One of the most efficient days to show new listings is on Broker’s Caravan day (aka Broker’s Tour or Preview).  New listings and price reductions are showcased by the listing agent. Typically the agent is hosting the broker's open, (doors are unlocked, lights are on) and the homes can be viewed without an appointment.  Often, clients must be accompanied by their agent, but this policy varies from listing agent to listing agent.



Some homes are listed in the MLS for several days, but not available for showing until the "reveal"  which is caravan day.  For a potential home buyer just starting to explore, this is a great day to get out and see what the real estate market is really about (in the trenches).  If your home is soon to be on the market, or currently listed but not selling, this is a great way for you and your real estate agent to check out your competition.

Each community has a different caravan day.  The Broker’s Caravan breaks down as follows in my (neighbor) hood:

Monday: Northeast Los Angeles (Eagle Rock, Highland Park, Mt. Washington)
Tuesday: La Canada and La Crescenta, Los Feliz
Wednesday: Glendale
Thursday: Pasadena, Burbank
Friday: Sunland/Tujunga

Yesterday, a client and I viewed a handful of La Canada/La Crescenta homes. These are my favorite values:
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
2125 Sunnybank, La Canada (NOT La Canada schools, but award winning Glendale/La Crescenta schools)
$1,025,000 4 + 3, 2493 sf, 14,950 lot w/pool
This is my favorite type of "fixer"  a very well maintained home (owner is an engineer) needs cosmetic updating
Great backyard + floorplan - sited on a quiet La Canada cul-de-sac


______________________________________________________________________________________________________
4638 Rosemont, La Crescenta
$799,0000 3 + 2, 1770 sf, 11,832 lot w/guest quarters or exercise room + award winning La Crescenta schools

Although, Rosemont is a busier street, the circular driveway, immaculate condition and parklike grounds more than make up for the location deficiency


______________________________________________________________________________________________________
3312 Paraiso, La Crescenta
$598,000 3 + 2, 1132 sq ft, 5,807 lot
Better quality remodel - move in condition with award winning La Crescenta schools
