As we move forward, we provide expert counsel every step of the way – from setting the right price to closing coordination. Although we cannot give you a 100% guarantee of a “stress free” transaction, we will do our best to help minimize the hassles.
Comparative Market Analysis
We prepare an objective value assessment of your home and the surrounding neighborhood based on today’s market conditions to ensure you’re going to receive top dollar. We look at current and emerging marketplace trends to determine the probability of sale based on several pricing strategies. As we have represented numerous buyers we know the amount a buyer will pay for a home. We take pride knowing we have a better understanding of the marketplace than most Silicon Valley agents. Through this knowledge, we can assure you that your property will sell faster, and for more money.
Preparing For the Sale of Your Property
Our preparation advice will help you add value to your home before we place it on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). We counsel you through the many decisions:
- What repairs should we make?
- Should I get inspections in advance?
- Should I stage my property?
- What are the tax implications if I sell my home now?
- Special needs counseling
- Senior counseling
- Estate / Probate issues

The list of decisions can become extremely long and complex so your choice of agent is critical. StynesGroup is here to make your sale as easy as possible.
Marketing Your Home
Our custom marketing plan will direct more REALTORS and potential buyers to find your home by focusing on today’s vital real estate selling strategies: Web-based tools (Realtor.com, MLSListings.com, Trulia.com, KW.com, Yahoo.com, Stynesgroup.com, and Craigslist.com), Broker and real estate agent exposure, print advertising, and professional representation.
Buyer Verification
We know how to find potential buyers, and we know hot to verify their ability to buy your home. It’s of no value to accept a contract that doesn’t result in a closed sale. While it’s your real estate agent’s job to communicate the benefits and value of your home, it’s equally important to make sure your home sale actually closes on time. The first step starts with accepting the correct offer based on validating the buyer’s credit worthiness by speaking with the buyer’s lender and even requesting a second credit check with a known lender. By going the extra step we can avoid pitfalls during the closing process.
Negotiating with Proven Market Experience
We negotiate the purchase agreement aggressively to ensure that you receive top dollar and are equally protected to avoid problems down the road. We are comfortable using the two major contract formats, either provided by the California Association of Realtors (CAR) or by the PRDS, which are used locally.
Closing the Transaction
We coordinate the paperwork and meetings regarding the closing of your home sale with inspectors, lenders, agents, escrows, title companies, and the buyer. We also put you in touch with services from other companies that you might find useful during the closing, such as contractors, movers, landscapers, painters and pet sitters. After the closing, we follow up periodically to make sure you were satisfied with our services and to inform you about services you could benefit from in the future.
