For the last few years we've dipped our toes into a handful of open houses while keeping an eye on property listings to help us understand neighborhoods, regions and just what we could be looking for. When we decided to become more serious in our search for our first home, we met Mark from Bay Area Modern Real Estate. As a first time home buyer, my husband and I were new to the entire process. Mark's energy, knowledge and honesty made us instantly comfortable in collaborating during this process and we could not have asked for a better agent. We felt like all of our requests and priorities were heard and addressed with each listing and viewing. When we walked a few listings together, he asked thought provoking questions that helped us narrow down what was right for us. He helped guide us throughout the entire experience of one of our biggest life purchases. Once we submitted an offer, he kept us on track with a detailed timeline of key dates and deadlines listed out by who needed to complete them - a dream to those who are organized and unorganized alike! Mark was always available when we had questions and checked in with us without being overwhelming. We had such a positive experience with Mark and his team, we would definitely work with them again.

Absolutely amazing Realtor! Mark has it all: Marketing savviness, excellent communication, attention to detail, honor, integrity to name a few great attributes of a successful realtor. Most importantly he cares. As a real estate investor/developer, I have worked with several dozen Realtors on both the buy and sell-side...Mark is top-notch.

We just sold our loft in Berkeley, with Mark's help, and couldn't be happier with the experience. Mark is consistently professional, courteous, responsive, and eager to help move the process along. We completed our sale after moving out of state and he took care of many details that required someone on site at the property. We're extremely grateful for his help. Mark gave us valuable advice about how to best prep and present the condo, referred a number of helpful vendors along the way. I've worked with a number of agents for various properties, and Mark is among the best of the best. You can't go wrong with him.

We are so fortunate to have worked with Mark with the sale of our mid century home. From our initial conversation, we appreciated the knowledge that he shared and all of the recommendations that he provided as we prepped our home for listing. Once ready, he did an excellent job with marketing the property and generated a high-volume of interest in our home. Selling a home could be a stressful process, and Mark's expertise and guidance allowed us to navigate through this time smoothly. He represented us well and we highly recommend him!

The goal is to make your home as appealing as possible to the most potential buyers, before photos of your home are taken. Staging your home can include anything from redecorating to rearranging furniture, cleaning or other aesthetic strategies to present the home in the best possible light. You can do it yourself, have your real estate agent guide you, or hire a staging company.
In most cases, the buyer pays for the home inspection.
If someone is selling a home that needs repairs - yet chooses not to fix them - they may choose to list a property as-is. Disclosures and inspections are typical steps in the process. In an as-is sale, a buyer is willingly purchasing the home in its current state with full knowledge of its condition.
When selling a property, it is incumbent upon the seller to disclose any details about the home that might negatively affect its value.
Factors such as the time of year and market conditions play a big role in how quickly a property sells. How you price, market and stage your home are also very important variables that will affect how long a home remains on the market.
Any fixture that is ‘attached’ or built into the house typically remains. For example, if your house has built-in bookshelves, they typically stay with the house. The same is true of kitchen or bathroom fixtures, and fireplaces. Exceptions and details can be discussed during the negotiation process.
A professional appraiser will inspect a property and compare it to other similar homes in the area. From there, a fair market value is determined. Unless you plan on paying all cash for a property, you will likely need a home appraisal.
A real estate agent is paid as part of the closing costs, which comes out of the sale proceeds at the end of the process.
Your first step is to hire a real estate agent you trust. Together, you will set an asking price, prepare your home for listing, list and market your property, negotiate an offer, and close on the sale.
Sharing particular information when connecting with a real estate agent can help give you an idea of your home’s value in today’s market. The in-person expertise of a real estate agent will give you a more accurate opinion of your home’s value.
