Hillary’s Quick-Sell Recipe for Your Laguna Beach Home

Hillary Caston with The Coastal Property Experts shares the secrets on how to sell your Laguna Beach home. Look for the 30-Day Guarantee!

Don’t list your Laguna Beach home ... not until it’s ready.

“No problem,” you beam. “I’ve been surveying the market like a hawk. My house is good to go.”

Uh-uh. You’re not going anywhere. Selling your Laguna Beach property actually begins before you sell your home. The big sale is riding on a set of pre-market preparations.

And here they are, neatly encapsulated in Hillary’s Quick-Sell Recipe for your Laguna Beach Home. These guidelines work hand in hand with The Coastal Property Experts guarantee—we’ll have your Laguna Beach home in escrow within 30 days. Or we’ll forego our commission.

  1. Go With an Agent Who Gets Results – Find a winning agent who will sell your home in shortest period of time, which in turn achieves the highest price. The Coastal Property Experts have developed an arsenal of trade secrets to get you the very best price…and get your home in escrow within 30 days – guaranteed. Our many satisfied clients will verify how successful these trade secrets are. Names and phone numbers are available.
  2. Use Street Sense – Your home’s outer appearance is as important as the inner. Landscaping, fresh paint, and flowers entice buyers to step inside. Effective flower colors for The Coastal Property Experts are yellow, blue, and red (Ooops, we just spilled one of our trade secrets.)
  3. Lose It – Clutter stands right behind exorbitant pricing and termite infestations as one of the world’s major buyer turn-offs. So if you don’t need something, lose it. Scour your Laguna Beach home for unwanted items, assigning each to one of three categories – dump, re-locate, or sell. Believe me, somebody on Ebay will want your paper clip collection
  4. Get a Jump on Problems – Do you really know what shape your foundation is in? Could there be termites lurking in the woodwork? Get a licensed inspector to identify and repair problems…before your buyer learns about them and clamors to kick down your listing price. If you opt out of repairs, at least get estimates so you can work these costs into negotiations.
  5. Keep it Clean – Dirty homes send buyers running for the nearest refuge. So clean, bleach and buff your Laguna Beach home until it sparkles like a sunny day. You’ll be making it so much easier for buyers to say ‘yes’!
  6. List Before You List – Over the years, you’ve pepped up your Laguna Beach property with dozens of eye-catching upgrades and repairs. Your agent definitely wants these buyer-attractors listed on the MLS. So unless you have a flawless memory, keep a running list of all those home improvements. And have them handy.
