Hugh Evans | Your Real Estate Resource

445 19th Street
Santa Monica
California

The Challenge:

My client lives in London, but was purchasing a home in Southern California.
The home they selected had to be completely remodeled, while they had virtually no contact with any of the contractors, and never set foot on site.

The Solution:

Conducted the entire search process through pictures and video tape.
Successfully served as liaison, and stayed in constant contact with the client and all third-party consultants.
Used extensive relationships and knowledge of the purchase process to ensure a seamless project.

The Result:

"I have complete trust in Hugh Evans. Without ever meeting me in person, he found a home that fits me perfectly, and handled every aspect of the process so that I never once had to worry."

The Challenge:

The Pappas family purchased their new home before selling their existing home, as is often the case. This placed a tremendous amount of pressure on them as sellers.
It is in such situations that clients and agents learn a lot about each other, and relationships can become either very close or very fractured.

The Solution:

Used negotiating acumen and market knowledge to convince the seller of their new home to agree to a price below market value.
Used solid relationships to find the right buyer for their home, and facilitate a rapid process.

The Result:

"Hugh's background as a builder of homes gives him a unique perspective, tremendous expertise, and the sophistication necessary to find the right home for his clients."

601 and 609 Amalfi
Pacific Palisades
California

The Challenge:

This was a complicated, expensive project, that required my involvement through every stage - including securing a lender, finding the right investors, determining how best to split the land, etc.

The Solution:

Purchased the land for $3,650,000, and split the lot into two separate parcels.
Hired the architect, contractor, geologists, engineers, design team, etc. and successfully built two homes.

The Result:

Sold both homes for a combined sales price of just under $11 million - the highest sales in Pacific Palisades in many years.
The traditional home sold before it was actually on the market and the Mediterranean home sold the first day.

Ongoing Development Projects
California

The Challenge:

Working with professionals who buy and sell homes as a business requires a very different approach, and presents a very unique set of challenges, including:

Recognizing the opportunity before anyone else.
Committing up to 1.5 years from purchase to rehab or development, to representing on the other end.
Pricing the project for the developer.
Delivering on that price.

The Solution:

Using an extensive network of contractors, architects, etc. who know me and how to successfully work with me.
The team is in place, the communication is in place - we know what to expect, and how to get the job done.
Able to make high-end subs recommendations for my clients' smaller projects - because I'm sending them bigger deals at other times.

The Result:

"Hugh has a level of professionalism that is simply unrivaled. He seeks to understand the subtleties of the market, the buildings and each individual client. And he does whatever it takes to successfully sell a property."
