Find the property that fits your goals
DOGTOWN REALTY · BUYERS & INVESTORS
Start with a clear brief. Compare homes, small multifamily properties, and selected commercial or mixed-use opportunities against your goals, budget, timing, and tolerance for work.
Define what a good purchase means
YOUR PURCHASE BRIEF
Tell us what you want to buy, where you want to be, and what fits your budget and timing. We help separate must-haves from preferences and account for financing, occupancy, and renovation needs. Our roots are on the Westside, including Venice, Santa Monica, Marina del Rey, and Mar Vista. Looking elsewhere? Tell us where you want to buy so we can discuss how we can help.
From a clear brief to a considered offer
PROCESS & NEXT STEP
Begin by defining your priorities and confirming the representation scope. DTR can help identify suitable opportunities, compare available property information, coordinate showings, and shape an offer around price, terms, timing, and investigation needs. During escrow, we coordinate the brokerage side of the process with the other professionals involved. We provide real estate brokerage services; legal, tax, lending, appraisal, engineering, and financial advice belong with qualified specialists. Bring the property details and the outcome you are considering; DTR will identify the next useful step.
Compare the full ownership picture
BUDGET & ASSUMPTIONS
The asking price is only part of the picture. Consider financing, taxes, insurance, dues, maintenance, vacancy, and planned work. We help distinguish documented costs from estimates so you can ask better questions. Your lender confirms borrowing terms; projections are estimates, not guarantees of future returns.
Review the property before committing
DUE DILIGENCE
A useful review brings together disclosures, inspections, title information, permits, condition, occupancy, and the documents available for the property. For income property, examine actual leases, rent records, expenses, and any assumptions behind projected income. DTR helps organize the brokerage questions and coordinate the transaction; buyers should engage qualified inspectors, lenders, attorneys, tax advisers, and other specialists as needed. Verify intended uses and any renovation or development plans with the relevant authorities before relying on them.
