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.

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

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.

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 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.  listing agent / home seller in La Jolla San. Diego

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 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. 

 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.

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.  

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