FOR SELLERS: MY SUCCESS STORIES
I have discovered that the best way to sell a San Diego house quickly and for the best price is to get the home ready prior to listing the home for sale.
I have aligned myself with the best in the business to do whatever it takes to prepare a house for sale and turn it into a buyer’s dream home. Whether it’s painting, replacing carpet or flooring, landscaping, cosmetic repairs, or staging, I know what to do to prepare your home to shine.
Whether you’re currently still living in a home or are selling a vacant property, I will be happy to discuss a plan to prepare your home for the San Diego market, or I can help with your vision to buy a home and do a basic remodel to create a beautiful space to live.
Here are a few of the homes that have benefited from my services and help. Real sellers, real homes, real measurable results.
These are their stories.

We needed to get a price that was $100,000 more than our neighbor who had just closed with 100 sq. ft. more.
