From finding a real estate agent, prepping, staging and selling your home to packing up and moving, the entire process of getting out of one home and into another can be overwhelming. Whether you are still debating if you should remodel your home or just move, or feel ready to put up a for-sale sign, this guide is a good place to start — it’s packed with advice and articles from Houzz covering just about every aspect of selling and moving. It can’t do the work for you, but perhaps it will at least help you feel more organized in the middle of this inevitably messy process.

Make a plan to prepare your house for sale. As soon as you make the decision to sell your home, start a master list (or several lists) to keep track of potential home repairs and other tasks, from tiny to major. It’s easy to let the to-dos make your head swim, and having everything on paper (or a note on your phone) can help you stay on track. Decide on a timeline for the “launch” of your home sale, and work backward from the date of your first open house to figure out when you need to complete tasks. Read More….

A contemporary-style mansion in Malibu that has been the set of more than 20 movies, television shows, and music videos has returned to the market with a price tag of $8.95 million.

The curving glass-and-steel home, at 33583 Mulholland Highway, is set on nearly 17 acres on a private knoll, with the nearest neighbor 400 feet below.The living room faces west, with sunsets over Malibu’s Boney Ridge, a sharp outcropping of rocks in the Los Angeles hills. The master suite faces south, with views of the Pacific Ocean. The house features limestone floors containing fossilized creatures. The property also has its own helipad.

Though the architecture, by Ed Niles, is distinctive, the 7,000-square-foot home’s most notable feature may be its Hollywood history. It has appeared in more than 20 pieces of entertainment, serving as the backdrop for Chris Brown’s “Fortune” album cover, Britney Spears’“Work B**ch” music video, and movies from “Face Off” starring Nicolas Cage and John Travolta to “Benchwarmers” starring David Spade, Adam Sandler, John Lovitz, and Rob Schneider.

Tatiana has the innate ability to connect with clients and truly over delivers in every way. The service and personal attention we received from her was exceptional and unexpected from a Realtor! She is truly a high-calibre real estate professional. Her knowledge of the local market and her key contacts in the community, helped get our property SOLD. Where other Realtors failed she succeeded. After patiently going through offers and explaining pertinent details with us, she made sure we got the best offer for our property and more importantly, the best value purchase for a new one! Regardless of whether you are buying or selling, I would highly recommend Tatiana to help you in this life changing move. We could not have asked for a better Realtor to guide us through the process.

Tatiana is the quintessential agent for listing or buying a property. Classy, stand-out, and very, very thorough – made me feel well taken care of. Very helpful, especially with my hectic schedule. She goes beyond the call of duty and isn’t in it just for the quick buck, but wants to nurture the relationship. You can “feel” it when an agent just wants the commission, that doesn’t exist with her.

Tatiana is without a doubt the absolute best at what she does. Her impeccable service, attention to detail, professionalism, knowledge and patience is unlike anything we have ever experienced. From the moment the process began, you could feel her dedication. We instantly became a team on a journey. Thank you Tatiana, for making us feel like we were the only ones that existed….for dealing with our unbelievably hectic schedules – which only led to our late night consultations – we never felt rushed, but instead extremely informed, supported and always with a feeling of peace. We would never consider working with anyone else. We look forward to working with you again soon and highly recommend you to the world. You are a perfect TEN in every way.

As I’ve “been around awhile now” (65 birthdays young!) & done several real estate transactions through various agents, I’m rather “skeptical & critical” until I see the final outcome. As Tatiana Derovanessian recently completed a transaction for me in Sherman Oaks, I can now say to anyone “she’s a cut above other agents I’ve dealt with”…if you select her as your agent, you will NOT be disappointed. She is very gracious, patient, thorough and a 1st class professional all the way.
