"We highly recommend working with Costanza. She was highly professional and knowledgable and her expertise was crucial to selling our house in a difficult market."
"I had a great experience working with Costanza. My situation was very complex given that I was an out of state seller. She handled everything I needed and went above and beyond what most realtors would be required to do."

I sell homes for a living. I am somehow still terrible at selling my own. 😅
600+ transactions. $500M+ in career sales. And when I listed my own condo, I turned into a full-blown nervous client — checking my phone, second-guessing the price, convinced nobody would show up.
I underpriced it on purpose (a strategy that …

That's what Measure ULA — California's so-called mansion tax — costs sellers right now. And a statewide ballot fight in November will determine whether any city in California can ever do the same.

The sellers I see leave money on the table are almost always the ones who rushed.
After 600+ closed sales in Long Beach, here's what I know about getting a home ready to list:

🇮🇹🇺🇸 I was born in Rome. I became an American citizen at 14 years old.
And every single Fourth of July — I genuinely celebrate.
There is something that happens when you choose this country — when your family chooses it — that I think is different from being born into it. You feel the weight of it and the gift of it at the same time.
The freedom to build something here. The freedom to own a home here. The freedom to plant roots wherever you choose.
That last one is something I get to be part of every single day as a real estate agent in Southern California.
Whether you are buying your first home in Long Beach or selling a property your family has cherished for decades — that is not just a transaction. That is someone exercising one of the most fundamental freedoms this country offers.
From my family to yours — Happy Fourth of July. 🎆
I am Costanza Genoese Zerbi, RealTrends Verified Top Agent in Southern California, serving Long Beach, the South Bay, greater Los Angeles, and Orange County.

I underpriced it on purpose (a strategy that works!) and still spiraled anyway. Doctors make the worst patients. Turns out realtors make the worst sellers. 🙃
Update: it's in escrow. The strategy worked. My nerves were, as usual, dramatic.
If you're selling and want an agent who's genuinely felt every bit of the anxiety you're about to feel — that's me. Link in bio. 🏡

Meet Cashew, head of my "security team." Apparently, her investigative technique is getting as close to the camera as physically possible. I still don't know who's digging up my plants... but I do know who loves the spotlight.
It got me thinking...
Whether it's protecting a backyard or protecting one of the biggest investments you'll ever make, details matter. I'm always watching the market, paying attention to what others miss, and staying one step ahead so my clients don't have to.
That's the difference between just putting a sign in the yard... and having someone who truly watches over your sale from start to finish.
🏡 600+ homes sold
💰 $501M+ in closed sales
⭐ Top 1.5% Nationwide – RealTrends Verified

If you're thinking about buying or selling in Long Beach, Naples, Belmont Shore, Seal Beach, Lakewood, Los Alamitos, Rossmoor, Huntington Beach, or anywhere in Southern California, I'd love to help.
Now... if anyone has tips on identifying the REAL landscaping criminal, Cashew and I are taking leads. 😂🐾

$240,000. At closing. On a $6M sale in the City of Los Angeles.
That's what Measure ULA — California's so-called mansion tax — costs sellers right now. And a statewide ballot fight in November will determine whether any city in California can ever do the same.
The Howard Jarvis Local Taxpayer Protection Act qualified for the November 2026 ballot this spring. If it passes, Measure ULA gets wound down within two years. No California city could ever raise transfer taxes significantly without a ⅔ supermajority vote.
This week, a competing bill — AB 736 — was introduced in Sacramento as a compromise. Howard Jarvis says they're staying on the ballot.
If you own real estate in Southern California, this fight matters. Long Beach, South Bay, OC — none of you are subject to Measure ULA today. November determines whether that protection holds going forward.

The sellers I see leave money on the table are almost always the ones who rushed.
After 600+ closed sales in Long Beach, here's what I know about getting a home ready to list:
🎨 Fresh interior paint is the single highest-return improvement you can make. Full stop.
🪵 Refinished hardwood or new carpet if yours are tired.
🌿 Curb appeal — the first impression happens before anyone walks through the door.
📸 Staged homes photograph better, and photography is your first showing. Buyers are deciding whether to tour your home based on online photos before they ever step inside.
And here's what NOT to do: a full kitchen remodel right before listing is almost never worth it. You will not recoup a hundred-thousand-dollar renovation — especially because the buyer is going to change it to their taste anyway.
One thing that's specific to Long Beach: lean into your home's architectural character. If you have a Spanish Revival, don't sand it down to look contemporary. If you have a midcentury modern, keep the bones intact. Buyers come to these neighborhoods looking for exactly that.

🏡 PENDING — and this one came with a story I didn't see coming.
9721 Orangewood Ave, Garden Grove is under contract — and when I went to put the pending rider on my sign today, my clients told me something that stopped me in my tracks.
Her parents bought this home directly from the original developer when it was first built in 1956. That hand-painted "For Sale" sign I'm holding? That's the one that went into the ground back then. Mine is only the second For Sale sign this property has ever seen. 🪧
Nearly 70 years. One family. One home. And now a new chapter.
This is why I do what I do. Real estate isn't just transactions — it's the story of a family's life. It's roots. It's legacy. And it is my honor to be trusted with that.
$1,349,980 | 3 BD | 3 BA | 2,026 SF | Garden Grove, Orange County
If you're thinking about buying or selling in Orange County or anywhere across Southern California — I'd love to bring this kind of care and expertise to your story too.
