Vincent Serhan, MBAPERSONAL GUIDANCE. LOCAL PERSPECTIVE.
MEET VINCENTLocal roots.
Local roots.
A broader perspective.
I’m a Long Beach native, a father who raised his children in Palos Verdes, and now a Redondo Beach resident. These communities are part of my life, as well as my work.
My 27 years in real estate build on 20 years managing financial portfolios. I bring that perspective to inherited homes, trust and probate sales, income properties, and the decisions that shape a family’s next chapter.
With Vista Sotheby’s International Realty, I combine local knowledge with a broader network—and remain personally involved from our first conversation through closing.

A CLEAR PLAN, ONE STEP AT A TIMEFrom the first conversation
From the first conversation
to the next chapter.
Every property has its own story. We create a practical plan for yours, with clear decisions and personal communication along the way.
Understand the property.
Listen to the people.
We begin with your goals, the home’s condition, timing, and the people involved. I coordinate with your attorney, title, and escrow team so the real estate plan reflects the seller’s authority and the estate’s circumstances.
- Property walkthrough
- Market context
- Communication plan
Prepare with purpose.
Spend with perspective.
We compare selling in the home’s current condition with selected improvements. I help coordinate sorting, cleanout, repairs, inspections, and presentation with appropriate vendors. You review the scope and estimates before approving the work.
- Belongings & cleanout
- Targeted improvements
- Vendor coordination
Present the home well.
Price with intention.
Comparable properties, condition, and current competition inform the pricing strategy. Photography, thoughtful marketing, and an agreed showing plan introduce the home to the right audience. We review buyer response together and adjust when the evidence supports it.
- Pricing analysis
- Professional presentation
- Showing strategy
Consider the whole offer.
Stay connected to the finish.
Price is one part of the decision. I help you evaluate terms, contingencies, buyer qualifications, and timing, then coordinate the real estate transaction with escrow, title, and your advisers through closing.
- Offer review
- Negotiation
- Transaction coordination
