

Will I get less selling off market?

Not necessarily. Private sales trade exposure for discretion. The right strategy depends on the property, the buyer pool and your goals, and part of my work is telling you honestly when public marketing would serve you better.

Who are the buyers for private sales?

Qualified buyers in my own network, buyers represented by agents in Carolwood’s network, and international buyers, many of them able to transact in cash.
