Selling Your Home

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage CalBRE#: 01945887

You love your San Diego home! The beautiful memories are precious. However, when you decide to sell your home there are several factors that are important to consider to make sure it sells fast and does not sit on the market while your neighbors sell their homes.

You need to see the home from the buyer's perspective, not yours. Remember that simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance according to Coco Chanel. Keep only the essential furniture. If the room is not spacious, then one love seat in a room might be enough. Don't forget to decorate it with a faux fur throw to make it look more tasteful. To add space to a smaller room, it might be a good idea to place furniture against the wall. Plan a clear path for buyers to walk through the home. Always leave enough room for buyers to walk around the room without any detours.

 

Keep it simple and warm! Earth colors with few colorful decorative items gives your home a warm feeling. You want the buyer to connect with your home, a warm atmosphere helps her/him feel at home. Cream colored walls help create a beautiful contrast with the furniture. I like to decorate homes I sell with colorful ceramic vases. If your home gets enough natural light then you can use a slightly darker paint or wallpaper and don't forget the decorative vases and flower arrangements.

Welcome to Active Rain Randa El Jurdi!

As REALTORS® who have been here for almost 10 years, it's well worth it!

We wish you great success with your blog posts and networking with other members of Active Rain!

We clicked the “Follow” button on your profile so that we will be alerted to your future blog posts and can read and comment on them, and we invite you to "follow us" - should you be interested - by clicking the “Follow” button you see underneath our photo to the left. There is no requirement or obligation for you to do so, but we would be honored if you choose to do so!

Being “Followed” by another member gains you 50 points, and following another member gains you 10 points.

Once you reach 500,000 points you are entitled to a FREE Rainmaker account.

More information on the Active Rain points system can be found at this post:

This will tell you what activities in the ‘Rain earn points.

If you have a free “Rainer” account, your visibility is limited to Active Rain members.  You may want to seriously consider upgrading your account to Rainmaker if you plan to stick around in the 'Rain!

If you have a “Rainmaker” account, your blog posts will be visible to the public - a very good thing.  You will get the most “bang for your buck” if you “optimize” your blog posts. More information about how to optimize your blog posts can be found at this link:

If you are currently paying for a Rainmaker account - then the sooner you reach the 500,000 point mark, the better for your wallet!

As we mentioned earlier, one of the best ways to get started is to read through blog posts and questions, identify members who you like to read, follow them, comment on their posts or respond to their questions, and post or ask questions yourself!
