Why a plan matters
Guessing can cost you
Most of the expensive mistakes I see happen before a home ever hits the market.
01
Pricing it wrong
Price too high and your home can sit while buyers look at other options. Price too low and you leave money on the table.
02
Fixing the wrong things
Some updates pay off. Others just cost you time and money. It helps to know which is which before you start.
03
Missing Prop 19
If you're 55 or older, Prop 19 may let you take your property tax base with you to your next California home. The rules have deadlines, so it's worth checking early.
How I help
Four steps, at your pace
You don't have to have it all figured out. We'll start wherever you are, and you decide when you're ready for the next step.
Know your numbers
What your home could sell for, what you'd walk away with, and what your next home might cost.
Decide what to fix
What's worth doing before you list, and what to leave alone.
Price it right
A price based on recent local sales, not an online guess.
Plan the move
Timing, sorting belongings, and whether to buy first or sell first.

Robin listed and sold my mother in laws home after she passed. It was a long distance transaction as we lived out of state. We were very pleased and satisfied with the way Robin handled the transaction. The house sold within a week for above asking price!
