While one little ding in the wall might go unnoticed, it’s the little things that add up and create the impression buyers get as they tour your home. Now is the time to go through your property in detail to get it looking its best. A fresh coat of paint and clean carpets can go a long way!⠀ --⠀ #homesellers #realestate #forsale #newpaint #homestaging #openhouse #details #realtortips #realestatetips #santacruzrealestate #californiarealestate #forsale #homeforsale #fsbo #interior #interiordesign #homedesign #sellmyhouse #santacruzagents #firstimpressions (at Santa Cruz, California)

Many sellers feel hesitant to reveal problems that could discourage potential buyers from considering their property. However, failing to disclose certain facts can lead to potential lawsuits. Your agent will help you determine what information buyers need to be made aware of, but when in doubt, disclose.⠀ --⠀ #SellerTip #HomeSale #RealEstate #RealtorTip #RealEstateTip #SellMyHouse #ForSale #HomeSeller #HomeSellers #CaliforniaRealEstate #SantaCruzRealEstate #CaliforniaRealtor #SantaCruzRealtor #Disclose #RealEstateSales #FSBO #HomeForSale #HouseForSale #RealtorHelp #Realtor #SantaCruz #SellingMyHouse (at Santa Cruz, California)

Signing a purchase contract with a seller is just the beginning of the closing process. To avoid unwelcome surprises, talk to your agent about what steps need to be taken before you get the keys to your new property. While much of the closing process is standard, every real estate purchase is different and your purchase agreement and escrow timeline will reflect that.⠀ --⠀ #OfferAccepted #HomeBuying #SantaCruzRealEstate #HomeBuyer #FirstTimeHomeBuyer #HouseHunting #RealEstate #RealEstateHelp #Realtor #RealEstateAgent #HomeBuyers #FirstTimeHomeBuyers #Escrow #BuyersLife #HomeSearch #NewHome #IBoughtAHouse #SantaCruz #CARealEstate #CaliforniaRealEstate #SantaCruzRealtor #CARealtor (at Santa Cruz, California)

Beach Homes for Sale in Santa Cruz CA

Are you looking for a vacation home to add to your investments?

Beach homes are great choices to make as a vacation home and even a retirement home. They are also good investments because there is always a demand for a beach home - especially in these modern times.

So, aside from your budget, what else should you consider when choosing a beach home?

First is location. A home for sale in Santa Cruz CA will be different from another home in another beach community. Also, it's nice to have a view of the beach but when you have to drive a long way just to get to the local amenities, it becomes a liability.

Another thing is how often you'll use it. Knowing how many times you'll come and visit your Santa Cruz CA beach home is important to know if you really need this particular home...or do you need another one?

For more tips on buying a beach home in Santa Cruz CA, call me, Sandy Wallace, at 831-818-7099.

Beach Homes for Sale in Santa Cruz CA

"What's my beach home for sale's value?". This is a question that most home sellers in Santa Cruz CA have.

Pricing an oceanview home is different from pricing a regular single story home. Extra features such as an oceanview, convenient access to the beach and activities, and maybe even a dock, are additional assets to your home that must be valued at a price.

Having a knowledge of how much these are worth can give you a more accurate estimate of your Santa Cruz CA home for sale's price. It also gives you the opportunity to make a better sale out of your home.

So if you want to find out what your beach home in Santa Cruz CA is worth, get in touch with me, Sandy Wallace, today. There's no other person better to give your home an appraisal than me, the top real estate expert from Santa Cruz CA!

Homes for Sale Santa Cruz CA

How important is it to price your Santa Cruz CA home for sale?

Being able to set a deal for your buyers from the get-go can save you time and effort when selling your home.

Why? Because people will see your home for sale in Santa Cruz CA for what it's worth. If you give them a price that's close to the one they have in mind, there's a good chance they'll be interested in buying your home.

However, pricing is not as easy as it seems. And there's hell to pay if you make a mistake.

Pricing your home too high results in your Santa Cruz CA home sitting on the market for years, while pricing it too low can mean losing out on one of the biggest investments that you can have.

If you don't want to make this mistake, you can call the top real estate expert in Santa Cruz CA, Sandy Wallace.

Home buyers are shopping for much more than a home, they are shopping for a lifestyle. When staging your home for showings, create the lifestyle people are looking for in your area. Set out patio furniture, create inviting table settings, hang a fancy robe in the bathroom. Remember, though, you are appealing to the masses, so don’t go too niche.⠀ --⠀ #sellertip #homesale #realestate #realestateasales #realtortip #staging #openhouse #openhousetip #realtor #santacruz #santacruzlife #santacruzhomes #santacruzagents #santacruzrealestate #californiarealestate #sellmyhouse #dreamhome #lifestyle

Before you commit to a home, make sure you are comfortable with your new commute and regular traffic conditions. You can try driving your commute at your regular time, or just keep an eye on traffic reports for a few days to see what is typical for your route.⠀ --⠀ #newhome #homesearch #househunting #realtortip #buyertip #buyerlife #realestate #realestatetip #moving #commute #traffice #santacruzagents #santacruzhomes #santacruzrealestate

You adore your pets, but potential buyers are not going to look at them with the same love in their eyes. Pets in a home make buyers suspicious of floor damage, odor problems, and other dirty issues. When showing your home, hide any indication that there are pets living there.⠀ --⠀ #pets #buyers #openhouse #realtortip #realestate #realestatetip #santacruzagents #santacruzrealestate #quickupgrade #sellmyhouse #sellertip #homeforsale

When potential buyers tour your home, they are going to snoop. Buyers want to check out the quality and condition of built-ins, so be sure they are in show-ready condition! Empty cabinets and drawers and give them a good cleaning if necessary. If you are still living in the home, keep the necessities well organized and put everything else in storage off-property.⠀ --⠀ #forsale #openhouse #realestate #selling #sellertip #realtortip #realestatetip #openhousetip #staging #quickupgrade #homereno #homesale #homebuyers #homesellers #santacruzrealtor #santacruzrealestate #santacruzhomes

Good interior and exterior lighting gives your home the welcoming feel and convenience potential buyers are looking for. Brighten up every room in your home by opening up drapes, trimming encroaching foliage, cleaning windows, and installing high-lumen light bulbs. Install exterior lighting along footpaths and to highlight landscaping.⠀ --⠀ #lighting #openhouse #staging #forsale #realestate #realtortip #homeforsale #sellertip #realestatetip #fsbo #homereno #homeupgrade #homeimprovement #remodel #santacruz #santacruzrealestate #santacruzrealtor #santacruzagents #santacruzhomes #californiahomes #californiarealestate
