Get the Straight Facts About What Can Make or Break the Sale of Your Home. Choose a Top Real Estate Agent.
How much is it REALLY worth? How long will it take to sell? How do you handle buyers making undesirable offers?
As a top San Luis Obispo and Pismo Beach area real estate agent, it is my job to guide you through this complicated process, from beginning to end. I want you to get the maximum value for your home, within YOUR time frame. Here are just some of the things that I will do to market and sell your home:
- Buyers want to buy your home for as little as possible! Through detailed comparisons between your home and recently sold homes, and other properties currently on the San Luis Obispo or Pismo Beach area markets, together we can determine what your home is really worth in today's market. In the industry this is called a Comparative Market Analysis or CMA. I will do this for you, for free.
- Buyers have their own timeline, which might not be yours! I make sure they don't waste your time by qualifying them as to their real ability to afford your home.
- More buyers interested in your San Luis Obsipo or Pismo Beach home means more money in your pocket when it is sold. My extensive marketing of your home assures you of maximum value. For example, this web site will market your property all across the web. It will appear on Yahoo, Google, Trulia, Realtor.com, and over 20 other top national sites. I can place your home on my web site within a few minutes time!
- When we begin marketing your home, I will immediately notify all the buyers that I am helping find their ideal home. I'll also notify all the real estate agents in this area that I work with, who quickly tell their home buyers. It is a powerful way to jump-start the sale of your home!
- You and I, or my professional stager, will walk through your home together. I will advise you how to present your property to maximize its selling price. Some improvements are worth it, and some are not! Be careful. The thing to remember is that once your home is on the market, you need to change your mindset and realize that it is no longer your home, but a prospective Buyers home.
- Contracts are complicated, and intimidating. You don't want to go to a closing with some doubts. If you ever have questions about anything in a contract, be sure to ask me. It is my job to know the contracts and help protect your interest!
You will have the full benefit of my San Luis Obispo and Pismo Beach real estate experience and knowledge for a smooth and successful closing. I recommend that you do not sign on any dotted lines without asking me first.
You pay no up front costs for my services! So you can bet that I will work hard to get your home sold, for as much as this market will possibly bear. I will also work within your time frame and your needs. For example, sometimes it can be hard to sell and move out of your current home, and buy and move into a new home, all at the same time! I can help smooth this out.
Call or email me. Ask for a free In-Home Presentation. I will come to your San Luis Obispo or Pismo Beach area home or office, and present you a plan that details exactly how I will market your home. There is absolutely no obligation so don't let this opportunity pass. It is part of my job as a top real estate agent to offer you this service.
Ask me ANY question about selling your home or property. Or request my FREE in-home presentation of how I would market your property in San Luis Obispo and Pismo Beach area! There's no obligation, and I promise to get back to you quickly so contact me now!

Short Sales- Avoid Foreclosure
Homeowners across the country are finding themselves faced with very difficult decisions because their mortgage balance is higher than the value of their home. If you find that you need to sell your home and your loan balance is too high, what do you do?
That's where I can help!
Our office has helped hundreds of homeowners by working out a solution with the mortgage holder that allows the home to be sold.
The Benefits
- Your home gets sold and the mortgage is fully paid off. The mortgage lender accepts a discounted payoff.
- You have no out-of-pocket costs as the mortgage holder pays virtually all sales costs including title and escrow, commission, and approved property repairs.
- Your credit record is protected from a foreclosure.
- You can move forward with your life without having to worry about your house and your mortgage.
The Drawbacks
-
You may get a 1099 from the lender for the amount that was forgiven, on which you could be taxed by the IRS. Please consult your attorney and/or tax advisor to see if this may apply to you.
