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.
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 outThis isn’t hypothetical.
It’s the same process we’ve used with hundreds of lease consultations and over 700+ sales.
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.
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:
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.
We’ll show you exactly how leasing vs. selling plays out — for your unit, your goals, and today’s market.
