23946 Calvert Street

Gary’s clients — first-time buyers — won this fully renovated Woodland Hills home out of sixteen competing offers. The three bedroom, 1,808 square foot single-story sat on the market just two active days before it was in escrow, and the sellers’ agents told the buyers directly that the offer was chosen because of how Gary presented and shepherded it: persistent, professional, and easy to work with on the other side of the table. In a bidding war that deep, the winning offer is rarely the highest number alone — it is the one the listing agent believes will actually close. Gary’s clients paid $977,000, 108.7% of the $899,000 list price, and closed on August 7, 2020.

Sixteen Offers, One Trusted to Close

Our Strategy & Approach

Our clients were first-time buyers up against fifteen other bidders on a freshly renovated single-story. The job was not to win a price war outright but to make theirs the offer the listing agent trusted to actually close — verified financing, clean terms, and steady, professional follow-through with the other side. The sellers’ agents later told the buyers plainly that the offer was accepted because of how Gary handled it. The home had two active days on market and closed at $977,000, 108.7% of the $899,000 list price.

"My husband and I just bought our first home with Gary. He was everything you could ever hope for in a real estate agent. Responsive, reliable, knowledgable, honest, organized, informative, patient, good at negotiating, and happy to go over the details as many times as we needed. He made us feel completely comfortable every step along the way. The house we purchased had 16(!!!) offers on it, and the selling agents told us the reason why our offer was accepted was because of him. They said it was all because he was so persistent, professional and nice to deal with. Gary even helped us out with several new home owner questions after we closed and moved in. Thank you Gary for helping us buy our dream home!!"

Success Stories

"I loved working with Gary. He's honest, he does what he says he's going to do on time without excuses or complaints, and he's so good at his job. If he doesn't know something, and that rarely happens, he'll find out for you. Gary Jacobs is one of a kind. Do yourself a favor, work with Gary Jacobs. I can't recommend him too highly."

"Gary was top notch. He helped us find and buy a home in Encino, CA. We bought remotely; Gary streamlined the process and did many video tours so we could see the condo we were buying. He kept us informed, and helped us at every stage. Great experience and we will definitely use Gary again!"

"If you are looking to buy or sell a house, Gary is your guy. Gary has a great pulse of the housing market trends, especially in the Conejo Valley area which is where we were looking to buy a home.

"We brought Gary and Lisa in early to determine what was needed to get the house ready for top dollar in the area we were in. We had already remodeled the interior. He made recommendations, put us in contact with contractors, and we ended up selling for full price on the first day. Actually, more than full price... We then needed to move quickly an… Read MoreRead Less
