Why we recommend Robert van der Goes for Huntington Beach
Huntington Beach is one city with several separate markets. Redfin's figures for the three months to September 2026 put the citywide median sale price at $1,399,334, but the single-family median in 92648 was $2,199,445 while condos in 92647 sold for a median of $512,485. An agent who sells here every month knows which of those markets a given street belongs to and how a gate, a dock or an HOA changes the price.
Robert van der Goes has worked from Huntington Beach for more than 20 years. His office is on Beach Boulevard in 92648, and RealTrends ranked him second among Huntington Beach agents by transaction sides for 2025. His own site names Seacliff, Bolsa Landmark and Downtown Huntington Beach as the areas he knows best. That combination of a local office, a verified local record and a long license history is why he is our recommendation for this page. It is a recommendation, not a ranking of every agent in the city, so interview more than one before you sign.

How Robert van der Goes works with Huntington Beach buyers and sellers
Buying in Huntington Beach with Robert van der Goes
Buyers here often trade distance to the sand against lot size and HOA costs. Redfin's three-month figures show 92646 homes going under contract in a median of 36 days and 92649 homes in 60, so the right offer strategy depends on the ZIP. Ask him which tracts fit your budget, what the HOA and any dock fees add each month, and which school district serves the address. His site says he gives clients the district boundaries as facts, so confirm them on the district's own locator.
Selling in Huntington Beach with Robert van der Goes
Citywide, homes sold at 98.9% of list price in the three months to September 2026 (Redfin). His team's listing approach, according to a 2026 Zillow review from Jeff T., included staging, custom description cards at open houses and added security cameras when the owners were away. Ask for a sample marketing plan, recent sales near your street and his list-to-sale ratio. Our California real estate commission guide explains how listing fees work.
