Free East Bay Home Sellers Guide
Our free East Bay Home Sellers Guide is an invaluable reference for anybody contemplating a home sale.
Selling a San Ramon Valley home in the 21st Century is a very different proposition than it used to be if you want to net the best return. Most homes that are listed for sale in our area are in close to move-in condition and many are professionally staged.
Given that these homes are your competition, it obviously makes sense to do everything you can to prepare your home so that it looks its best when it comes on to the market. Depending on its existing condition and upgrades etc., this could simply be a question of decluttering and cleaning before any staging is carried out, although in most cases, it will take a little more than that. Paint and carpet are relatively low-cost improvements, for example, and will almost always more than pay for themselves when the home is sold.

From Tom Huxley
I can’t praise Bernard enough. I first became aware of him through his very useful neighborhood newsletter. I eventually contacted him and he helped me compile a list of items to prepare the house for sale. Having talked to other realtors, I knew this list made the most sense. When a painter seemed too expensive,… Read more “From Tom Huxley”
