Value Proposition Part 4 of 4
(A September Active Rain Challenge)
Marketing Plan & Price Position
My #1 job as a Listing Agent is to create maximum exposure through my Custom Listing Marketing Plan and positioning my clients' properties to yield a higher sales price than it would have with any other agent or For Sale By Owner. Exposure creates interest, interest sparks demand, demand attracts multiple offers, multiple offers provide choices and opportunity!
A Yard Sign & MLS entry is not where this ends! Price positioning is key because the first two weeks are crucial market time; this is when the most experienced and ready-to-buy-buyers come through the property. … (3 comments)

listing: Solving Castle-$yndrome (Sellers, Let The Market Do The Talking)
- 09/29/17 11:47 PM
Value Proposition Part 2 of 4 (September Active Rain Challenge)
Pricing Advice for a seller is simple once mastered. Because it’s math and numbers do not lie. The challenge is it’s subjective math and sellers suffer from Castle-Syndrome, so their home always breaks the rules because “it’s the best Jerry, the best I tell-ya!” Seinfeld fans know the reference.
I simply use the appraiser’s method for non-investment properties in the residential market:
Subject Property: you must know this property for starters, so tour it and notate it’s location, condition and perks. And you’d better know that market it’s located in ie. you have been in … (1 comments)

Why Downsizing? Many people downsize when they retire, they plan to travel more, they may be relocating or just trying to lower expenses to work within their retirement budget. There are many other reasons though; "empty nesters" have too much house now that the kids are grown and gone for example. A spouse may have passed away or been moved to a care home.

$ Sellers Trading Up: sell small, buy big. A growing family, a skyrocketing career, an aging parent moving in and so on; all reasons people out grow their current home; seldom is it simply to have more square footage.
$ The HOT TOPIC! Do I Buy or Sell First? Ideally you can afford to buy, then sell. However, that's only about 40% of the sellers I serve; the majority need to sell in order to buy. There's no way to give this advice here, it would be irresponsible of me (or way … (3 comments)

Smart Tips For The San Diego, CA ANY Home Sellers
Many sellers have the impression that in order to sell a home, you just have to list it, especially since it's been a seller's market in most areas of CA since Q4 of 2011. While listing on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) is certainly part of the process, there’s quite a bit of preparation to undertake before your home’s listing goes “live” on the MLS.
Here are the steps to take when you’re thinking of selling your home. Selling is an emotional process, whether you’ve lived in the home for two years or 20 years. In … (8 comments)

listing: FAQ #5: What Can I do To Make Sure My home Sells for "Top Dollar"?
- 06/12/17 04:36 PM
I want top dollar for my home, how do I get it?
Top Dollar is what the market is willing to pay; that varies from market to market and ultimately is up to the market, not the seller nor the agent. But, you do take steps necessary to ensure best results, leave nothing to chance.
So, what sells a home 99% of the time, more than ANYTHING else? You're going to hate my answer, because everything I share beyond this first tip, constitutes the remaining 1%. Which is to say, not much else matters:
The answer is simple: Be Properly Priced. That's it! It's price! All … (7 comments)

Should I Inspect My Home Before I List It For Sale?
I get asked this a lot and here's the pro and the con and the logic of both:
PRO: If you perform your physical inspection and termite inspection prior to the listing going live "For Sale" on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service), you have the opportunity to make decisions that cost less pre-escrow.
PROs
repairs made with your choice of service providers plan to credit the buyer if the buyer asks in a buyer's request for repairs... at least you have your strategy set on how to handle them. defer them to the buyer, … (13 comments)

Dual Agency: the misunderstood,
beneficial process for our clients to win with!
I'm an 18 year CA Realtor veteran, I'm moral, ethical and work 100% by referral currently. I'm a dual agency advocate in CA, because we've always been that way here and I wouldn't know what other states are like. But, I can still call on and visit all my clients I've closed dual agency deals with, they think I'm great for what I accomplished for them. Some have been multiple deal clients at this point too, despite my "evil plot" to dual agency them at one point.

listing: Can You Show Me Other Broker's Listings in San Diego, CA?
- 03/10/17 03:51 AM
"Can You Show Me Other Broker's Listings?" is a common question I get. I'm always surprised by two things...
That I always assume my buyers (and sellers for that matter) know this. That they do not realize this. Assumptions are dangerous in sales, especially real estate.
Mr & Mrs. Buyer, I will show you any property on the market, meeting your criteria and budget, for sale through the MLS, websites, off market for sale, new construction, for sale by owner (cooperating) and even ones that are not for sale but I convince to consider selling for you!
Mr & Mrs. Seller, I do invite all brokerages and … (3 comments)

Preparing Your Home for a Physical Property Inspection in San Diego, CA
The evaluation of your home’s systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, solar, sprinklers, (limited) appliances, etc.) and structural components (roof, foundation, walls, windows, etc.) of your home and its general condition as it relates to the occupants' health & safety.
Buyers often ask me, “How will we know the true condition of this home? How do we know it’s not a money pit?”
My answer is of course: “It starts with a property inspection, which may lead to expertise inspectors: roofer, plumber, electrician, chimney, termite, mold, swimming pool, etc.”
Sellers often ask me, “Should we inspect … (1 comments)

Many people are going to buy or sell real estate this year to take advantage of low rates before they rise and to lock in on a home before the pop up further in price due to the inventory crunch.
Here's a Few Tips for To Consider Before You Begin:
Timing; stop trying to time the market. I see so many people try to anticipate the market or come up with crazy theories on why they should wait.The right time to buy or sell is when you are ready; your life is calling you to do so. Better school district, living closer o that new … (1 comments)

Castle-syndrome or is it SIN-drome?
We've all been there: It's 2015, The house was built in 1975, the second owners still live there and are now wanting to sell. They did a partial remodel in 1993 (the screened in porch, not to the kitchen) and they think it's the best on the block because of the updates and the unique breeze they get between 4:30pm and 4:45pm every day that none of the neighbors get!
