We offer our sellers a simple and cost effective strategy that ultimately creates a home that buyers will love! Our LUXE Pre-Sale Services include Interior Design and Staging Services that are complimentary and always included when we list your home.
Your home is the MOST IMPORTANT marketing tool when listing your property. When your home stands apart from the crowd, it is more appealing to buyers. The result is multiple offers and a higher sales price.
We work closely with our clients to carefully prepare their home for market, from key interior and exterior upgrades and improvement recommendations, to our LUXE home staging, we ensure that the most critical areas of your home are ready for buyers!
Why do some houses sit on the market for months at a time while taking price reductions, while other homes get multiple offers in a matter of days? A home that sits on the market for more than a couple of weeks becomes stale in the eyes of the buyer, and they lose interest and quickly move on to a more desirable house.
Pre-Sale Marketing emphasizes strategic improvements made to your home in order to appeal to buyers and create a connection between your home and your buyer. Getting your buyers excited to see your home in person is a critical step in the process of selling your home!
The proof is in the Sale Price! The before and after listing photos below show the dramatic transformation after we installed new flooring, light fixtures and paint. All on a budget! Our team then staged the home and we were ready to go to market. Over 50 showings and 6 offers in a downward market.
"Maria sold my home in Shingle Springs in 2021 and got me top dollar. In the months pre-sale, drawing on her considerable experience, she advised me as to where (and where not) to spend money on upgrades to increase value. Under her practiced eye, I spent $50,000 on upgrades that, in the end, increased my home's value by $150,000. She shrewdly priced my home, and I received several offers in the first week of listing."

“Julie is an absolute Jewel! Not only did she find the right buyer quickly but she helped in preparing our home to showcase it to its full potential and made it easy and stress-free in the process. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for that extra personal touch and dedication”

"Maria went above and beyond for me in my search for the perfect home in the frenzy of 2021. She did more for me to get my current house than any other agent had ever done previously. She helped me through the whole process and was available to my many questions and concerns. Now I’m looking for a vacation investment property and she is helping again. I’ll continue working with her in the future."
