A strategic and
personalized approach to
selling your home.
Selling your home successfully takes careful planning and coordinated steps. From preparing your property to marketing, negotiating, and closing – every detail matters. That's where I come in. I'll be by your side, guiding you through each stage, navigating any obstacles and ensuring an enriching path to closing. Below, you’ll see how we’ll work together to craft this strategy, achieve maximum exposure, and negotiate effectively to get you the best results.
First, let's define
your goals for
selling your home.
Our first step in the process of selling your home is understanding your objectives. Are you looking to make a specific profit so that you can purchase a larger or upgraded home? Do you need to sell quickly to facilitate a move to a new area? Together, we'll work to understand your needs, which will guide me in creating a tailored selling strategy. Once we define these objectives, I’ll ensure our pricing, preparation and marketing approach aligns perfectly with what you’re looking to achieve.

of selling your home.

During our initial meeting and consultation, it’s paramount for me to understand your goals. I’ll spend time listening and we’ll tour your property. We will discuss valuation, a pricing strategy, a pre-marketing plan, and the most favorable terms for you as the seller. Lastly, we’ll complete our listing agreement together.
-
Unless you’ve kept your home like an interior designer’s showroom, we will want to discuss what improvements to consider. Strategic improvements include painting, staging with furniture and art, yard work, organization and cleaning. Such improvements go a long way in driving up value. What we do will be based on your goals and what you’re comfortable with.
Importantly, trust that I will manage the entire process.

Once the property is ready, I’ll have photography taken, a floorplan made, a website, online digital advertising assets, and printed materials. I don’t just use the MLS to market my listings. I also advertise online and on social media, through our Vanguard Properties’ local and coast-to-coast national network, and much more.

Our listing price will be finalized just before launch and all our marketing assets will be ready to go. I’ll present the property at our office marketing meeting and send out a coming soon to all Bay Area real estate agents and brokerages. I’ll hold a broker’s tour and regular open houses. All private showing requests and communication will be addressed immediately. All activity and feedback will be monitored. You’ll be kept informed on a regular basis.
