The conversation
A private valuation built on the house, the street and what is quietly trading, discussed in person.
Selling
Selling an estate, privately.
Before a sign, a listing or a photograph, there is a conversation about what the house is, who it is for, and how quietly it should move.

The process
The study 
Readied for the light

By appointment 
Handed over
How a quiet sale moves.
Preparation
The house is readied the way a buyer at this level expects to find it, down to the light in each room.
Film and photography
The house is filmed and photographed, directed, so it is seen before it is visited.
The right audience
Introductions to the right buyers, in Los Angeles and abroad, through private channels before any public launch.
Private showings
By appointment, qualified first, and never an open house unless the owner wants one.
Negotiation and close
Terms, timing and discretion handled personally, through the close of escrow.
Discretion
Olive 
The approach
What a quiet sale protects.
The family's privacy
Who lives in the house, why it is for sale and where they are going next stay out of the conversation unless the owner wants them in it.
The price
A public listing records every reduction and every day on the market. A private sale lets the number be a negotiation, not a history.
The timing
Nothing is rushed by a launch date. The house is shown when it is ready and when the right buyer is in town.
Nothing on this page is a promise. The promise is made in person, about your house.
