June swoon or June gloom? The Bay Area Real Estate market is as sluggish as we’ve seen it. We have houses on the market and escrows closing but we think we’re in the June slowdown. Listen as we discuss what that means for both our buyers and sellers. We have sellers who are planning to sell right away and sellers who want to sell in five years. In today’s episode we go over our 3-point strategy plan for homeowners who are getting their homes ready to sell. We explain how we advise them to prepare their home for sale and whether it’s based on their long-term goals. Tune in to find out what is required of sellers? What is normally expected? How does the price of the listing affect the presale prep? Find out the most commonly missed opportunities sellers should take advantage of. Join us for this week’s podcast where we discuss what we encourage our sellers to do to prepare their home for sale.

We’re in the middle of June and the market continues to be a little wonky in Contra Costa County. We had another agent say that “it’s a property-by-property market.” And we couldn’t agree more. Listen as we explain what we mean by that and how it affects both buyers and sellers in the East Bay. In today’s podcast we focus on flippers, which is someone who buys a property with the pure intention of improving it and then selling it. We explore how flippers find properties, their initial strategies, their process, and what’s best for sellers.
