One of my favorite communities in Westlake Village

First Neighborhood

One of my favorite communities in Westlake Village

Westlake Village is a lovely planned community located in the eastern portion of Ventura County, California. It is a master-planned development consisting of several neighborhoods, each with its own unique features and characteristics. One of these neighborhoods is First Neighborhood, which is known for its excellent location, scenic beauty, and well-maintained homes.  Westlake Lake is just a short distance away as are some of the best waterfront restaurants to enjoy lunch or dinner and watch the sunset. 

First Neighborhood is situated on the western side of Westlake Village, just south of Thousand Oaks. It is bordered by Lindero Canyon Road to the west, Westlake Boulevard to the east, and Agoura Road to the north. The community was developed in the late 1960s and 1970s and has a distinct architectural style that is reminiscent of the era.

One of the best things about First Neighborhood is its location. It is close to top rated schools, several shopping centers, restaurants, and recreational facilities. It is also just a short drive from the beaches of Malibu and the Santa Monica Mountains. The community is served by the highly-rated Las Virgenes Unified School District, making it an ideal place for everyone to enjoy the convenience of the beautiful community.

📦 Thinking about downsizing or moving out of the area? You’re not alone—and it’s a major life move that deserves more than a quick Zillow scroll and wishful thinking. Buying a home today (especially when you’re also selling or relocating) is filled with hidden layers most people don’t even consider—until it’s too late. Here’s what savvy clients do differently from the start: ✅ Know the Financial Chain Reaction
Pre-approval is just step one. Do you know how a sale contingency works? How moving equity impacts your buying power? What your net proceeds will be before listing your home? Most don’t—but we do. ✅ Understand Local vs. Destination Markets
Is the market you’re selling in hot while your new one is competitive? Timing matters. We’ll map out how to align both ends so you’re not stuck in limbo—or paying double mortgages. ✅ Plan the Exit and the Entry
Are you coordinating a cross-country move, rightsizing, or transitioning into a simpler lifestyle? Logistics like moving timelines, temporary housing, and estate planning often get overlooked. We make them part of the strategy. ✅ Expect Emotional Surprises
Selling a longtime home can be emotional. Many don’t realize how tough letting go can be—until they’re clearing out decades of memories. We guide you through it with care and clarity. ✅ Work with an Expert, Not an Algorithm
Online tools won’t remind you about tax implications, title complications, or how to protect your sale from falling through. That’s where I come in—your trusted advocate from first step to final signature. 💡Real estate is more than just a transaction—it’s a transition. Especially if you haven’t bought or sold in years, you need more than an agent. You need a strategic partner who puts your goals and peace of mind first. 📲 Let’s talk if you’re thinking about selling, downsizing, or relocating. We’ll walk through everything—what to expect, what to avoid, and how to make it seamless. I’m local, I’m experienced, and I do real estate differently. Ready to move with confidence? 👇 Drop a 🏡 or send me a DM to get started. We don’t just list homes. We represent people—with strategy, integrity, and certainty.
At Avant ONE Real Estate, we don’t operate on hope—we operate on standards. Just like skydivers don’t “hope” their parachute opens, we don’t hope a deal closes, hope a buyer calls, or hope a home sells itself. We follow a proven process, built on decades of experience and client-first principles. We are not advocates of secret listings or dual agency—because representing both sides in a real estate transaction is the equivalent of an attorney defending both the plaintiff and the defendant. It’s not just dangerous—it’s a conflict of interest that erodes trust, integrity, and the very foundation of fiduciary duty. Our success isn’t based on luck. It’s built on preparation, precision, and a relentless commitment to doing things the right way every single time. Because when your name is on the sign and your future is on the line… hope has no place at 13,000 feet. We don’t just list homes. We represent people—with strategy, integrity, and certainty.

Selling a Home Can Be Difficult… But It Doesn’t Have to Be. When it comes to selling a luxury home, every detail matters — and how you start determines how confidently you finish. At Avant ONE, we don’t just list homes — we elevate them. ✨ Here’s how we make it seamless, strategic, and successful: 🔹 Prep Like a Pro: We begin with a personalized strategy session. Our design and staging experts assess the home’s potential, then curate updates (paint, lighting, landscaping, furniture placement) that maximize appeal and ROI — often with no upfront cost to you. 🔹 Luxury-Level Marketing: Think cinematic video tours, drone footage, twilight photography, custom property websites, social media campaigns, and premium print exposure in the right places. Not to mention global digital syndication and private network outreach. 🔹 Presentation is Power: We help you declutter, depersonalize, and dress your home to impress — with an emphasis on lifestyle, flow, and emotional connection. Buyers don’t just see your home — they feel it. 🔹 Negotiation Mastery: When offers roll in (and they do), we lead with data, confidence, and strategy. Our market knowledge and deal experience mean we advocate relentlessly to protect your equity and exceed your expectations. 🔹 Transaction Flow: Our white-glove coordination ensures a smooth path from offer to close. Escrow, inspections, repairs, disclosures — we handle it all, keeping you informed and in control without the stress. 📍 Whether you’re in Westlake Village, Lake Sherwood, Calabasas, or North Ranch, our process is built to protect your privacy, maximize your value, and make selling feel easy. Luxury is not a price point — it’s a level of service.

Beyond the Basics. Beyond the Ordinary. Luxury isn’t just a price point—it’s a level of service, presentation, and expertise that most listings never experience. Too often, homes hit the market before they’re truly ready—underwhelming photography, uninspired staging, weak descriptions, and pricing strategies that miss the mark. The result? Lost opportunities, lower offers, and unnecessary stress. At Avant ONE, we do things differently. Every property we list is curated, elevated, and positioned for maximum impact. Every. Single. Detail. Matters. Thinking of selling? Let’s talk about how to showcase your home at its full potential—because anything less is a missed opportunity.

Why Off-Market Listings Cost Sellers Thousands—The Case for Maximum Exposure Some brokerages claim off-market sales are the best option for sellers, but who really benefits?

✨ No listing should be without staging—virtual or physical! ✨ Yeah, we do this….💯 And it’s customized for your home. Included in every listing where physical staging isn’t an option, because our marketing team knows—presentation is everything. 🎯🏡 We take care of this for our clients because we never market an empty home. Standing out when you’re on the market is key, and virtual staging ensures your home looks its absolute best from day one! While an empty home might seem like a fresh start, most buyers struggle to visualize the potential. That’s where we step in! Using digital tools, we transform vacant rooms into beautifully furnished spaces—helping buyers connect emotionally and see themselves in the home. 💻🎨 🔹 A great alternative to traditional staging.
🔹 Fast Turnaround – No waiting around—get your listing up ASAP!
🔹 Next-Level Photos – Eye-catching, clutter-free, and designed to impress.
🔹 More Buyer Appeal – Staged homes sell faster and often for more. Selling your home?
