Selling in North Hills or the 91343 side of Granada Hills? Steve Hise and Tricia Garcia show you what your home is worth, what you'll walk away with after Los Angeles transfer taxes, and exactly how we'll sell it, before you sign anything.
We're Steve Hise and Tricia Garcia, a brother-and-sister team at eXp Realty with about 20 years of combined experience. We've helped hundreds of families buy and sell across the San Fernando Valley and Ventura County.
Recent sales that match your home, so the number reflects your street, not the whole zip code.
What you'd walk away with after commission, escrow, title, and the county and city transfer taxes.
A target price with our reasoning, and an honest list of which fixes pay off. Older homes here often raise questions about pipes, panels, and permits.
Photos, video, and marketing built for your home, then we manage offers, escrow, and every detail.
Most selling costs are the same anywhere in Southern California: the agent commission (negotiable), escrow and title fees, and any repairs or credits. The big difference in North Hills is the transfer tax, because it's inside the City of Los Angeles.
| Transfer tax | Rate | On an $800,000 sale |
|---|---|---|
| Los Angeles County | $1.10 per $1,000 | $880 |
| City of Los Angeles | $4.50 per $1,000 ($2.25 per $500) | $3,600 |
| Total | $5.60 per $1,000 | $4,480 |
Measure ULA only affects high-priced sales. For sales closing on or after July 1, 2026, it adds 4% of the full price on sales above $5,400,000 and below $10,900,000, and 5.5% at $10,900,000 or more. In the Los Angeles area the seller customarily pays the transfer taxes, but it's negotiable.
For comparison, a Simi Valley sale pays only the Ventura County rate of $1.10 per $1,000. See what it costs to sell in Simi Valley.
