Homeowners – Is your home still underwater?  Not sure?
Home values are rising, leaving fewer homes underwater in Santa Clara County.
Talking to two homeowners recently they would have had to sell as a short sale last year BUT, fantastic news, this year they have equity in their home!!  Both were surprised with the news.  They had no idea.
It is great to see the weight lifted off them.  There were both so happy and relieved that I thought I would see back flips.
If you are struggling to make the mortgage payment, you need to get the current valuation of your home.
At the tail end of 2012, a past client (who had been struggling for years) called to say she had enough.  She just wanted to do the short sale as she was about to lose the home.  I broke the happy news that she was no longer going to have to sell as a short sale.  In fact, we were able to sell and she got $56K at closing which helped to pay other past due bills and left a savings!!!  Plus – and this is what I was extremely happy about – the buyer was an investor and rented the home back to my client.  No move was needed.
I live for these rewarding sales.

     Orchestrating an Estate Home for Sale

First step define your job – determine the piece you want to play.
Then find vendors and repair people for these jobs.
Call all the people to get the group set for the big performance.
Let the piece begin –

Estate seller for personal property holding an effective sale
Donations of left over remaining personal property picked up.
Repairs like water heater correction, CO detector and fences corrected.
Painters in to remove wallpaper and paint the inside of the home
Water pressure the exterior stucco to brighten up the image.
Quickly introduce the carpet and linoleum guys to rapidly get that job done.
Now for the last bits of clean up – bring in the window washers and housecleaner to spruce up the home.
Now you have a blank slate to create final act.
Introduce the stager to bring this piece to life.
Pictures get taken to memorialize all you have done.
Install the “for sale” sign.
Get home on the market.  And wait for the applause.
