How do I choose a real estate agent in Westlake Village or Thousand Oaks?
Look for four things you can actually verify. First, a current California DRE license — you can check any agent’s license number on the DRE website. Second, recent closed sales in your specific area and price range, not just a company-wide total. Third, a pricing opinion backed by comparable sales they will walk you through line by line, rather than the highest number in the room. Fourth, references you can call. Chelsea is happy to provide all four before you commit to anything.
Does Chelsea Tinkham handle luxury and estate properties?
Yes. She is affiliated with Keller Williams Luxury International, and her recent work includes the sale of a guard-gated Mediterranean vineyard estate in Country Club Estates, Westlake Village at $11,971,800 — a property featured in the Los Angeles Times and on FOX 11 Los Angeles.
What does it cost to work with Chelsea as a buyer?
Have the conversation first — it is free, and it is the only way to find out whether the move you are considering is realistic. Commission structures are negotiable and are set out in a written agreement before you tour homes, so you will know exactly what you are agreeing to before anything is signed.
How do I get a valuation on my home?
Ask for a comparative market analysis. It is free and there is no obligation to list. Chelsea will look at what is genuinely comparable in your neighborhood, walk you through how she arrived at the number, and give you a net sheet showing what you would actually walk away with after costs.
