Real Estate Home Values Are Always Changing. What’s Your Home Worth Today?
Preparing your home for sale involves many detailed steps, starting with decluttering and pre-market conditioning of the home. We discuss the paint, floors and any notable structural or system deficiencies that need to be updated. Together we create a plan that fits within a determined budget.
Once repairs are completed, we set the stage for a great marketing campaign with professional staging. Staging helps with creating exceptional images, but also allows buyers to really take time and enjoy the property. It helps create a sense of space and a life that is easily envisioned by the buyers. If the budget is thin, then we will discuss Virtual Staging.
Professional photographs are always needed for the exceptional homes on Marin County and San Francisco. Photoshoots are set to maximize the natural lighting within the property and out. We also use drones to cover video and photography which creates stunning marketing imagery.
The listing price on the home might not determine the overall value of a home, that is often determined by what a buyer is willing to pay for it. So, in knowing this, we want to price the home effectively to both attract buyers as well as create value in the eyes of a buyer. We want to show more value compared to the competition.
Effective marketing strategies can significantly impact the sale of a house in San Francisco and in Marin County especially. We want to highlight the home’s unique features, those areas that make the property really stand out.
We create more traditional marketing materials such as the MLS listing, flyers, postcards, QR codes. However, to really push the property to the masses, the most effective way to bring attention to your home is through paid social media. Not just social posts, we pay for advertising to promote your property onto different platforms and drive eyeballs to your home.
Selling your home effectively takes skills, negotiating offers requires expertise, especially in our competitive markets. My team and I work hard for our clients to maximize the value of their homes in San Francisco and in Marin, we do this every day.

Exceptional Service is Always My #1 Goal
If you understand your motives, you will be able to better negotiate and to get what it is that you want, whether it be a quick sale, high price, or somewhere in the middle.
Make sure that your Realtor understands those items most important to you, that they are loyal to you, and can negotiate to help you achieve your goals. In addition, they should be assertive and honest with both you and the buyer.
Be honest and complete with your disclosures; you do not want to fall out of contract based on lack of disclosure or new discovery of material facts. Insist the buyers get a professional inspection if you have not already provided. This will protect both you and the buyer.
Maximize the strengths of your property and fix up its weaknesses. You want the buyer to walk away from your home with a lasting good impression with the confidence that your home is everything it should and could be for them.
Position your home to attract multiple interested buyers with a robust marketing campaign, create an environment for buyers to compete offering best price and terms possible.
We are always looking for leverage we can use within the deal, and all deals are different. The subtle art of negotiation is where the juice is for me.
