LIVE IN DEL REY.
Living in the Del Rey neighborhood—a residential enclave on the eastern edge of Marina del Rey—offers the best of both worlds: quiet, suburban-style living with quick access to the beach, tech hubs, and cultural hotspots. Sometimes overlooked compared to the glitz of the Marina Peninsula or Venice, Del Rey is underrated, practical, and on the rise, making it an appealing choice for families, professionals, and investors alike.

Intelligent pricing is one of the most critical aspects of a successful sale – no matter how perfect your home is, you’ll miss out on potential buyers if its price doesn’t align with similar properties selling in your market. Your Coldwell Banker® affiliated agent will thoroughly assess your home and optimally price it in relation to market factors and local competition to generate the most interest from buyers and their agents.
Your agent will prepare comparative market analysis (CMA), a report that pulls data from sales activity in your area and offers intelligence on homes similar to yours. The CMA will be used to establish an ideal listing price that both meets your financial needs and appeals to buyers.
Key CMA data includes:
Comparable properties in your area that recently sold and failed to sell
Pending sales in your area
Comparable active listings in your area
Throughout the selling process you are likely to receive competing offers or offers below your asking price. Your Coldwell Banker® affiliated agent will leverage your input and their expertise to negotiate on your behalf, building the strongest possible case for your home to secure top dollar.
