Selling your home in West Hills and the West San Fernando Valley
Something changed, and now your home needs to sell on a timeline. Many sellers don’t know their real deadline until it’s too late to plan around it. So we find yours first. Then we build the plan backward from it.
One question I ask every seller
If we’re still on the market in 60 days, what changes for you?
Your answer tells us what to do when.
How The One Plan works when you sell
Seven steps. Here’s a look at some of what’s in each.
- Plan. Your timeline, your finances, and what you want next.
- Prepare. A pre-listing inspection option, so potential issues show up before buyers find them. Your disclosures are done and ready the day you go live.
- Price. Three options for us to discuss. An aggressive price, to bring in as many buyers as possible early. A likely market value range. A higher price that may take longer. You’ll see what you could net at each. You pick the one that fits your timeline and your goals.
- Promote. An aggressive marketing plan to reach buyers and their agents, with your home live in the multiple listing service (MLS). The first 10 days tell us a lot, and you’ll hear what they tell us.
- Perform. Showings, agent feedback, and every offer reviewed with you. Before you accept, the buyer’s loan approval gets a loan officer’s review (mine), so you know what it means for your timeline.
- Protect. Your interests, in every negotiation: showings, offers and counters, and inspection requests. Every contingency date tracked and worked to. The hardest stretch of escrow explained before you get there, so it doesn’t catch you off guard.
- Post-close. Wrap-up after closing, and a relationship that keeps going.
Every week. A call and a written summary. What happened, what’s coming up, and the next decision. Every choice is one you understand before you make it.
Moving away?
Your sale still runs from here. If you need an agent where you’re going, I help find one I would use myself and make the introduction.
What it looks like
One seller thought pulling the plan together would take her two weeks or more. She had the spreadsheet and the plan tracker back in 24 hours and started working toward her goal right away.
My listings have averaged 101% of list price and 5.9 offers.
“She promised to consult with us every step of the way and to consider our needs as home sellers.” – J.P. & K.L.
Every home and every market is different. Past results don’t promise future ones.
Before you hire me
Your house. Your goals. Your next step. So we start with you: what you want to do and what’s on your mind. Many sellers ask about price, the work the home needs, and how buyers will find it. “What if I get this wrong?” You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Bring your questions, and we’ll go from there.
Watch before you sell
Common questions
What will my home sell for and what will I walk away with?
We start with recent sales around your home, which side of any neighborhood line it sits on, its amenities, and its condition. You’ll see three pricing options and what you could net at each, so you know what it could buy you next.
Do I have to make repairs or updates before I sell?
Not always. Some updates are worth it and some aren’t. We look at your home, your timeline, and your budget. You decide what to do.
How long will it take?
Your price, your prep, and the market set the pace. Your timeline sets the plan, and the first 10 days on the market tell us a lot.
What do you charge?
We cover that in our first conversation, after you’ve seen the plan and what it includes. That way, you can weigh the fee against the value you get.
You’ll know what’s happening and what comes next. And you will be the one who decides.
You don’t have to know what to do yet.
