Home is more than a roof over our heads.
It’s the place we go to feel safe. It’s where
we shared precious memories with those we love. It is, in a very literal sense,
a part of the family.
Letting go of home isn’t easy. For starters,
you can’t stop worrying about who will buy it, if they will care for it as much
as you do. Then, you have to decide which repairs are worth the investment, and
which are nice to have but unnecessary. And finally, there’s the stress of
getting it ready for showing, negotiating, and closing!
It takes years to master this process. Keep

Keep these things in mind as you prepare your
home for sale:
These repairs are a great investment!
Start with the kitchen. It’s one of the first
rooms buyers go to. A fresh coat of paint, replacing drab cabinets, adding a
touch of color, all these go a long way.
It doesn’t have to be expensive. You can
easily think of something to do with whatever budget you have, be it a couple
hundred dollars or a few thousand.
The bathrooms are next, especially the
master’s bathroom. Check the caulking, the grout, the tiles, the glass, drains,
faucets, hard water stains, and everything. These are an indication of the
home’s state.
And never forget the exterior! A fresh
looking exterior will pull your buyers in the front door.
Take a look at the lawn, the front door, the
garage door, the windows, the curb, and also make sure to tidy up your kids’
playthings, too!
Great pictures go a long way these days.
People can make up their minds before even
seeing a property in person.
Consider investing in professional
photography. These professionals know how to put a home in its best light. They
consider the time of day, the season, and everything else in play.
Without fantastic shots, your home for sale
could go stale on the market as buyers “swipe left” the moment they see it.
Set the price right
Your home may be the most valuable thing in
the world to you, but for others, it’s just a house.
Setting your house way above its real value
is probably the number one way to keep it on the market forever. Buyers have
access to virtually every home in their desired area through the internet. They
can easily tell if your house is priced way above comparable listings.
My team of professional agents can prepare a
CMA, or comparative market analysis, for you. This CMA will compare the prices
of homes sold that are similar to yours, and also the prices of homes currently
for sale.
Doing this right will bring in buyers fast,
and before you know it, your home in Ruby Hill Pleasanton will be sold in no
time!
And all that’s left is to negotiate. With me
on your side, you can rest assured that I will care for your home as much as
you do. I want you to get the price you deserve, and I want to get it done as
soon as we can so you can move forward with life.
