Real Estate For Home Sellers In Mt. Washington, Highland Park, Eagle Rock, Glassell Park And More Need To Know*

The secret for Home Sellers in the present real estate market in the Highland Park, Mt. Washington, Eagle Rock, Silver Lake, Glassell Park and other Northeast Los Angeles Communities is this:
5 Tips For First-Time Sellers.
At first the task seems daunting because of today’s real estate market: You haven’t sold a home before, the market looks complex, and what worked for owners 3 or 5 years ago seems inappropriate today. Keep in mind the value of a good Realtor/e-PRO bringing you a specific detailed plan on marketing & merchandising your real estate.
What steps should you take? Here’s a baseline list to get you started. Owners have done it but remember all the legal liabilities that goes with being a home seller.
- Define Your Goal. Do you want the highest sales price — or the biggest check at closing? They’re not necessarily the same. Imagine that two homes sell for $300,000, but one owner agrees to replace the roof. The owner who sold without such costs got a bigger check at settlement. The bottom line: To have a successful sale you must have a strong negotiator in your corner that is a ‘local’ Realtor.
- Times Have Changed. Today’s real estate marketplace is radically different when compared with 5 years ago. Purchasers now use the Internet, receive seller disclosure forms, get home inspections, and are routinely represented by buyer brokers. The result is that buyers are better prepared than in the past. The ‘local’ Realtor makes the difference in many aspects in bringing value to a seller.
- Sparkle And Shine. Imagine going to a supermarket and seeing dusty fruit or aisles filled with old shelving and cans. It doesn’t happen because the grocery store knows how to present its goods. Sellers must do the same. Get rid of things you don’t want to move, organize closets and storage areas, and clean everywhere. The payoff is a higher sales price.
- Mechanics Count. Buyers expect everything to work. Home inspections are now a fact and what buyers miss home inspectors will catch. Fix things now and they won’t be an issue in the future.
- Think Broadway. When buyers see your home, it’s showtime. They want an environment where they can see themselves. Given them a show where everything is painted, arranged, and attractive, a home where the only issue is when to move in. A factor that a Realtor as an outsider is critical in giving based on trust, integrity and true service.
I am a Northeast Los Angeles Consultant that specializes in all communities of N.E.L.A. Mt. Washington, Highland Park, Glassell Park, Atwater Village, Eagle Rock and the other neighborhoods are my expertise to deliver successful results in any real estate transaction.

Do N.E.L.A Home Sellers Know Their Real Estate?
Realtor Confidence
Okay, so a home seller in Northeast Los Angeles should know what about their real estate?
I emphasize that a home owner preparing to sell rectify and repair things that are noticed in any serious inspection. It just means that today’s buyers are savvy about maintenance issues.
The current research shows that buyers have become very savvy when previewing a home for sale and checking things that sellers may deem irrelevant. I see now see buyers checking water pressure, electrical outlets and window movement just to name a few.
Also, home sellers must realize when a potential buyer sees one first defect, then the search for more is energized. So those loose screws and torn window screens and towel bars that are hanging on by a thread need to be handled.
Kitchens and bathrooms are always primary selling features for a house in every price range. I always detail if a minor remodel in these two areas would bring back a substantial return in the overall picture for an awesome house sale.
Finally, I suggest that the home seller look at the home as a buyer would, realistically. Having items that need fixing, fixed, just supports the listing price and brings forth a better type of home buyer.
I am a local Realtor that knows the desires of buyers and what attracts them to the specific community in N.E.L.A. The diversity and people mix in each community is different. It is a major factor that draws many to the real estate in the Northeast Los Angeles area. I can assist to point out the features that many older period homes need to have addressed to obtain the best price in the house sale. It all adds up to a positive win-win transaction.
I am a Realtor that will state to a home seller the truth in what needs to be looked at for a positive and true sale. Advising a home seller in an honest and upfront manner is an expectation every seller should have of the Realtor chosen.
Thinking of selling??? Then grant me a little of your time and see the value I will bring to you. All discussions are strictly confidential and privacy respected.
House For Sale? 4 Tips for Better Curb Appeal
Hi, today I thought about the phrase “House for Sale” and its relationship to curb appeal. A home seller is quick to list a few items that need to be improved for that ‘nice to look at’ picture. I make it a point for the seller of the house to be aware of many simple features that can have a wonderful impact to a buyer.
I like to walk across the street with the home owner and say, “Does this select real estate capture your eye?” Undoubtedly the house will need certain touches to boost the pizazz of that ‘first look’ to the prospective home buyer. I try to obtain the most pluck for the buck to obtain the benefits of all critical features.
Points to consider would have been listed in the initial market analysis of the house. The walk across the street along with the look is how I revitalize the initial comments.
1. Clean Up
Clean up – The entryway should be swept and uncluttered. The trash cans put in a simple practical spot that is clean. The door, window sills and any patio furniture should not have any dust and windows should sparkle.
2. House Numbers
House Numbers – I recommend that this be a statement of the house with numbers that are tile, wood, or brass so it goes along the flow that the house portrays.
3. Mailbox
Mailbox – I see this as a simple and easy way to add charm to the home. Northeast Los Angeles has many types of homes. The mailbox should follow the same theme as the house numbers. Those plastic plain inexpensive flimsy units should always be replaced adding a touch of home warmth to the picture.
4. Front Door
Front Door – I feel this to be an integral part of the initial feel of the house for sale. The door should be repainted or stained if necessary and be equipped with nice hardware. The front door is the gateway to entering a place of peace, family, comfort and countless other feelings that a house bestows on the buyer.
It is always a benefit to my clients to look at the process using two hats, one as house buyer and one as house seller. The simple touches mentioned here are not costly and bring an uplifted value to the house. Northeast Los Angeles with its large quantity of houses built in the early 1900′s make curb appeal incredible in regards to value.
The N.E.L.A communities are all different so if you would like to know more than let’s chat. Feel free to e-mail or call me. You will receive a prompt reply and your privacy is always respected.
