Here are some of the things I can do for you:
Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need an expert to advertise your home, show it to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork, and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.
Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Often, buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, taking professional photos, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home that stays on the market and one selling fast. I can help you implement these and other selling and negotiation tactics.
Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home.

Testimonials
" I found a nicer house for rent and I emailed the agent. I never thought anyone would call. That same afternoon, I got a call from Karla De la Cruz I remember telling her I really needed to find a house. I can't be living there anymore. I was interested to buy more than to rent. I explained to her my situation and she said "let's get together with a loan officer first and go from there". After being pre-approved I let them know I wanted to live in Thousand Oaks. The problem was that houses are so expensive. She talked to me about looking in Simi Valley. After seeing the second house we decided that was going to be our first home Karla did everything that it was in her hands to make my family's and my dream come true. I can now say that we are the proud owners of a really nice house and everything is thanks to Karla De la Cruz and Faye Miran our loan officer."

"My Agent Karla De La Cruz is a beyond amazing agent!! 1. I had 2 months to find a home at a reasonable price in the area that I wanted. Karla had met with me at every free opportunity I had to find the home I wanted. With her determination and care of my needs I have received an amazing home. 2. While negotiating she advised me (First Time Home Buyer) of the pros and cons of a certain decision. By me being fully informed I understood any situations that would happen and not be curve balled! 3. Karla has a friendly and welcoming personality that allowed for me to trust her at 200% which ultimately led to her matching my wants vs needs in a home and allowing me to envision how a house could be my home 4. I like to know not only have a knowledgeable person but also someone with the resources to aid me in finding out more information. I said I wanted a home, confirmed the price and repairs/inspection and was able to sleep perfectly at night with no stress as I knew she had it handled."

Thank you for visiting my website. Let me tell you a little about me. I grew up in the friendly and lovely city of Charlotte in North Carolina. In 2008, I moved to the beautiful state of California to be with my loving husband. Before embarking on a real estate career, I graduated with a bachelor's degree in business management from Pepperdine University while also helped manage our family's plumbing company. Currently, I am working on obtaining my Masters in Business Administration. Thanks to my training and my role within the company, I've learned and developed many skills and abilities that I've found useful in my real estate career, some of the few and most important ones are negotiations, dispute resolution, and client support. My biggest passions are my family, my clients, learning about new subjects, helping or supporting my community in any way, and knowing that I'm adding value to our world.
There are many reasons why I selected a career in real estate. The most significant is the desire that most people I know have, which is being able to have control over our time to balance work and family. Most importantly, being able to assist people in fulfilling their American Dream of homeownership is truly a privilege.
I pride myself on working with great clients while being a fierce negotiator, and supporter. Being pushy with my clients is not my style. I put my clients first by being an active listener as well as an avid communicator, keeping myself accessible and responding to their needs with integrity, support, and efficiency.
If you have a question or need help or assistance in anything real estate, I invite you to contact me. I look forward to helping you make your Dream Home a Reality.
