Readying You & Your Home
Even in a neighborhood of tract homes, no two properties or homeowners are exactly alike. Acknowledging this reality, Rita approaches every listing with flexibility and purpose, tailoring her strategy to fit each client’s needs. She may recommend partial staging over full, pursue an off-market sale, or cover upfront costs to help position you and your home for success. With Rita, there’s no one-size-fits-all—just smart, personalized service focused on results.
Establishing Value
Rita will establish the fair market value of your home by performing a detailed Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). She begins with a thorough tour of your property, gathering key information about its condition, any upgrades, and any material issues you’ve experienced. Leveraging her deep knowledge of Silicon Valley’s cities and neighborhoods, Rita evaluates recent sales of comparable homes and analyzes local market trends. This comprehensive approach allows her to set a competitive listing price that attracts serious buyers and positions your home to sell quickly and for the highest possible value.
Recommendations
Rita understands that curb appeal and targeted improvements are key to maximizing your home’s value. She focuses on upgrades that will attract more buyers and increase your ROI, including fresh paint, remediating active leaks, and updating fixtures. Working with trusted vendors who prioritize her clients, Rita ensures every cost-effective improvement is handled professionally. If a task will not significantly impact the sale, she will advise you accordingly.
Staging
Effective staging helps buyers envision themselves living in the home and consistently leads to higher sales prices. Rita evaluates your space and calls on her trusted network of staging professionals, selecting the ideal team to highlight its best features and create solutions for those spaces which are less intuitive.
Disclosures
Preparing accurate and thorough disclosures is a critical step in the home-selling process. Rita is there to patiently guide you through the complex legal requirements, helping you compile all necessary information and address any potential issues upfront. With Rita’s expert support, you can confidently complete your disclosures, protect yourself from future liability, and build trust with buyers—ensuring a smoother, more transparent transaction from start to finish.
Inspections
Reliable and relevant inspections are essential for uncovering hidden issues before listing your home, helping to prevent surprises during the sale. By addressing these early, you can make informed decisions. Rita takes the lead in scheduling and overseeing inspections with her trusted and qualified vendors, ensuring you fully understand the results and whether remediation is needed. Because she’s deeply involved in the process, Rita confidently communicates inspection details with buyers and their agents.
