Congratulations to the Perez Family!!

At the beginning of their home selling journey, my clients felt overwhelmed about getting their home prepared for sale, including decluttering and repairs. Plus they felt nervous about a smooth transition into their next new home.

However, the goal of attracting the highest number of potential buyers while maximizing the value of their home was reached by following my strategic approach.

After several months, the Perez Family completed the property enhancements, including decluttering. They did an amazing job of preparing the home for sale.

We then reviewed prices for similar homes and agreed on our winning pricing strategy.

Next, within the first week of placing the home for sale, my team and I executed our effective, advanced marketing strategies and got the home under contract.

In addition, I made sure, through my negotiation strategies, that my sellers have a smooth transition into their next new home.

The Perez Family is incredibly elated with the successful sale of their home, which sold $25k over asking!!

My marketing assistant, Isabel, sat down with the Perez Family for a video customer testimonial on their experience working with me. Click on the video below!

I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the Perez Family and help them cross the bridge successfully DEBT FREE and STRESS FREE into their next new home and future investment property!!

Congratulations to the Baria Family! Tracy, CA

Congratulations to the Baria Family! Tracy, CA

The Baria family celebrates with joy on the amazing milestone they accomplished on April 6, 2023.

I first met the Baria family in the Fall of 2022. They were a busy couple working in the Bay Area and were tired of paying high rents. They were ready to relocate to Tracy, CA.

We started our journey together with a discovery call to find out all the details pertinent to purchasing a home. With a fully underwritten pre-approval loan, they expressed their desire on finding a home in a newer neighborhood with specific amenities all within a certain budget.

Every morning, I checked all the new inventory hitting the market and kept a close eye for a home with their specific requirements. One day, the perfect home became available, and I arranged for my buyers to view it. It was their dream home, and we proceeded with placing a strong offer.

There were many factors that we came across in our journey, including a tight inventory market and increasing interest rates, but with our eye on the mortgage rates and housing market, my team and I were able to navigate the Baria Family successfully to homeownership.

Through my V.I.P. Home Buyer Success Program, the Baria Family arrived with incredible joy to their goal of buying their dream home.

Part of my winning strategies included negotiating on the price and asking for credits for my buyers.

If you're interested in purchasing or selling a home but don't know where to start, call or text me with any real estate questions you may have.  Through our V.I.P. Home Success programs, my team and I work hard to navigate you successfully through your home buying or selling journey!

Home with Acreage - Stockton, CA SOLD!

Mission accomplished! Congratulations to the Gutierrez family on the purchase of their first home!

After learning about their pain points and bringing them up to speed with the current market conditions, we set-out a plan to view a couple of homes with acreage. They truly set their eyes on a property, located in the country, ideal for their horses.

There were so many hoops that the couple had to go through since their NONQM loan required various detailed requirements, including completing a first time homebuyer course, plus a detailed resume of their family business and outlook.

Despite some challenges along the way, the family stayed focused and committed to accomplish their goal. So happy that my team and I successfully assisted the Gutierrez family in their real estate journey!

I look forward to seeing the improvements they will add to their house to make it their own!

Congratulations to Sheyla and her mom, Maria, on becoming new homeowners!

In this market with tight inventory, multiple offers, racing against time to try to get the best interest rate possible, and many other challenges along the way, we stayed the course and got them home!

This beautiful home sits on a 9,000 square foot lot, the seller added over 1,000 square feet of brand new living space, plus he updated the original square footage. The seller did all this updating with permits in 2016, so the home is pretty much new.

I am super happy for these two ladies because they are set to build wealth through homeownership.

Don’t ever assume you can not afford to buy a home without talking to the right lender. These two ladies thought they could not buy a home, but I connected them to the right lender who helped them with the financing. We started our home search over the holiday period with no stopping until coming across this fabulous updated gated home on a quiet street. It was perfect for their needs, including a large lot for entertaining and possibly a second home.

Our winning strategies to getting our offer accepted, in this competitive market, included submitting a clean offer, offering a little extra over the asking price. plus guaranteeing $5,000 more over the appraise value should the home not appraise at purchase price.

I look forward to keeping in touch with Shayla and Maria to see the new changes they will make to the home to make it their own!

Congratulations to Constantino Hernandez on the purchase of his new home!

Every client has their unique story for what motivates them to purchase a home.

In the case of my client, Constantino, the low interest rates motivated him to purchase a home before prices and rates rise further next year.  He was ready to start the homebuying journey with my 100 percent commitment to help him through the entire process using my skills and knowledge.

Before searching for homes, we discussed in detail what features were important to him.  We began viewing homes that fit his specific criteria and within his budget based on his loan prequalification.

There were a couple of key items to getting this offer accepted by the seller.  First, communication with the listing agent was essential to find out exactly what was important to the seller.  These details helped immensely when I discussed and strategized, with my buyer, of submitting a clean offer and offering a certain amount above the asking price, within his budget, should the home not appraise.  This was the second key to make the offer stand out.     

I researched and discussed with my buyer the market values of similar homes in the neighborhood before submitting our competitive offer.

When we reached the inspection process, the inspection revealed a few health and safety issues that needed to be repaired. 

Constantino was concerned about who could do the repairs on his home.  I assured him not to worry since I have a network of trusted vendors that I work with in the area.   My trusted vendor got in touch with my client right away and gave him an estimate on the repair costs.  

Through negotiations with the seller, my buyer was able to receive credit for more than half of the repair costs.

My local lender also played a key role in getting the loan process approved on a timely basis.

After 28 days of the home going into contract, Constantino is finally a new homeowner and on his way to create wealth for his future.   I look forward to staying in touch with Constantino and seeing the improvements he makes to his beautiful home!

6 Tips to Maximize the Sale of Your Home

Selling a home in the least amount of time and for the most money requires that the home is marketed correctly, priced properly, and of course prepped for sale.  Here are 6 tips that I recommend:

1) Declutter

 One of the best ways to make a home inviting to potential buyers is removing items that take space.  Remove personal belonging like family photos, toys, jewelry, medicine, magazines, and pet items.  Make space to create interest and potential buyers can visualize themselves living there.

According to the 2021 Profile of Home Staging, published the National Association of Realtors Research Group, “82 percent of buyers’ agents said staging a home made it easier for a buyer to visualize the property as a future home.”

2) Deep Clean  

A home should smell fresh and look clean.  A few ways to accomplish this, includes steam cleaning the carpets and drapes, cleaning the hardwood floors, scrubbing the tiles in the bathroom and kitchen. If the carpet continues to appear stained after cleaning, consider replacing the carpet.  For pet odors, visit your local pet store or shop online for products to remove pet odors.

3) Add Curb Appeal – trim shrubs and trees, mow and water the lawn, power wash the home’s windows.

In addition, check the status of the front door, doorbell and address number for repairs or replacements.

4) Price Home Properly: Your Realtor should provide, analyze and discuss the market data of similar homes sold in your neighborhood to help you determine a fair market value of your home.

5) Market the Home Correctly – make sure your professional Realtor has a comprehensive marketing plan.   This should include taking professional photos and video,  offering virtual tours, promoting the home on social media and Facebook Marketplace, plus advertising on Facebook and YouTube.

6) Hire a Real Estate Professional:  Let the professional Realtor guide you through the entire selling process. In today's changing real estate market, Realtors are using virtual and other digital technologies, plus following  safety COVID-19 guidelines to keep customers safe during the sale of their home. 

If you would like to discuss how you can maximize the sale of your home, feel free to reach out to me.

Remember, I am here for YOU if you have any real estate questions, would like to discuss your options, are ready to create a winning plan for buying or selling a home, or need a trusted vendor referral.

Congratulations to the Reynosa Family on the purchase of their first home!

Realizing the benefits of owning their own home, the Reynosa family became determined to make the jump to become homeowners this year. After my buyers chose a home they liked, I discussed with my buyers what the seller wanted and strategized, with my buyers, on what they felt comfortable offering, plus guaranteeing to the seller a certain amount over appraised value should the home not appraise.

In this competitive market, this strategy worked well for my buyer’s since they were still within their budget and felt comfortable with the monthly mortgage payments. Communicating with the seller’s agent and presenting a clean offer were also very critical to the success of our offer being accepted.

At the end of their real estate journey, the Reynosa family were very happy on becoming homeowners!

Truly thankful that a referring agent entrusted me with their referral! It is an honor to have been a part of the Reynosa family homebuying journey from the beginning. It was a team effort!
