The seller's playbook

How to price, prepare and market your home so it sells on your timeline.

1. Start with a real valuation

Online estimates miss what makes your home different. Sabrina prepares a pricing review based on recent nearby sales, active competition and your home's condition.

The goal is a price that draws strong interest in the first two weeks, when buyer attention is highest.

2. Prepare with purpose

Fix what buyers notice and inspectors flag: leaks, worn caulk, burned-out bulbs, sticky doors.

Declutter, deep clean and let in light. Small, inexpensive updates usually beat large projects.

3. Market it well

Professional photos, a clear listing description and wide online exposure bring buyers to the door.

Showings are scheduled around your life, with feedback shared after each one.

4. Negotiate every term

The highest offer is not always the best one. Financing, contingencies, closing date and rent-back terms all affect what you take home.

Sabrina walks you through each offer side by side.

5. Disclosures and closing

California sellers provide disclosures about the property's condition. Being thorough up front protects you and keeps escrow smooth.

From acceptance to closing, Sabrina tracks deadlines, inspections and repair requests so nothing slips.

This guide is general information, not legal, tax or lending advice. Talk with the right professional about your situation.
