list -> negotiate -> close
As a premier listing agent in the Marin real estate industry for over thirty years, I believe it is an honor to guide my clients from the listing of their home, through negotiations and on to closing. I attribute my skill and thoroughness to a number of factors.
STRENGTH in NUMBERS
Teamwork with other professionals is essential in the current market. Having worked in Marin County for over 35 years, I have cultivated a strong networking group both inside and outside of the county. I continuously update my resource materials and databases, keeping abreast of the latest statistics on local schools and community services. I am fortunate to have a top notch team to work with, offering the best service I can provide to my clients:
With an expertise in achieving maximum value and in-depth knowledge of the many unique neighborhoods and micro-markets in Marin, we’ll give you an honest assessment of your home’s value and help you price it accurately. Beyond the nature and condition of the home itself, there are many factors that may impact the ultimate price. Variables such as neighborhood, proximity to services, views, schools, and commute distance to San Francisco & the Peninsula will will all help determine value. We will take careful stock of each attribute when approaching a strategic listing price. Underpricing your home could mean leaving money on the table, while overpriced properties can languish on the market. No single factor is more important when selling a home.
PREPARATION
Before that first prospective buyer walks through the door, you will want to make sure your home is ready to inspire and impress. In addition to basic steps cleaning and eliminating clutter, it may be prudent to take further steps. In my over my 30 years selling in the Marin market, I have gathered a talented group of stagers, contractors, and tradespeople who perform top quality work at reasonable prices. I’ll provide expert advice to help you determine which improvements to consider prior to bringing your home on the market.
MARKETING
The goal when marketing a home is to expose it to the widest pool of qualified buyers. I know what it takes to get your property noticed. Studies show that more than 85% of buyers start their search online, so we’ll make sure your home has the right presence on the top real estate websites. I also believe in the importance of networking, so I’ll use my relationships with other top agents to personally get the word out to the most productive Realtors in the area. I believe every home we represent deserves to be treated like a luxury property, from cottages to estates. I’ll design a stylish, full color, fold-out flyer that will make your home stand out. All of my listings are shot by professional photographers with years of experience at capturing the best in every property. My paramount objective is to enable you to sell your home in the shortest time possible, for the highest price.
NEGOTIATE ONCE
In addition to pre-qualifying prospective buyers, I cannot stress enough the importance of a prepared package for the right buyer in order to avoid any unforeseen complications, A solid package should contain the following:
