There is a big difference between buying just a house and taking the time to find your dream home. There are deep emotions that rise to the surface when you sell your home. Meeting your needs and exceeding your expectations takes care and a special brand of listening, vision, ability, empathy, perseverance and integrity. Learning and understanding what is really important to you, caring to realize your priorities in life, what will make you happy, secure, and comfortable and where you picture yourself 5-10 years down the road is my goal as a Realtor working for you. I would love to help you on your path to home ownership or help you sell your home and move forward with your life. Please give me a call today – 707-815-0569.
I love Real Estate - looking at homes for sale with buyers, seeing their excitement when the have found THE ONE! And I truly love helping Sellers get their homes ready to sell, marketing their property and getting it sold with as little stress for the sellers as possible! Real Estate excites me and helping people move forward with their lives motivates me!
I have been an agent with Coldwell Banker in Napa for over 19 years. I am active in my RE community and believe you never burn a bridge because you will probably be doing your next transaction with that agent. Negotiate hard but always make it a Win-Win and Always with a smile...ALWAYS!
As a listing agent, I represent you and your interests, diligently negotiate on your behalf, explain the details of the residential purchase contract, disclosures, and reports, and coordinate a smooth sale of your home or investment property from start to finish.
I have an extensive To Do list for myself when I am selling your home + I have a detailed marketing plan that goes far beyond the average agent's concept of marketing a home for sale. I help sellers get their home ready for market and offer my list of handy work people to get the work DONE! When marketing the the property for sale, I do professional photography, 3D virtual tours (which boosts your position on Zillow), video tours, SM boosts on FB, FB groups, Instagram, Google, LinkedIn, Twitter, and YouTube. I create mini video graphic that I sprinkle on SM every few days to keep the property top of mind. Seller's home is advertised in our local paper, as well as, in the SF Chronicle, to mention a few....
As a buyer's agent (I do not ever represent both sides of a transaction) I do my utmost to educate you on the home buying process My goal is to find buyers their dream home. As a Top Producer, I strive to represent and negotiate a great deal, to explain all contracts, inspections, and reports so that home buyers know and understand the biggest purchase they may ever make.. I help buyers see the PROs and CONs on the houses we see. I have a Buyer's package filled lots of information on the buying process, vocabulary, timeline of events, etc... that I give to all my buyers whether they are first time buyers of have been buying and selling for decades.
Oh, and by the way - Napa Valley is a beautiful place to own a home!
Give me a call, text, or email me if you need real estate assistance to sell a house or buy a home.
I look forward to working with you! ~Marcia
