Search for Top 360 South Bay Realtors and Three Sixty Real Estate Specialists

by

Three Sixty  South Bay is wonderful gated community in the Hollyglen neighborhood of Hawthorne.  Many home buyers contact us in their search for homes or their search for a top realtor that specializes in Three Sixty real estate.

A Bit of Background

An important thing to understand and a frequent misunderstanding is how real estate and home sales work in Three Sixty.  When 360 was first built by Lyon Homes around 2013-2015, they had an on-site sales office with their own sales office (think sales experience at a car dealership).  The only way to buy a home in the community was to go through their sales office.  Realtor’s involvement, if any, ended when they accompanied their clients to the complex.

Today’s Real Estate Market

The original Lyon owned homes and presales sold long ago so there are no longer “model” homes to walk through, no sales office and no sales agents that represent the builder.  At this point all of the homes are individually owned and therefore any sales are just like other neighborhoods.  The seller ususally chooses a realtor who then puts it on the local MLS where buyers and agents find it.  Buyers can also be represented by just about any licensed realtors as well.

Who Specializes in Three Sixty Home Sales?

There are several great realtors that sell the bulk of the homes in 360.  They have become trusted advisors for both buyers and sellers and through referrals, word of mouth, and their knowledge of the community they sell more homes than other realtors.  Unlike some other communities there are still a number of original owners in the complex and as they didn’t have realtors when they purchased (again the original buyers went through the sales office that no longer exists) they sometimes work with out of area listing agents which may not be the most beneficial to the sellers but it’s certainly their choice.  See also what a real estate professional can do to help with your home search in the current climate.

How We Can Help With Your Home Search In These Uncertain Times

by

Searching for a home has definitely changed over the past few years with technology meaning access to more information. Whereas we used to spend weekends driving clients from home to home, that rarely happens any longer. The recent events with Covid 19 and social distancing have changed the process dramatically once again. Not longer are open houses much of an option and even private showings are frowned upon for the health and safety of the buyers, the sellers, and the realtors. So how can we help?

We’ve been doing video walkthroughs and Facetime tours for years for our out of area buyers. Given the current situation that is often the best place to start for even local buyers these days. If you’re not already working with a local real estate specialist we would love to help. Contact us for more information, to start your home search, or to learn more about homes that are on the market and coming up.

New 3 Bedroom Townhome in The Courts for Sale Likely Won’t Last Long

by

As I’ve posted several times in recent weeks and months, there have been no homes for sale in 360.  That’s finally changed with the new listing at 13220 Central #102.  This is a very  nice plan 2 floorplan in the Court on the highly desirable south side of the community (no road noise).  Listed at $935,000 it’s likely it won’t last too long on the market. The last sale of a residence to was at 12822 Manhattan Unit#102 which sold for $940,000 in January. That was a more upgraded unit, but not as desirable a location. Prior to that the home at 5545 Ocean # 102 sold at $925,000 in September of 2019. If you would like more information on this home or would like to schedule a look please contact us.
