I work mainly by referral from satisfied clients.  Selling myself and my services is not much fun for me, but I do enjoy meeting new people to find out what they need and see if I can help them.  So calls and emails "out of the blue" are welcome.  You won't get a "hard sell", it's just not my nature.  If you are looking to buy or sell a home or would just like some residential real estate information about the local market or about the buying and selling process, be sure to get in touch.

I work weekdays from 9 to 6, except I take Wednesday off, and I take appointments for evenings and weekends.

As a listing agent in the South Bay, my marketing and negotiating plan gives a homeowner the opportunity to get the maximum value for his/her property.  Risk management, getting you through disclosure requirements and contract terms with no damage, is my specialty.

For buyers, I make sure that you have the best financing all prepared, I help search until we find the property you want, I negotiate the best possible deal, and I guide you through inspections and all of the details of escrow.

Nothing satisfies me more than creating a client for life and seeing the smiles of gratitude that come with a successful sale or purchase with minimum hassle and anxiety.  

I rely on referrals from satisfied clients of their friends and family to bring in new business.  That way I can give most of my time and attention to what is most satisfying to me and to what I do best, namely provide superior service. 

Thanks for considering Don Achterberg as your Palos Verdes Peninsula and Beach Cities residential real estate source.
