How Can You Sell for Top Dollar in Southern California?


You can't hope to sell your home for a lot of money simply by pricing it high. In fact, when you price your home higher, you're more likely to get less money for it - if your home even sells at all.

When you go to sell your home, you cannot hope to put a large price tag on it and for it to sell well. Buyers simply do not respond to overpriced homes, and you need a much more complex strategy that will price your home at an attractive and fair market value. 

In the last seven years that I've been doing business, my list price to sale price ratio has been 103%, which means that I get people 3% more money for their homes, and this can add up to thousands of extra dollars in their pocket. 

One way that we accomplish this is by doing a comparative market analysis on your home to find what similar properties are selling for. We take into account many different aspects of your home, and we then decide what an appropriate price may be for your home.

The sweet spot when pricing is to price just below the market value, and then to have that attractive price bring buyers in and have them fight over your property. The end result is a bidding war where hopefully your home sells for much more than the original asking price. 

Pricing a home attractively takes a deep knowledge of a local market, and I have been in Southern California for quite some time now. I know the ins and outs of this market.

You can count on me to price your home so that it sells for top dollar! If you have any questions about how this can be accomplished, then please don't hesitate to ask me.

Welcome back to my blog. Today I want to talk to you about getting ready to buy because a lot of people in Southern California are on the same page. So here are a few things we wanted to remind you about today:

First, if you have had any recent expenses over the $1,000 mark, make sure you document it. When you go to get pre-approved for a loan, your lender will want all of this information. 

Secondly, if you take a look on your most recent tax return, under the 2106 form, you'll see that it's a form for employee-reimbursed expenses. If you have any big work expenses, like a mileage per diem, ask your tax preparer to do an amended tax return, because they will take this money into account when you qualify for a loan. 

The third thing you need to do is get online and get yourself a free credit report. Head to quizzle.com, credit.com, and creditkarma.com to get each of your three credit scores for free. 

If you have any questions for us, feel free to give us a call or send us an email. We are always here to help you get a leg up on the competition when it comes to buying and selling real estate here in Southern California.
