We broke a sales record in Frame & Focus and sold it off market!

It was an incredibly fulfilling experience for my clients when we sold their townhome as a Compass private exclusive and set a new sales record in Frame & Focus. During our first meeting, we thoroughly inspected the property and offered recommendations to help them achieve the highest possible sales price. The property was in excellent condition, with only minor improvements needed, such as washing the windows. Since my clients did not want to hold open houses and were not ready to list on the public market, we suggested a Compass exclusive listing.

What is a Compass Private Exclusive?

When we list a Compass private exclusive, we use the same marketing tactics as we do with any other listing. The property is advertised to all Compass agents and their clients looking in the area but is not listed on the MLS, Zillow, Redfin, or any other platforms. This can be a great way to test the market in certain situations, as it does not count as days on the market and does not negatively affect the seller. As we have a reputation for helping Civita, we receive constant inquiries from agents who ask if we have any new properties coming to market. We also contact all agents we know who may have clients looking in Civita. In this case, it was a win-win for our clients as they did not have to go to the market and set a new sales record in the community.

Why is it important to list your home with an area expert?

When selling your home, it’s essential to partner with a real estate agent who knows the community. An agent who is familiar with the area will have a deep understanding of local market trends, property values, and buyer preferences. They can leverage this knowledge to develop a targeted marketing strategy that highlights your home’s unique features and attracts the right buyers. A community expert can also provide valuable insights into local schools, parks, and amenities, which can affect property values and attract potential buyers. By working with an agent who knows the community, you can sell your home quickly and for the right price, with confidence and peace of mind.

After my uncle's unexpected passing, I interviewed several real estate agents to help me in listing his condo in Civita. Karl's presentation during our listing appointment blew me away. His kindness and consideration during a difficult time was met equally by direct suggestions and a professional, confident plan to quickly stage, photograph, and list the property. Karl assured me that he would make the process as smooth as possible and would take care of all of the details. This was incredibly reassuring as I live in New York and was only in San Diego for two weeks. Not only did Karl close the deal well over asking (in just 5 weeks after listing!), he efficiently handled even the smallest details, keeping me informed and updated along the way. I confidently and strongly recommend Karl for his knowledge of the area, strong communication, and willingness to go above and beyond for his clients.

Ashley G., Seller - Civita ~ $950k

Karl is very knowledgeable about all things Civita and his marketing materials are best in class. Karl found a buyer for us before we even hit the market. This was a very pleasant experience.

David S., Seller - Civita ~ $1,265,000

"Karl is very prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. He made the sale of our home extremely easy and stress free. We got way more than we expected from the sale of the house, thanks to his expertise and his team. I highly recommend Karl Bublitz!"

Lisa Y., Seller - Clairemont ~ $815k

"Great experience! We recently sold our old home and bought a new one with Karl! He was able to find us the perfect buyer for our old place - we were really picky and needed to find a buyer that was willing to rent back to us while we hunted for a new home in this crazy market. He found us that buyer, and at full asking price!"

Adria O., Seller - Mission Valley ~ $700k

"After writing the previous review we hired Karl (and his colleague Ryan Ponce) to sell our duplex. Karl was fantastic and successfully closed the sale even after we had an unexpected surprise during a buyer's inspection. His calm demeanor and creative ideas helped save the day. I highly recommend Karl and wouldn't hesitate to hire him again."

Debbi D., Seller - South Park ~ $850k

"Karl is a great realtor! I had absolutely no clue where and how to start with selling my home, and I am so lucky I had Karl. Karl was very patient and kind responding to all my questions and responded promptly. He laid out easy steps and I didn’t feel overwhelmed with the process. The open house, which we only showed for one weekend, was a success and they pulled out all the stops, including a donut bar at the showing. Such a nice touch! After only a couple of days on the market we got double digit offers and went into escrow in less than a week. We ended up getting way over asking price! I highly recommend Karl and appreciate all the hard work he did."

Arlyne P., Seller - Civita ~ $1,150,000

"Thank you Karl Bublitz!! My husband and I had a great experience selecting our first home with Karl! Right from the beginning, he understood what we were looking for and chose properties that he knew we would like as well as keeping our budget in mind. He really does his homework and has great presentation skills and is not pushy at all. His knowledge of the downtown market and connections with property management and sales teams are what sets him apart. He has great energy and very genuine. Not only did he make us feel well taken care of, he followed up every step of the process and answered all of our questions immediately. We are so happy with our condo selection downtown San Diego and highly recommend him to anyone selling or buying downtown!"

April D. , Buyer - Columbia District ~ $1,179,900

"Karl is a very good listener. It did not take him long to figure out our preferences and focus on homes that we both saw as excellent options. When it came time to sell our second rental property we went straight to Karl and in the end we wished we had listed the first property with him. Karl is very patient, and works with an outstanding marketing team that knows how to market your properties best features. If you are looking for an honest, direct and very hard working realtor go no further. Karl is professional and committed to the best possible outcome for their clients."

Michael M., Seller - South Park ~ $850k

"I'm really fortunate to have met Karl. I was shopping for homes previously with another agent that was too pushy. My girlfriend randomly met Karl at an open house, and a couple days later, he was showing me houses. He has a calm and laid back demeanor which I clicked very well with. He let me take my time looking at properties and listened well to help get a better understanding of what I was looking for. When I found the place I was looking for, he helped me every step of the way. He walked me through negotiating offers, setting up a home inspection, renegotiating for repairs, and escrow paperwork. He was very knowledgeable and prompt. I had so many questions and must have called him a million times, but he was always there to help and never once seemed annoyed with me. He got me the house I wanted at the price I wanted. I would recommend Karl to anyone looking to buy or sell a home and will definitely work with him again in the future."
