For Antelope Valley homeowners thinking about selling
Before anyone shakes your hand,
know the floor.
The Walkaway Number is the math: what the house sells for, minus what the agents take, minus what escrow takes, minus what the buyer asks back at the table, minus what you still owe the bank. Cash to you at signing.
Nine questions. Six seconds of math. Your number, written down, before any stranger gets to talk you into theirs.
Free. No call. No commitment. Sal reads every reply. Read the math first.
What the Walkaway Number is — and what it isn’t.
This is
- A number written down before any agent walks through your door.
- Math you can read line by line and check against your own paperwork.
- A floor and a ceiling, both honest, both signed in ink.
This isn’t
- A pitch dressed up as a free report.
- A number that gets you to sign tonight, not the number that’s true.
- A trick to put your phone on a list.
How it works.
Nine questions.
Home type, zip, when you bought, mortgage balance, timeline, rate, residency, filing, improvements. No name. No phone. No commitment.
Six seconds of math.
Eleven data points run against your zip’s 90-day median, current days-on-market trend, and the cost-of-sale brackets your neighbors actually paid this quarter.
A number you can take to any table.
Floor, midpoint, ceiling. Each line of the math named. So when an agent shows up with their version, you already know yours.
What you get.
Sample. Your numbers will be your numbers.

Why I built this.
I’m Sal Bermudez. California Department of Corrections Lieutenant by day, eighteen-plus years in. Compton kid. Two illegal immigrants from Jalisco built the house I grew up in — not the walls, the house. We lived poor and we lived with honor. Those aren’t opposites in my family.
Twenty years in the Antelope Valley I’ve watched the same script run at kitchen tables. The bilingual agent who feels like family gives the number that gets you to sign tonight, not the number that’s true. I built the Walkaway Number to be the thing that stands between you and that number.
I’m not for rent. I’m de tu lado. That’s a position I take and I don’t move from.

The math is sourced.
Six of the eleven data points behind your number:
- 90-day zip-level median sale price
- Square footage and bed-count adjustment for your specific home
- 60-day days-on-market trend
- School-zone catchment adjustment
- Concession bracket pulled from the last 30 closed deals in your zip
- Mortgage payoff midpoint from the range you select
What people ask before they run it.
Yes. No card, no hidden upsell, no “unlock the rest of your report” wall. The full math is in the report you get on the next screen.
No. We ask for an email so the report has somewhere to live. A phone is optional. If you give one, you choose whether to opt into texts. The default is no.
No estimate is a guarantee. The number is the math of what your home is likely to sell for and what gets taken out on the way to your account, based on your zip’s 90-day data. Inspection findings, buyer demand, and negotiation move the final dollar. The point of the number is that you walk in knowing the floor.
Five would make the number a guess. Twelve would make most people quit. Nine is the smallest set that lets us compute the four cost-of-sale lines and the capital-gains exposure honestly.
The math runs anywhere in California, but the cost-of-sale brackets are calibrated against AV closings. Outside the AV, treat the number as a starting point and reply to the email I send you — I’ll tighten it.
Capital gains. The IRS shields up to $250,000 of gain on a primary residence ($500,000 if you file jointly), if you’ve owned and used the home for two of the last five years. Without those two answers, the report would either ignore the shield (and scare you for no reason) or pretend everyone qualifies (and lie). We’d rather ask.
The Walkaway Number is the math.
is the script.
One of them tells you the truth before anyone shakes your hand. The other tells you the number that gets you to sign tonight. Run yours before someone else hands you theirs.
