We worked with our client to get the property looking its best, coordinating repairs, decluttering, painting, and staging the property –using a mix of our client’s own pieces combined with our own staging pieces we brought in to make the space look its best. We arranged for pre-inspection reports so interested buyers would know everything about the house before their own inspections. We even coordinated packing, storage and moving. Our marketing efforts resulted in features in various print and online publications including Los Angeles Times Hot Property. Our very happy, client said goodbye to her lovely home feeling appreciative and thankful, exclaiming to us, “Best real estate agents ever!” Notable works by Harold Bissner, Jr. include the the Vard Wallace House, also known as the Volcano House (1970, Newberry Springs, CA), formerly owned by Huell Howser; the Sechler House (1954, Pasadena, CA); the experimental Casa Azulejo house (Pasadena, CA, 1966), as well as many commercial projects, that took Bissner to multiple continents.
