Justin Borges | Founder, The Borges Real Estate Team | Pasadena, CA

At The Borges Real Estate Team, we don’t just sell homes — we serve as trusted advisors guiding clients through major life transitions with care, clarity, and results. Based in Pasadena and serving Los Angeles County, including Altadena, Highland Park, Arcadia, and Downtown L.A., we specialize in helping sellers of Mid-Century Modern, Craftsman, Spanish Revival, and Victorian homes achieve top-dollar outcomes — whether they’re local or across the country. With over 13 years in the industry and more than $200 million in career sales, we’ve maintained a 106% average list-to-sale price ratio and grown our business by 70% year-over-year for three straight years. We combine strategic pricing, architectural expertise, and high-touch communication to deliver an experience that consistently earns client referrals — which now make up over 60% of our business.

We Specialize In:

• Architectural & Character Homes: From restored 1890s Victorians to sleek Mid-Century Modern estates, we know how to market design-forward homes to the right buyers — and how to maximize perceived value.

• Probate, Trust & Inherited Property Sales: With deep experience navigating legal timelines, court approvals, and family dynamics, we simplify complex sales with compassion and confidence.

• Remote & Out-of-Area Seller Services: From full-service prep and project management to weekly Zoom check-ins and video updates, we help clients sell homes in L.A. from anywhere in the world.

• Strategic Relocations & Life Transitions: Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or investing, we structure every move around your goals — and back it with real data.

Helping Sellers Time the Market

We don’t just list homes — we help clients make smart, timing-based decisions. That starts with a consultative review of market metrics, a risk-reward analysis, and clarity around your financial position — including mortgage terms, interest rates, and long-term goals. We walk through best- and worst-case scenarios so you can move forward when the numbers truly make sense.

Our Offer Strategy: Built on Leverage + Buyer Psychology

We create leverage from the start by pricing homes to attract demand, then educate sellers on how buyers think — based on our experience representing both sides. Our 10-day listing blitz and strategic offer deadlines after open houses routinely net 2% more by creating competition and urgency.

Clients for Life: A Trust-Based Referral Network

One of our most meaningful relationships began by helping a family sell their father’s home in La Palma. That led to four more sales across generations and cities — and a referral to a best friend navigating a probate estate. These types of multi-property, multi-generational referrals are the heart of our business and a reflection of the trust we earn every day.

Selling from Afar? We’ve Got You Covered.

We frequently help out-of-area clients manage inherited or probate properties in Los Angeles. Our team handles:

• Cleanouts, repairs, and renovations

• Staging, photography, and showings

• Vendor coordination and project management

• Transparent weekly updates via video and Zoom

One client based in Maine sold a probate property in Calabasas with us without ever flying in. We managed the process start to finish — and sold the home for $145,000 over asking (114.8% of list price).

Your Advantage: A Fully Supported Team

We’re not a one-person show. Our team includes:

• A dedicated operations manager for timelines, paperwork, and compliance

• A listing coordinator for staging, vendors, and open house prep

• A project manager for home improvements and renovations

• Showing assistants for fast buyer access

• Buyer specialists for concierge home search support

This means faster results, fewer delays, and a smoother experience from start to finish.
