My National Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Sellers

Everything you want to know about selling your home. (Click Here) "Mike's" BHHS National Site. From A-Z what to do and expect, it’s all explained.

Listing Your Home

Complete your Statement of Information ASAP

You can avoid a MAJOR PROBLEM by completing your Statement of Information paperwork ASAP. Let’s solve the problem on our time, not in Escrow. #1 rule

Choose how you want to sell you property

Select from a few programs like 1031 Exchange, PINNICLE Forward, or Zoom CASA. Prop 60 or 90, Mills Act.  I know all the details and can help.


Remove anything you want to keep from your home.

Take down any fixtures, (Chandeliers, Statues, Painting, Special wall lights on/off switches) Unless you want to include those items in the selling of the home. NOTE: If it is attached, it is implied that it is something that will sell with the house. (You can list what you don’t want to sell in the contract, or just remove it.)

Marketing your property.

 Marketing of your property? I can do it, From Social Media, Print, Caravan, and Private buyers. Let me attach the Brand Power of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServies to your house, we have over 200 agents in our local office who will be updated on your property consistently. Not to mention the 50 thousand Agents from Orange County through San Diego.


Nobody has as large of a reach outside the State of CA to foreign places like China as Berkshire Hathaway HomeSerivces has. We sell billions and billions of dollars every year.  

Pay for an Appraisal Before you List.

Please find out how much the Mortgage Companies will be willing to loan on your home before you put it up for sale. Once you know how much the bank will lend, then you have a benchmark to ensure you get the most for your home. This information helps with offers; we can post it on the MLS in advance for all to see. Tells buyers that you are serious and that it may force an above-market purchase from the buyer. They will know how much extra money they need before you go to escrow. The last thing is to have a buyer walk away because the house did not appraise. This is catastrophic and makes the property look like a hidden problem.  

Get Treated for Termites before you list.

Get Section 1 and 2 clearances before you sell your home. The buyer will ask for it anyway; Termites are the seller’s problem, so take this objection off the table in advance and control the cost. Termites are in every house in San Diego; we don’t have the “Freeze Months” to kill them. If your home depends on Termite repair under a strict schedule like escrow, the Termite company may not give you the best deal. It’s how you get charged $800 for an application of can flex seal.  A flex seal is not suitable for anything. 

Understand Solar if you have it.

 Solar on residential properties is either owned by the homeowner or leased.  You need to figure out if it works and in what capacity. If it is leased, you need to qualify by the owner of the solar equipment. (Somebody else owns the equipment on YOUR roof) This may involve Easements on and off the property, maintenance requirements, future headaches, etc. I recommend you tackle the potential problem head-on, inspect it, and know exactly where you stand with the solar panels on your roof. (See below for Solar inspection contact.) Solar may not be what you think it is.

Additional Selling processes, what involved.

  My Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Website has everything you could possibly want about selling your home. Remember, I would like to be your Real Estate Agent, and i am trained in everything you will see on this page. Click the text.

Be prepared to have Escrow withhold Taxes.

Escrow will withhold CA tax regardless. You may think you can settle your taxes during your regular end-of-year (April 15th) tax time, But NO, California wants their $ now. Escrow is required to withhold money at closing. (Something to think about) 

The standard withholding is 3.33% of the Sales Price. Sellers can pay more, but not less, unless they take advantage of Part VI and request an Alternative Amount, like 12.3% on the gain amount for an individual or 8.84% or 13.8% for a corporation, depending on the type of corporation.  

Selling Questions, send me an e-mail

I am just scratching the surface of why homes don't sell. Just call me, we can talk about this.

Movers, they work hard for a fair price.

Our purpose is to “Move the World” by eliminating stress for people who are moving or dealing   

As we move to Electric cars, we may rely more on “Movers” people with gas-powered trucks. Can you imagine moving when all you have is a Tesla? College H.U.N.K.S Hauling can move whatever needs to be moved in a residential home.  From a couch, moving boxes to Junk & old Hot Tubs. They will pick up stuff and move it. Pretty simple. They charge by the Truckload. 

  

I have met with John Allen (The Owner). He seems like a good guy. Moving takes patients and consideration for others; I think they have the temperament for the job.

Solar Panels on roof example

Residential Solar Inspections©


Some sellers assume a home inspection covers the solar system, but home inspectors will not perform a Residential Solar Inspection©.  Home inspectors do not offer to perform Residential Solar Inspections© because they do not have the required expertise to evaluate a solar system. 

If you have put in an offer to sell a house with solar, it is important that not only should you have a home inspection, but also that you have a Residential Solar Inspection© performed by The Solar Detective. 858-519-8415 call them

Have Solar Detective check it out first. (Before you Sell)

Have them inspected before you List your home for sale. (I will remind you.)

Have them inspected before you List your home for sale. (I will remind you.)

Damaged Solar Panels example

Realtors or home inspectors do not evaluate this. Solar Inspector will.


Solar panels (like them or not) are part of the home selling processes in San Diego, CA. It is essential to know before you enter any obligations or RLA-RPA contracts. Whether the homeowner purchased the system outright; in that case, you need to know about the system's maintenance, capacity, and longevity. So, you can sell the increased value of the system on top of the home sale price. If leased, you will need to get approved by the leasing company, and you will want to know about easements, if any, to access the panels to put in the contract for your protection. Call me if you have questions, or better yet, call The Solar Detective directly at 858-519-8415 

Home selling strategies - 1031 Exchange

1031 Exchange (Tax Advantage) is for business or income properties. Not for your primary residence. The video covers some of the basics that some people ask me. The main takeaway is that you need to hire your own "1031 Exchange Accommodator" to manage the process. 


If you want to do a 1031 Exchange on your income or business property, I would like to be your realtor.


Generally Speaking, The Key Takeaways may be: Your 1031 exchange Accommodator will ask you for three properties you wish to purchase. (You only need to buy one) These “3” properties must be selected within 45 days from the Close of the Escrow date. (The address MUST be sent to the Accommodator, NOT the Realtor) 

Final Property Purchases must be completed within 135 days from the end of the 45 previous days. The 1031 Accommodator is the Director, and your ground support is the Realtor.

Home selling strategies

Staging - STRATEGIES

Recommended Home Stager Dana Ritchie.


  I always recommend staging a home for sale. Yes, it is difficult to tell the homeowner to remove everything that has made their home special and uniquely individualized for their own personal taste. Selling a home for the most amount of money almost always requires the removal of personal items; Buyers need a blank slate to build their own hopes and dreams in the property.



Videos of Marketing Stratigies

"Digital Marketing for your home"

When you decide to use me as your Listing Agent. This video is an example of the type of Digital Marketing you could expect. I use Adwerx and others to promote your home for sale. With this software, you will receive "usage stats" on a weekly basis. (More or less, your choice)  It’s how real estate is sold in our digital world.  

"Digital Marketing Pool Awareness on Social Media"

I am running, "My 5 Tips for pool safety" video on Nextdoor & Facebook this month.  I am an ASM for "UC" Troop 271, and Pool safety, along with the  swimming merit badges are very important for our kids.


 As pool owners, we need to do our part also. I you have not already, please secure your pool before something bad happens. (it's the law) Feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding pool safety. I am happy to stop by and discuss the topic without making any judgments. (Just want to help) 

Professional

Integrity and Character is the difference. Real Estate transaction are large moments in our lives. Making the right decision start with working with Michael Frey as your Agent. 

Tips for selling a home in San Diego

Additional Information

The inspection contingency deadline comes up fast

By default, California real estate sale contracts provide 17 days from after the contract has been ratified for buyers to complete inspections and make any necessary requests for repair.


You, the buyer, have a right to control inspections of the property

The buyer is in charge of any inspections conducted on the property and has a right to speak with the inspector and ask any questions they may have during the inspection. If a seller has made it difficult to schedule an inspection of the home or is personally interfering in the inspection, the buyer may have a right to an extension of time to conduct these inspections.


Requests for repair must be submitted before the inspection deadline

The 17-day deadline to make any requests for repairs comes up fast. Nevertheless, this is the date by which you must make your requests to repair items on the property you’re seeking to purchase.


The seller may not honor your request

If you request a repair, the seller has the right to ignore, deny, or agree to the request, or attempt to negotiate a compromise.


You have to take action by the inspection deadline

As a buyer, you must either rescind any requests and contingencies on the sale, request additional time to complete more inspections or repairs, or cancel the transaction if requests for repair are ignored or denied.


You may well be able to retain your earnest money deposit if you cancel the sale

If your requests for repairs are refused by the seller, you are likely entitled to a refund of your earnest money on deposit. Even if you cancel the sale after an unsuccessful negotiation of the repairs you requested, rather than an outright refusal to make repairs, a real estate lawyer can assist you in getting back the deposit funds you’ve provided to the buyer so far.


Repairs must be completed before closing

If you and the seller do agree that certain repairs be made to the property, these repairs must be completed by five days before the scheduled close of escrow.

If you are in need of skilled and knowledgeable legal counsel for a real estate transaction or disputed sale in Southern California, contact the San Diego real estate litigation attorney Jon Alan Enochs for a consultation, at 619-421-3956. (Refured from SDAR)
