The strongest listings on the market right now
Los Angeles and Ventura County homes are working assets. Rentals, fixers, lots with room to build. Each one runs on different math, and you can know that math before you buy: comps, permits, rents, and a slow walk through the property.
Kurt Mellinger sits down with investors every week and runs that math with them. Talk to Kurt about off-market and value-add opportunities. Call 805-796-1793.

What is the Equity and Exit Report?
A free, personalized report that includes all three exit numbers (open market price, cash offer range, and cost of waiting), your Prop 19 tax position if applicable, and a net sheet showing what you walk away with after all fees. Delivered within the hour.
What areas does Ascension Estates serve?
We serve Los Angeles and Ventura Counties including Calabasas, Westlake Village, Hidden Hills, Thousand Oaks, Agoura Hills, Woodland Hills, Oak Park, Lake Sherwood, Manhattan Beach, Malibu, Santa Clarita, and the greater Los Angeles area.
Can I cancel my listing agreement?
Yes. Every listing with Ascension Estates is cancel-anytime. If you are ever unhappy, you can fire us in writing with no fee, no penalty, and no questions asked.
What are the three ways to sell a home?
Exit one: list on the open market for full exposure and highest price. Exit two: take a verified cash offer for speed and certainty. Exit three: wait with a plan that shows the projected cost or gain of delaying, including Prop 19 timing for homeowners 55 and older.
What is Prop 19 and how does it affect me?
Proposition 19 allows California homeowners aged 55 and older to transfer their current property tax basis to a new home anywhere in the state. This can save thousands per year in property taxes. Most homeowners don't know they qualify. Your Equity and Exit Report includes a full Prop 19 analysis.
How much does the report cost?
Nothing. The Equity and Exit Report is completely free with no obligation. Your information is never sold or shared.
Who is behind Ascension Estates?
Ascension Estates is a residential real estate team led by Cade Cashman (DRE #02222044) and Kurt Mellinger (DRE #02238998), both licensed by the California Department of Real Estate under Equity Union Real Estate. You can verify any California real estate license at the DRE's public lookup: dre.ca.gov.
Are there any upfront fees or obligations?
No. There are no upfront fees to receive your Equity and Exit Report, and requesting one does not commit you to listing your home or working with us. If you do choose to list, every agreement is cancel-anytime in writing. You are never locked in.
