Win Win Solutions for Selling your Property

Distinctive Real Estate is a full service luxury real estate firm providing exceptional service to fortunate buyers and sellers. Distinctive Real Estate recognizes that buyers and sellers whom achieved this level of wealth require a very exceptional level of service which is how Distinctive Real Estate was born.

Distinctive Real Estate is selective in the clientele we work with.  In order to provide the level of service we are proud of, we need to establish a win-win scenario.  Distinctive Real Estate commits on a number of levels to provide exceptional service, and the sellers we work with have a marketable property at a fair price for which the buyer and seller can consummate a sale.

Just as an example, Distinctive Real Estate is creative in its national and international  marketing.  Each individual property is marketed separately, because no two properties are the same.   We target a very specific audience for each property and seek uncluttered marketing tools so that each of our special properties stand out the way they ought to. You might make this comparison as you look at competing real estate firms who advertise every property they have listed for sale on the same page because it is most cost effective for them to do so.  These competing firms do  not subscribe to the win win solution that Distinctive Real Estate is very proud of.

To discuss a potential win win partnership by phone, please call 805.565.0246  You may also email to wgragg@distinctiverealestateonline.com and I will  see to it that you receive the level of service you deserve. 

TIPS ON GETTING YOUR HOME READY TO SELL
EXTERIOR
The condition of your home's exterior is most important when it comes to buyer appeal. Touch up trim paint on doors, window frames, fascia, etc.
If your lawn shows no signs of life, a little fertilizer and some water will do wonders for its color. Mow and edge the lawn frequently until the home is sold.
Overgrown shrubbery should be cut back to show as much of the exterior as possible.
A low-cost investment in seasonal flowers or ground cover will add a personal touch.
Replace missing shutters, gutters, and downspouts and remove any debris.
Inspect the roof for necessary repairs and any visible broken shingles or tiles.
Cracks in the driveway and sidewalks can be easily repaired with ready-mix cement. For excessive stains, there are easy-to-use cleaning agents at your home repair store.
Stucco water stains can be repaired using a mild bleaching agent.
Fences should be mended and painted.
If the street sweeper does not come every week, make sure the area in front of your curb and driveway are clear of debris. Wash it down with the hose.
Wash all windows inside and outside.
All of these suggestions may also apply to your back yard or child's play area.
INTERIOR
Clean your home from top to bottom.
Put all valuables in a safe place.
Repair any cracks or holes in walls and touch-up paint.
Doors should be cleaned and touched-up as well. All torn screens should be repaired or replaced.
Avoid repainting the entire house unless current colors are very loud or offbeat. White or light pastels are the easiest for new homeowners to work with and they make your rooms look larger.
Have carpeting and draperies cleaned.
Carpeting should be vacuumed throughout the house the day your home is being shown.
If you have a fireplace, make sure all tile is in good condition, the screen is in good shape, and the hearth is clean.
Lubricate squeaking doors, windows, and cabinets.
Put deodorizers in each room and closet.
Store out-of-season clothes so closets do not look cluttered.
Pre-pack items, which may clutter your home and make rooms appear smaller.
A few colorful plants will help liven and add color to the interior.
