When we help you buy or sell a home, we get to know more than the property. We get to know what matters to you, what you’re hoping for and what this move means in your life.
We don’t want that connection to end when escrow closes.
We want you to feel comfortable calling us months or years later. Maybe you’re thinking about leasing your home. Maybe you need help figuring out who to call for a repair. Maybe your plans have changed, or you simply want to let us know how you’re settling in. You don’t need to be planning another move to stay in touch.
That’s what we mean by staying with you beyond the sale. We want to remain part of your life here in Malibu, long after the keys have changed hands.
You’re still our client after closing day
Buying or selling a home is personal. There are things you’re excited about, things you’re unsure of and plenty of details to work through. As we spend that time together, a relationship develops.
To us, it matters that you still have someone familiar to turn to afterward. Someone you can call with a question without feeling you need to start from the beginning or have a new transaction in mind.
Since founding 4 Malibu Real Estate in 2010, we’ve brought residential sales, leasing and property management together in one brokerage. For you, that means we can talk about the home you want to buy, the property you already own and the help you may need down the road.
Sometimes your plans change. We want to be part of that conversation.
The relationships that bring people back
One of the nicest things a client can do is come back to us when they need help again.
Amy Jerez describes working with Bobby on three real estate transactions in her Google review. She mentions the communication and advice she received through buying and selling. Being trusted more than once means a great deal to us. It gives us the chance to keep building on a relationship we already value.
Christina S. shares a different example in her testimonial on Danielle’s profile. Bobby and Danielle were her leasing agents for years before she chose them to list the same Malibu property for sale. Her needs changed, and the relationship continued.
Terry O. describes selling his Big Rock home while buying in the Point Dume Club. In his Google review, he talks about the team coordinating the timelines, contingencies, inspections and closing dates for both transactions. With so much happening at once, having people who understand the whole picture matters.
We’re grateful to these clients for sharing their experiences. They remind us how much trust goes into asking someone to help with your home.
Familiar faces, whenever you need us
When you reach out to 4 Malibu, we want you to know the people you’re talking to.
Bobby LehmKuhl and Danielle Dutcher are our Brokers / Partners. Bobby’s work includes residential sales, estate leasing and property management. Danielle works in sales, leasing, property management and marketing. Andy Lyon, our Associate / Partner, focuses on Malibu Colony and coastal homes, including beachfront and bluff-top properties.
You can get to know us on our Meet the Team page. But you don’t need to decide who to call before reaching out. Tell us what’s on your mind, and we’ll help you find the right place to start.
Helping you care for the home you love
For some clients, staying connected means having us involved in the ongoing care of their property.
If you’re away from Malibu, considering a lease or ready for help with the everyday responsibilities of ownership, we can talk through our property management services. Depending on what you need, those services can include leasing support, tenant communication, maintenance coordination, property checks and financial reporting.
It’s practical work, but it’s personal, too. It’s your home. You want to know who is looking after it, what needs attention and whom to call when you have a question.
When renovations or construction are part of the plan, we can help coordinate outside contractors. Those providers perform the construction work, with responsibilities defined for the project. We’ll talk through the scope and fees for any ongoing management or project coordination so you know what you’re choosing.
And if you’re simply looking for a starting point, call us. We can talk about what you need and how we may be able to help.
You don’t need a reason to say hello
If we’ve worked together before, we’d love to hear how you’re doing. Tell us how the house is feeling, what’s changed or what you’re thinking about next.
If we haven’t met, we’d love to get to know you, too.
Our hope is that you’ll think of us as people you can turn to, whether you’re making a big decision about your home or just have a question. Closing day is one part of our time together. We want the relationship to last well beyond it.
Call 310.456.0220 or email info@4malibu.com. We’d love to hear from you.
