In soliciting any kind of professional service, the top three things I look for are competence, integrity, and diligence. Upon meeting Debbie and Marla for the first time, I knew my realtor search was over, and they did not disappoint. Debbie’s team expertly handled the staging, marketing and negotiations for our San Mateo condo. I appreciated the frequent texts and communications keeping me apprised of the activity on the sale. Debbie knows the market well, sets realistic expectations, and sold our condo for list price. The added perk to working with Debbie is she’s a genuinely caring person. Unless you love the process, which I do not, she dramatically reduces the stress out of real estate by leading you through every step of the way. I have worked with half a dozen realtors across the country; hands down Debbie is the BEST realtor I have worked with and she is now our go-to for all future deals in the Bay Area.

I have nothing but positives to describe my recent home listing with Debbie and Marla. I listed my late fathers home for sale with Debbie and Marla under very difficult and stressful circumstances due to issues between the surviving siblings. Both Debbie and Marla went well beyond to manage the situation which allowed us to list the home in 2021 on an extremely tight time frame. I contacted Debbie on November 5th, and gave her the Green light on the 15th and she had the home listed and had an open house on 28th! She was helpful in every aspect in getting the home prepared in a less than a tight 2 week window. She coordinated all the inspections, cleanings, etc etc in a lightning quick but manageable fashion. We closed the sale on Jan 6th 2022 with an outstanding offer and I am now able to move forward from an extremely difficult part of my life. Thank you Debbie and Marla! I appreciate both your Can-do attitudes! I can go on record that if anyone is considering listing their home, you can make no better choice than Debbie and Marla.

My real estate agent referred me to Debbie and Marla, since he and Debbie knew each other as colleagues in the industry. It was nice to have both agents and Marla help with the sale of our house. Debbie and Marla were pleasant, professional, responsive, timely, and always made sure to communicate well throughout the process. We were able to sell our home pretty swiftly and they definitely added a lot of value and reassurance because of their expertise and network. Our family is thankful for Debbie and Marla and highly recommend them for any real estate purchase/sale. Thank you!

Questions & Answers

Do I need to stage my home?

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.

Who pays for a home inspection?

Debbie Wong & Marla Wong - Wong Real Estate Group | Jul 2, 2022
Debbie Wong & Marla Wong - Wong Real Estate Group | Jul 2, 2022

In most cases, the buyer pays for the home inspection.

What does selling a home ‘as-is’ mean?

Debbie Wong & Marla Wong - Wong Real Estate Group | Jul 2, 2022
Debbie Wong & Marla Wong - Wong Real Estate Group | Jul 2, 2022

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.

What is disclosure?

Debbie Wong & Marla Wong - Wong Real Estate Group | Jul 2, 2022
Debbie Wong & Marla Wong - Wong Real Estate Group | Jul 2, 2022

When selling a property, it is incumbent upon the seller to disclose any details about the home that might negatively affect its value.

How long will it take to sell my home?

Debbie Wong & Marla Wong - Wong Real Estate Group | Jul 2, 2022

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.

What needs to stay when I sell my home?

Debbie Wong & Marla Wong - Wong Real Estate Group | Jul 2, 2022
Debbie Wong & Marla Wong - Wong Real Estate Group | Jul 2, 2022

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.

Can I sell my home and buy another at the same time?

Debbie Wong & Marla Wong - Wong Real Estate Group | Jul 2, 2022
Debbie Wong & Marla Wong - Wong Real Estate Group | Jul 2, 2022

There are many factors that affect the housing market, but understanding what to expect - and being prepared beforehand - can make buying and selling a property at the same time possible.

What is an appraisal for when I buy a house?

Debbie Wong & Marla Wong - Wong Real Estate Group | Jul 2, 2022
Debbie Wong & Marla Wong - Wong Real Estate Group | Jul 2, 2022

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.

How do real estate agents get paid?

Debbie Wong & Marla Wong - Wong Real Estate Group | Jul 2, 2022
Debbie Wong & Marla Wong - Wong Real Estate Group | Jul 2, 2022

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.

What steps do I take to sell my home?

Debbie Wong & Marla Wong - Wong Real Estate Group | Jul 2, 2022
Debbie Wong & Marla Wong - Wong Real Estate Group | Jul 2, 2022

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.

How much is my home worth?

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.
