Build a focused home search
Write down your budget, intended timing, preferred property types and the features your home must support. Separate essentials from preferences: a dedicated workspace, usable outdoor space or accessible entry may matter more than a larger room count. Share the brief with Alex and update it as viewings reveal what works. Confirm financing and available funds with the relevant professionals before setting an offer strategy.
Create your personal search briefCompare Westside locations
Start with the destinations and routines that matter to you. Compare individual homes and streets instead of assuming a neighborhood name guarantees a particular experience. Review parking, outdoor space, ownership costs and the practical route to your regular destinations. Shortlist two or three areas, then use the same questions on every tour so your comparison stays consistent.

Take a floor plan or a simple room checklist. Record light, sound, storage, access, visible condition and questions the listing does not answer. For a condominium, ask about association documents, dues, assessments, parking and shared maintenance. A tour helps you choose what to investigate; it does not replace inspections or the review of disclosures and records.
Use the remote-viewing checklistPlan a purchase from another location
Before booking travel, agree on who will arrange viewings, how documents will be reviewed and which decisions need your availability. Share your time zone and preferred contact method. Discuss the proposed offer, inspections, escrow and closing sequence with your transaction team. International buyers should obtain advice appropriate to their ownership, financing and tax circumstances.
Follow the international-buyer timelinePrepare your home for sale
Gather improvement and maintenance records, identify work that needs attention and discuss your preferred timing. Ask Alex to review relevant comparable properties and explain how they differ from yours before agreeing on a pricing plan. Decide which preparations support the presentation, schedule photography and make access practical for qualified viewings. Evaluate offers by their terms and execution risks as well as price.
