Sandy Bruce is a respected realtor with 9+ years of selling experience and has been recognized with awards in achievement for each consecutive year. Born in Southern California but raised in Oklahoma, Sandy has captured the Los Angeles confidence, the manners of the Mid-West, and relaxed feel of the South Bay. Growing up she spent every summer with family in Southern California enjoying everything the South Bay has to offer! Having permanently resided in the South Bay for over 25 years, she has a solid knowledge of the areas and its offerings.
Sandy, alumni of the University of Southern California, has worked extensively in Corporate America which allowed her the opportunity to develop her communication and negotiation skills. Sandy held positions that provided the opportunity to work with people from all over the country. This experience has given her the skills to understand different perspectives and perceptions and work to find the appropriate solution.
When not searching for the next property gem, Sandy spends time with her two children, traveling, or trying new restaurants with friends. Sandy is an avid reader and is always looking for a good book suggestion.
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
I had the pleasure of meeting Sandy Bruce at an open house in our desired neighborhood last summer, and was impressed by her professionalism while at the same time being so genuinely friendly. We stayed in touch and when we were ready to buy a house a few months later we called Sandy. There were no surprises, no disappointments, just excellent service in every way! My family and I couldn’t have been more happy that we chose Sandy to represent us, and will not hesitate to call the next time we are looking at property in the South Bay, either to buy or sell. — Christi
T.Sandy Bruce clearly cares about what she does and really enjoys it, and it shows with how thorough she is when showing and recommending properties. I was able to list everything that I had to have, or would really like to have, and every house she recommended was fantastic! She was also able to find out small things about the houses and bring them to light, such as parking oddities (like you couldn’t park on the street during certain times due to street sweeping), or if a house needed some work. Not only that, but she was only a text away when I had a question. Excellent communication! She also set up a portal online where houses would automatically be loaded based on what I told her I was looking for, and it was super easy to use. As a military person moving cross country, having Sandy in my corner was truly a blessing - I could not have done this without her! Overall, I highly recommend her based on her experience, passion, great attitude and wonderful communication! — Anthony P.
The sale of our Southwood home was quick and handled with professionalism and great care by both Diane and Sandy. Our transaction had some challenging circumstances but with their teamwork, escrow closed without a hitch. Sandy’s great networking brought our next home in to her path and she sealed the deal on that for us in 1 day! Sandy was extremely responsive and available when we had questions, going above and beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend them! You will not be disappointed! — Kim Strauss
Sandy was amazing. As a first time home buyer, I felt like I was in good hands with Sandy. She had a lot of expertise of the South Bay and shared her wealth of knowledge generously. Buying a house during the peak of a seller’s market was stressful and frustrating, but I knew that it would’ve been much more difficult without Sandy’s guidance. She would be honest with the pros and cons of every house and neighborhood. She had compassion with the ups and downs of the house hunting. I loved how she was quick to respond to anything that was needed and made herself readily available, even at a minute’s notice. During the pandemic, scheduling an appointment to see a property was madness, but Sandy was able to always get it done in the most efficient way. I was thankful that she would try to squeeze in as many properties in a day, but still consider the time it takes to drive between each house. She would try to minimize the time between viewings so there would be no wasted time standing idly by. It was probably the most chaotic season of the housing market in years, but thank you, Sandy, for making it all happen. — J. L.

OUR DESIGNS STANDOUT
From brochures and postcards to social media and emails, our marketing collateral effectively communicates your property’s story and attracts more potential buyers.
THE POWER OF PHOTOGRAPHY IMAGERY
PHOTOGRAPHING YOUR LISTING
Beautiful photography is one of the most powerful tools for selling your home. RE/MAX uses best-in-class photographers to show your home in its best light, make a positive first impression, and attract more buyers.
FIX NOW. PAY WHEN YOU SELL.
WHY CURBIO ?
Curbio is the pre-sale home improvement company that helps you make significantly more money on the sale of your home, without the hassle or upfront costs of working with a traditional home improvement company.
With Curbio, your home will be transformed into the move-in-ready home buyers are looking for, and you don’t pay us until you sell your home.
LEAVE THE CLOSING TABLE WITH MORE MONEY
Homes that are outdated or in need of repair attract low-ball offers and sit on the market. Instead of eliminating potential buyers or selling cheap, let Curbio help. Our improvements are designed to appeal to buyers, increase sale price, and maximize net proceeds by an average of $80k.
AVOID THE STRESS OF TYPICAL HOME IMPROVEMENT
Curbio’s turnkey updates are easy and painless for everyone involved. Your Curbio Project Manager will oversee the work, so you won’t need to lift a finger - and, of course, you won’t pay a dime until closing.
GET TO THE CLOSING TABLE QUICKLY
We use technology and our national partnerships to provide estimates quickly, condense project timelines, and finish projects on time and to quality. Plus, Curbio has curated a portfolio of materials that are high-quality, in-stock, and ready-to-ship for your project.
MARKET ANALYSIS
A real estate market analysis, also known as a comparative market analysis, is an analysis of current market values of properties, comparable to a property you are looking to buy or sell.
This report should always be done, whether buying or selling a property, as it will help to understand the current market, how much similar properties are worth, if it is an investment property or how much you can charge for rent.
As your agent I will create reports to help you set a list price for your home and, less frequently, to help buyers make competitive offers.
THE MARKETING LOOKING AT
HOW DO I COMPARE?
• Sale Prices
• Beds/Baths
• Square Footage
• Lot Size
• Location
EMOTIONAL IMPACT
• View
• Age
• Amenities
• Condition
Your home’s value is also determined by the emotional impact it has on potential buyers. These emotions are based on design elements of your home such as recent upgrades, views, curb appeal and interior colors.
WINDOW
OF OPPORTUNITY
Sellers often make the mistake of wanting to price their homes high at the start, with the assumption that they can always reduce the price to a more realistic level later.
Tactical pricing isn’t about getting the most for your home — it’s about getting your home sold quickly at fair market value
SWEET SPOT
THE AGREEMENT
The agreement is a legally binding agreement that governs the purchase and sale of a property. Made between a buyer and seller, it defines the terms of the transaction, and the conditions under which a sale will occur.
If this all sounds overwhelming to you, don’t worry;
I will guide you through each step.
OFFER TIME
NOW WHAT ?
ANALYZE
Look over the terms and conditions of the offer.
REASONING
What is the buyer’s motivation for the offer?
COST
Can the buyer afford it?
TIMING
Does the timing match?
