Our Custom Approach

There Is an Art
to Getting It Sold.

Instead of resorting to out-of-the-box solutions, we look at each listing through a different lens — using market data, a powerful network, and professional marketing expertise to form a custom plan that covers everything you need from your sale. While there are many steps in the selling process, you need only concern yourself with a few key moments. We handle the rest.

01

Pre-Market Preparation

We coordinate professional cleaning, staging, photography, drone footage, and any pre-listing repairs or improvements. You hand us the keys — we orchestrate a flawless execution from start to finish. For properties that need more, we can project-manage light renovations with no up-front cost through our HomeSale Loan program.

02

Strategic Pricing

As a Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA), Will conducts a rigorous comparative market analysis — not just to find a number, but to find the right number. Pricing your listing to be competitive while optimizing your return, with respect to the apparent and perceived value of your property, is paramount. Our data shows: shorter days on market, and the majority of our sales close above asking.

03

Marketing Your Listing

Marketing comes down to drafting a narrative that's unique to your property. We use professional photography, videography, drone footage, Matterport 3D tours, and targeted social media advertising — enhanced by Equity Union's digital platform. Every listing gets the same high-production treatment, regardless of price point.

04

Showings & Open Houses

We stage your home to show in its absolute best light — creating a warm, inviting environment that focuses buyers on your home's best architectural features. Research from the National Association of Realtors shows that staging a stagnant listing makes it sell up to 73% faster. First impressions drive offers.

05

Negotiation

As a Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) and former attorney, Will doesn't negotiate by instinct — he negotiates by strategy. That means structured offer analysis, counter-offer strategy designed to maximize your net proceeds, and legal fluency to navigate complex contract terms, contingencies, and multiple-offer situations.

06

Inspection, Escrow & Close

We advocate for pre-inspections before listing — addressing issues proactively reduces renegotiations and protects your timeline. Through escrow, we manage every detail, coordinate with all parties, and keep communication transparent throughout. Our goal is a clean, smooth close that puts you in the strongest possible position.

"Sellers often leave a lot of money on the table. But if you invest a little effort and resources, you can make so much more. Our analytics are remarkable — shorter days on market, and the majority of our sales close above asking price."

Scott Nell — The Nell Team, Equity Union Real Estate

White Glove Service

Every Listing.
The Same Standard.

Regardless of the listing price, every property receives the same level of care, preparation, and marketing. We don’t phone it in. We bring in professional designers, project managers, and vendors — and put in the time, effort, and personal attention every listing deserves.

Maximize Your Return

Pre-Listing Upgrades

Scott Nell of The Nell Team pioneered a “seller-mini-flip” strategy that generates extraordinary returns on targeted pre-sale improvements. In one documented case, a $100,000 investment in painting, flooring, landscaping, and staging transformed a $2M appraisal into a $2.85M sale — in three months.

Working with Equity Union and The Nell Team, we help our sellers fund and manage pre-listing upgrades that can dramatically increase the value of a property. These upgrades include paint, new floors, repairs, and other cosmetic improvements that can take an outdated or problematic home and make it ready for market. Beautiful, updated homes always sell faster and for more money. Funds for these upgrades can be paid through escrow. Ask Will about the details of these incredible options for sellers.

Your Questions Answered

How long does it take to sell a home?

Well-prepared, well-priced homes typically receive offers within 1 to 3 weeks of listing. Escrow takes another 30 to 45 days. From the day we start preparing your home to the day you close, expect 8 to 12 weeks total — though homes in desirable neighborhoods can move significantly faster.

Seller costs typically include agent commissions (now fully negotiable under the 2024 NAR settlement), transfer taxes, title and escrow fees, and any agreed-upon repairs. Total closing costs for Burbank sellers generally run 6 to 8 percent of the sale price. I walk through a full net-proceeds estimate in our first consultation — no surprises.

Strategically, yes — but not everything yields a dollar-for-dollar return. The highest-ROI improvements are fresh paint, updated flooring, landscaping, and professional staging. Through The Nell Team’s HomeSale Loan program, sellers can fund improvements with no up-front cost, repaid at close. I help you identify exactly what’s worth doing.

Automated estimates from Zillow and Redfin are frequently inaccurate in Burbank — our sale at 913 Sherlock Drive closed 40% above their estimates. A proper Comparative Market Analysis, adjusted for your home’s specific condition, location, and features, is the only reliable way to know. Call 310-920-1108 for a free home valuation.
No — and in most cases, you shouldn’t be. Buyers are more comfortable exploring freely when the seller is not present, which leads to stronger emotional connection and better offers. All showings are coordinated through a secure lockbox system. You receive showing notifications and feedback in real time.
Burbank remains a highly desirable market with limited inventory and consistent demand, driven by proximity to major studios, top-rated schools, and the Burbank Rancho’s distinctive character. Homes priced and prepared correctly continue to generate multiple offers. Contact me for a current market snapshot specific to your neighborhood and price range.
