Why Sellers Choose Us
Madeline Provides Value: Knowledge, Expertise, and Results
Selling a home in he Marin real estate market is both an art and a science, and it takes many skills. We have a proven, successful marketing plan for you.
Our commitment is to sell real estate in Marin at the best possible price, with minimal stress, and the greatest benefit to you. Here are the steps in the process of selling your home:
Pricing Your Home
Our goal as top real estate professionals is to assist you in obtaining the best price that will attract the largest number of buyers and result in a fast sale of your home. We learn your financial needs, review with you in detail recent sales of comparable properties, and then develop with you the best pricing strategy for the prevailing market.
Staging your Home
Making your Marin home most appealing to buyers, whether they see it on the Internet or in person, is of primary importance. We recommend the staging that is appropriate to your home. See more on The Value of Staging Your Home.
Photographing Your Home
Good photos are important, and we hire a professional to give you the best. 80-90% of potential home buyers first see your house on the Internet, and the photos can provide a critical first impression. Most buyers will cruise past a listing with interior photos showing a vacant house.
Networking with the Real Estate Community
After the Marin MLS (Multiple Listing Service), this may be the most important avenue we have to market your home. Madeline is a Top Agent with the Top Agent Network from its inception and with the Marin Platinum Group. Both networks are strategically targeted toward high impact email marketing to other top real estate agents in Marin. You benefit from her strong connections with these powerful networks.
As a home seller, this membership benefits you by allowing your house to get maximum exposure before it hits the MLS, and during the entire listing and marketing of your home. These trusted agents spread the word fast to their pool of buyers, and you benefit. Madeline also attends several monthly buy-sell meetings to market your home and keep current with the local Marin real estate market. Cooperation among other top agents, whether it be assisting in pricing your home, reviewing market conditions, or bringing you a buyer, plays a most important key role in the real estate-savvy Marin County.
Advertising Your Marin Home on the Internet
We list your house on the Marin MLS and advertise it widely on the Internet. In addition to presenting your home on dozens of real estate search sites, we prepare a special web site (for example, www.43OakLane.com). Your home is also featured on this web site, in Featured Homes.
Print Advertising
We give you full color display ads in the Marin Independent Journal, custom fliers and brochures, magazine ads, when appropriate, and circulate "Just Listed" cards to the neighborhood.
Open Houses
Open houses for Marin real estate agents and brokers are held on the first two weeks of your listing, then as often as needed. We will cater these events to enhance your home's initial showing to real estate agents.
Open house ads for the public are essential to attract people to the open houses that we hold for you on Sunday afternoons. Even buyers who have an agent searching for real estate in Marin read these ads to see if anything catches their interest. These appear in the Marin IJ and San Francisco Chronicle.
Personal Care and Interest Makes the Difference
We get involved with you to ensure that you have a remarkable Marin real estate transaction. We are sensitive to your needs and privacy while maximizing the exposure of your home to buyers and real estate agents. We always end a transaction with the certainty that our client’s needs and desires have been met.
