Why is it better for homeowners to have a real estate agent sell their home, or help them look for one, instead of doing it by themselves?

"One may ask...why would anyone want to sell their own home? After three decades as a premier Manhattan Beach real estate agent, we see this scenario often. People think that trying to sell their property themselves will save them money on commissions. But more often than not, sellers end up netting less than they could have if the transaction were handled by a professional. An experienced agent like myself can often generate multiple offers leading to a higher sales price. These potential sales are often delicate and need an expert to evaluate and properly position the home for market. Stylizing, staging, positioning, and pricing are all essential elements for the best outcome,” shares Cindy Shearin of The Shearin Group.

A Unique Skill Set

Unique to The Shearin Group is the combination of Cindy's skills that save her clients' money. Her four areas of expertise developed over many years of experience and market study: Interior and Exterior Design, Real Estate Marketing, Ground-up Construction, and Real Estate Development and Financing. Each area has its own set of complexities that can be employed to maximize a client's return.

These skills can significantly affect a client's wallet is in preparing a home for sale by employing her 'A to Z' exercise where Cindy's assess a property to go to market. With Cindy's construction knowledge, she will evaluate the cost versus return of any upgrades and use marketing knowledge for the best marketing vehicles to promote the property. Meanwhile, Cindy's interior design talents lead to the most effective staging decisions. Often, clients are advised to hire expensive staging companies to sell a home, but Cindy's saves clients' money by staging with the minimum amount of expenditure. "We may bring in accessories and do some minor repairs if necessary, but with my design/marketing skills, we can usually make a home striking and market-ready with a very targeted and limited budget," explains Shearin.

"Also, one gains an unmatched marketing network with a Christie's International agent like myself. With a global marketing program including 138 affiliate firms worldwide and more than 32,000 international agents in which to network, not to mention the agency takes on these expenses as part of what we offer our clients, it makes working with an agent indisputable."

Haute Residence: What is your take on what to expect for the Manhattan Beach area real estate in 2021?

Cindy Shearin: The Shearin Group has proudly served the South Bay for more than 30 years. We are grateful to represent such a fantastic community year after year. The beauty of the beach cities and the proximity to LAX Airport, downtown Los Angeles and the city's conveniences keep our marketplace healthy.   

With the new year upon us, we expect a continuing robust market in the South Bay. Luckily, real estate has been hot for both the buyer and the seller during the 2020 pandemic. This has been primarily due to our area's desirability in which to live, low inventory, and minimal new construction. The low amount of new construction is merely due to the lack of buildable lots throughout the beach cities. We continue to see multiple offers and cash offers for homes and the few buildable lots that come to market. Buyers are moving around throughout the coastal communities, from other cities in the greater Los Angeles area, and some movement from buyers from other cities and states that desire to be in our immediate area.

Photo Credit: Linda Cotter

Currently, The Shearin Group is building one of a few spec homes coming to market in Manhattan Beach in late 2021.  We continue to remain in the top tier of real estate groups with a pulse on the market and the "coming soon" inventory. 

We are grateful for our thriving community. Thank you, South Bay clients and friends, for the opportunity to serve you. We'd like to wish everyone a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2021.

Haute Residence: How did the real estate market look at the beginning of 2020?

Cindy Shearin: The real estate market in the South Bay typically fluctuates very little. Pre-pandemic, we had low inventory, market prices were steady, and the US economy looked very promising.  There was a temporary pause in the market for about 60 days starting in late February.  This pause was simply due to the unknown with COVID-19. Though very brief, movement in the marketplace picked back up quickly in mid-April.

Photo Credit: Linda Cotter

HR: What, if any, changes did the pandemic have on prices? On inventory?

CS: The pandemic has had little-to-no effect on the South Bay market, especially in Manhattan Beach. We continue to have low inventory, plus there are fewer spec or custom homes being constructed due to the short supply of lots in which to build on. In fact, the Shearin Group has one of the few spec homes under construction right now in Manhattan Beach, but we’ll share more on that with Haute Residence when we get closer to completion.  

Interestingly, our numbers are up on properties sold, and even price points are up despite COVID-19. The South Bay is one of the premier areas to live in LA, and we see many Angelinos buying second homes as beach houses during this time. Buyers are looking for a place to retreat to for a lengthy amount of time but still work remotely from their own home. An excellent solution for this is reflected in an oceanfront property we represent in Hermosa Beach property called the Beach House, LA’s only condotel along the coast in So Cal. The Beach House has been very hot lately as a second home location being a great income property when not in use. Other benefits of owning at the Beach House are being right on The Strand, steps to the sand, daily housekeeping service when wanted, turn-key, and walkable to everything this great beach town has to offer.

Photo Credit: Linda Cotter

HR: Professionally, what have you learned in 2020 about yourself?

CS: It has undoubtedly been a unique year of self-discovery for us all.  We quickly learned how to maintain our top efficiency by working remotely.  We also had to adapt to safety changes in real estate by developing new methods for working with clients in person and online and just being flexible to each individual's comfort level. 

I feel fortunate with how easily we all adjusted and maintained healthy attitudes as well as healthy bodies.  We have great hope for the new year, and we'd like to wish everyone a healthy, happy 2021.

A rare opportunity for Venice Canal ownership is available in the newest building on the border of Marina del Rey and Venice Beach. The sophisticated-modern 3 bedroom, 3 bath townhome in the sought after Latitude 33 development is not only a few blocks from the Pacific Ocean and famous Venice Beach, but this particular unit overlooks the peaceful Venice Canals. The beauty of living on the canals is unique, it is both trimmed with lush greenery, and one can travel by foot along a secluded pathway to the lively Abbot Kinney area for great restaurants and nightlife, as well as meander to nearby Mother’s Beach.  

Inside this hidden gem is a sleek luxury condominium built in 2012.  The home lives large with 1960 square feet and offers a spacious office that can easily convert to a third bedroom, an open living room area, and a charming landscaped patio with a west facing view just off the canal, notably one of the three largest private verandas in the community.    

The living floor features a large modern eat-in kitchen with a wrap-around bar, Thermador and Bosch appliances, a wine refrigerator, and Ceasarstone countertops trimmed with minimalistic horizontal tiles.  This open space includes a sizable dining area for hosting fabulous dinner parties.  Adjacent is the aforementioned living room with a fireplace flanked by modern built-in cabinets, and a cozy reading area that is filled with natural light compliments to the massive picture windows here and throughout the entire property.  Large gallery walls provide the perfect place for displaying one’s art collection.  Meanwhile, the ensuite bedrooms are generous in size and the Master contains a large walk-in closet with nice built-ins.  

The home has been meticulously maintained, even the garage appears brand new.  The large epoxy coated private two-car garage, a rarity in the Marina or Venice, includes custom storage cabinets, and a 240 kWh Tesla connection.  Other amenities in the residence are surround-sound speakers throughout, Ring security and camera, and a mix of hardwood and tile floors.  

The Latitude 33 Beach Collection maintains the cache’ of a Marina del Rey address, and while bordering Venice, owners enjoy the benefits of being walking distance to shopping, dining, the beach, and the marina.  There is also 24/7 on-site security and concierge service in the building as well as a private gym with state of the art equipment.  

A true hidden gem on the peaceful canals.

Haute Residence:  What do you ask clients to not have displayed when showing their home for sale?

Cindy Shearin: It’s become fairly common knowledge to remove personal items like family photos and those adorable macaroni sculptures your kids make at school when you are preparing your home for market.  This is so the potential buyers can visualize themselves living in your home. Likewise, an overall decluttering of knickknack items, books, and papers are top of the list before your first showing. However, for the best return, a great agent will truly set the stage for buyers by actually ‘staging’ your home. The Shearin Group goes the extra mile in this department. We can rearrange furniture, repurpose your special pieces, and add little touches by selecting new accessories, throw pillows, and flowers to maximize space and flow all while making your home more updated and stylish. We can also organize one's space to be painted, complete or minor remodels, or we can completely remove existing furniture for a full professional staging in the latest trends to fit your home’s style.  We also stage the outdoor areas of one’s home because outdoor living is so important to South Bay residents.  

Staged properly, a home will bring top dollar when it is at it’s best.

HR:  How did the second quarter of 2020 real estate perform in Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach's market?

CS:  Our second quarter of 2020 has been a great success with multiple properties sold including a Hermosa Beach Strand property, a Manhattan Beach Hill Section home, and we have numerous homes currently in escrow now. We are also seeing rapid growth in our Interior Design & Development department with six custom builds currently under construction and several more on the horizon to start later this year.  We are so grateful for this growth as we love to help our clients create their dream homes.

Photo Credit: Courtesy of The Shearin Group

HR:  Is it currently a buyer or seller’s market in your market?

CS:  Right now, it is a seller’s market. In Manhattan Beach, we currently have a 1.9 month supply of inventory.  Likewise, we are seeing multiple offers on just about every home below the mid-price point in Manhattan Beach, which is presently $3.5-$4 million.

Photo Credit: Courtesy of The Shearin Group

HR:  What do you love about the housing market in your area?

CS:  The South Bay is a market that is perpetually hot making it a great area to represent. Manhattan Beach specifically was recently rated the #1 city in which to live in the USA by 24/7 Wall Street and for good reason.  Our year-round perfect weather, gorgeous beaches, great schools, fun downtown area & pier, plus the village-like shopping area which is full of great boutiques and some of the best restaurants in LA County.  

Being an agent in the South Bay for the past thirty years has earned me the title as a ‘generational agent’.   I have developed many relationships with clients who purchased with me multiple times, and now their children and often their grandchildren also work with me.  The South Bay is a community where families desire to ultimately make home.  Multi-generations will settle here together in this special place and tend to move around the South Bay vs. relocating.  Over the years, I have only had a short list of clients relocate to other states, with numerous ones relocating back to our area.  Likewise, many young adults will move to the East Coast for college and stay for a while, but eventually, they return.  

The South Bay is truly a multi-generational community and therefore has something for everyone.

Haute Residence: How has your design and development business fared during the uncertain start of 2020?

Cindy Shearin: Naturally, everyone has been affected in some way. On the job sites, we experienced a temporary slowdown for a few weeks with social distancing for our workers and having to reinvent how we ran meetings with clients, etc. But, as restrictions ease, we’ve been able to get back to our usual fast pace.

HR: Have you seen growth in your custom Design and Development division despite the recent lockdowns in California?

CS: Yes, we have. In fact, we currently have six custom luxury developments across the South Bay. That number includes properties in the Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach Sand Sections, the Hill Section, Liberty Village, Manhattan Village, and the city of Rolling Hills, one of which is a spec build.

The properties we are developing are a mixed bag. Two of the properties are exterior transformations from the Mediterranean style to a more Coastal Modern aesthetic. We are achieving this by updating all the windows and doors, reconstructing the entries, and removing the old style stucco. Then we add the quintessential touches to complete the new look. We love helping clients reimagine their existing properties to their complete satisfaction.

Photo Credit: Linda Cotter

HR: Are you seeing any style trends in what your clients are asking for?

CS: The current properties we are developing are primarily what we call Soft Modern and Coastal Modern-meets-Plantation style. We do however have an Industrial-Modern in design for the home in Rolling Hills, and a Mediterranean in the Manhattan Beach Sand Section that we are converting to a Santa Barbara/Montecito style.

Though these requests were strong before COVID, we are seeing a continued demand to add a second master suite, mudroom, additional great rooms, and indoor/outdoor spaces to most homes. Now more than ever, clients are looking for a blended indoor/outdoor space and additional work/homework spaces that are highly functional for working and homeschooling. For the Sand Section, adding beach rooms and elevators are still on the rise.

Photo Credit: Linda Cotter

HR: What are your predictions for the last half of 2020 as far as growth in custom home design?

CS: For growth, we will finish the year strong with new projects on the horizon coupled with our recent inquiries which will begin late 2020 and wrap early 2021.

Regarding predictions for trends, we will remain current on interior design trends that meet the demands of the affluent Los Angeles Beach Cities and Palos Verdes clientele. While there may be a common thread in the marketplace for style, the clientele in our area desire to freshen things up and install some of the latest design styles and colors on a regular basis. For example, we have simple updates we make for clients each season and then install larger more complex projects bi-yearly to keep their stylish homes completely fresh.

The post Custom Design Homes Market Remains Strong, With Cindy Shearin appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Some of the most coveted and most expensive properties in Southern California lay along The Strand in the South Bay. This famous four-mile pedestrian pathway is draped between gorgeous beachside estates and pristine sandy beaches from North Manhattan Beach to the border of Torrance Beach. Ocean views are locked-in along The Strand, as well as iconic vistas of the famous Manhattan Beach Pier, and the Hermosa Beach Pier that was featured in the Hollywood blockbuster film "LaLa Land".

Manhattan Beach Realtor Cindy Shearin of the Shearin Group intimately knows what life on The Strand is all about. Previously living on The Strand herself, as well as both building and selling multiple homes here over a 30-year career, Shearin has a unique perspective and a wealth of knowledge to share with her clients.

A completely unique option for ownership on The Strand in which Shearin is the exclusive agent is the only Condo-tel in the South Bay called Beach House. “The Beach House is an excellent opportunity for clients who want to own on The Strand to enjoy all that the strand-lifestyle has to offer along with the comforts of an upscale hotel, yet not have to carry the responsibility of seaside home maintenance,” explains Shearin. Coupled with that is the perk of being able to own on The Strand for under a million dollars.

The Beach House location is adjacent to Hermosa Beach’s pedestrian-only promenade. This charming spot is trimmed with sky-high palm trees amid a variety of restaurants, cafes, sports bars, and boutique shopping.

The post A Charming Oceanside Condo-tel In Hermosa Beach By Cindy Shearin appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Some of the most coveted and most expensive properties in Southern California lay along The Strand in the South Bay. This famous four-mile pedestrian pathway is draped between gorgeous beachside estates and pristine sandy beaches from North Manhattan Beach to the border of Torrance Beach. Ocean views are locked-in along The Strand, as well as iconic vistas of the famous Manhattan Beach Pier, and the Hermosa Beach Pier that was featured in the Hollywood blockbuster film LaLa Land.

Manhattan Beach Realtor Cindy Shearin of the Shearin Group intimately knows what life on The Strand is all about. Previously living on The Strand herself, as well as both building and selling multiple homes here over a 30-year career, Shearin has a unique perspective and a wealth of knowledge to share with her clients. Closing just this week on a single-family estate on The Strand, Shearin has up-to-the-minute knowledge for this distinguished location and all it has to offer.

A completely unique option for ownership on The Strand in which Shearin is the exclusive agent is the only Condo-tel in the South Bay called Beach House. “The Beach House is an excellent opportunity for clients who want to own on The Strand to enjoy all that the strand-lifestyle has to offer along with the comforts of an upscale hotel, yet not have to carry the responsibility of seaside home maintenance,” explains Shearin. Coupled with that is the perk of being able to own on The Strand for under a million dollars.  

The Beach House location is adjacent to Hermosa Beach’s pedestrian-only promenade. This charming spot is trimmed with sky-high palm trees amid a variety of restaurants, cafes, sports bars, and boutique shopping.

• Offered for $935,000

• The units are well-appointed in a desirable and timeless coastal-beach style and include a dedicated sleeping space with a king-sized bed, desk area, a generously sized living room with a queen pull out sofa, efficiency kitchen, fireplace, full bath with a separate oversized soaking tub and shower.
