1831 Barry Ave #4 — Strategic Resilience and Zero-Credit Leverage in West LA
01 · The Situation
Where this started.
Selling from another state requires more than a sign in the yard. For the Oregon-based owners of 1831 Barry Ave #4, Chloe Misisco and Pardee Properties became the local team managing the moving parts: staging, buyer activity, escrow setbacks, a last-minute leak, contractor coordination, and a late $15k+ credit request. After the property moved through three escrows, Chloe kept showing the home, secured a strong backup offer, and used that leverage to hold firm at $0 in buyer credits, protecting the sellers’ position and getting the sale across the finish line.
-
Out-of-state sellers interviewing multiple agents remotely — selected Pardee after a single strategy Zoom for transparent guidance and strategic Westside expertise.
02 · The Challenge
What made it complicated.
-
Remote sellers based in Oregon required total trust, high-touch communication, and seamless local coordination.
-
Deal fell out of escrow twice due to complex lender guidelines, city requirements, and HOA complications.
-
A ceiling leak originating from an upstairs unit occurred just days before the final target closing date.
-
Primary buyer submitted a late $15k+ repair credit request, threatening seller proceeds near the finish line.
03 · What Pardee Did
-
-
Targeted Staging – Professionally staged the condo to elevate visual appeal and generate immediate initial multiple offers.
-
Continuous Marketing - Kept showing the property throughout the third escrow to build an active safety net and leverage point.
-
Secured Active Backup – Locked in a fully qualified backup offer while under contract to ensure total seller insulation.
-
Firm Zero-Credit Stance - Used the backup offer position to issue a Notice to Perform (NTP) and reject the $15k+ credit request entirely, with $0 granted.
-
Remote-Seller Coordination - Coordinated staging, contractor access, leak-related cleanup, and closing-day property readiness on behalf of the out-of-state clients.
-

Complete Leverage Retained - Buyer agreed to $0 in credits and proceeded to close despite their initial $15k+ request.
