Smart Condo Owners Start with the Numbers, Not Emotions
By Brian Maser | The Condo Experts


When the market shifts, most agents push a sale. We don’t.

At The Condo Experts, we believe the smartest real estate decisions start with data — not feelings, fear, or sales pressure.

Whether you’re in Santa Monica, West LA, Venice, Brentwood, Marina del Rey, El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, Torrance — or anywhere in between, the right move for your condo starts with real numbers.

“Should I lease... or should I sell?”

That’s the question we hear every day.

And the truth is: There’s no one-size-fits-all answer.

But there is a smart way to decide — with numbers, strategy, and zero pressure.

Our Proven Process:

A Real Analysis, Not a Sales Pitch

We don’t pitch listings. We run the numbers — and show you the full picture.

Here’s what we walk you through:

  • 🏷️ Estimated sale value based on real market data
  • 📄 Net proceeds — with a full closing statement pulled from escrow
  • 💰 Rental income projections
  • 📉 Cost breakdown: property taxes, HOA dues, insurance, maintenance
  • 💡 Strategic prep advice — whether you’re investing $3K or $15K
  • 🧾 Tax considerations tailored to your equity, timeline, and goals
  • 🧘 Risk, return & peace of mind — all modeled out

This isn’t hypothetical.
It’s the same process we’ve used with hundreds of lease consultations and over 700+ sales.

The Consultation

We offer this full analysis as a flat-fee consultation: $250 — credited back when you lease or sell with us.

If you move forward with us? Great.
If not? You still walk away with clarity, direction, and a complete breakdown you can act on.

Because the right decision doesn’t come from a hunch.
It comes from a framework.

Why Most Agents Don’t Offer This

Most agents are trained to sell. Fast.

But real estate isn’t just about timing the market — it’s about aligning with your goals.

We look at:

  • Your unit
  • Your numbers
  • Your life strategy

Sometimes the smart move is to lease.
Sometimes it’s to sell.
Sometimes it’s to wait.

We’ll walk you through each path — with real math and zero pressure.

The Market Rewards Strategic Owners

  • Long-term owners with low rates are winning in the rental market
  • Leasing demand is rising as buyers get priced out
  • Well-prepped condos still attract premium tenants and buyers
  • Owners who know their numbers make calm, confident decisions

We’ll show you exactly how leasing vs. selling plays out — for your unit, your goals, and today’s market.
