For Sellers
Selling your home in San Francisco and getting top dollar for it takes a combination of proper pre-sale preparation, accurate pricing, and a well-executed marketing campaign. Careful consideration must be paid to each of these to find the ideal buyer, one that appreciates the uniqueness of your home – to maximize its value. We believe every home we are hired to sell deserves this type of attention to detail. Before you decide to put your home on the market here are some key items we recommend you consider:
Pre-Sale Preparation. Prepping your home prior to sale should at a minimum include cleaning all rooms, removing clutter, and de-personalizing the space. You need the buyer to envision themselves living there, not you. You may also want to consider modest home improvements such as updating the kitchen, bathrooms, and flooring as well as sprucing up the landscaping to improve your home’s curb appeal. Finally, you may want to stage your home for sale. Staging typically involves new paint, bringing in new furnishings, lighting, and accent pieces. Statistics show staged homes sell faster and for higher prices than homes that are not. For pre-sale preparation we can get you in touch with some of the best home stagers and contractors in San Francisco.
Pricing. There are many factors that must be accounted for when pricing your home for sale in San Francisco. Beyond the size, physical condition and features of your home its proximity to shops, restaurants, schools, parks, and public transportation will significantly affect its value. Additionally, the most recent sale prices of comparable homes in your neighborhood must be considered. With our in-depth knowledge of San Francisco’s micro neighborhoods and current pricing trends, we can help you accurately determine the value of your home. Pricing is extremely critical to achieving a timely sale for the highest price. Under pricing your home could result in leaving money on the table, while overpricing can lead to your home not selling at all.
