My name is Geremy Yamamoto, and I’m the Founder of Eazy House Sale. I am passionate about real estate, creative problem-solving, and helping homeowners find simple solutions to complex property situations. I focus on buying houses and small multifamily properties throughout Los Angeles, especially those with potential to add value through thoughtful renovations and strong management—while giving sellers a fast, stress-free way to move on from unwanted properties.

I started in the early 2000s building for the web — back when coding and digital product design were still wide open terrain. After relocating from Naples to Aventura, FL and going through real estate deals myself, I saw how disconnected and inefficient the process was: pricing made little sense, data lacked structure, and even seasoned buyers couldn’t compare communities with confidence. That pain became the blueprint. Over the next 20 years, I turned Best of Luxury Realty into a working prototype — a long-term test bed for what the real estate experience should be: intelligent, transparent, and hyperlocal. Today, that vision lives in two ventures: • Subdivisions.com – the structured data layer for real estate, organizing search and analytics around actual neighborhoods and subdivisions — not just ZIP codes. • Hyperlocal Advisor – an AI-native brokerage designed from the ground up to empower high-performance agents with local market intelligence and automated lead generation. This isn’t about layering tech on a broken system. It’s about rebuilding real estate from the bottom up — with data, design, and execution that actually works for those who live it every day.
