Selling your home in Stonebrook
A contractor's walkthrough before the price when you're open to it, three EPIC prices, and marketing that finds the buyer.
What selling in Stonebrook really takes
Stonebrook is a gated Lompoc community of mostly 1990s homes, many with four bedrooms, and it has an HOA. Buyers like the privacy and the maintained landscaping. They also know how old a 1990s house is getting.
Homes from that decade have reached the age where the big items come due. If your roof, furnace, air conditioning, or water heater is original, a buyer's inspector will say so. I like to walk your home first and tell you which of those to replace, which to price in, and which to leave alone. You'll know before you list, and you won't be negotiating it after.
Your buyer will also want the HOA's documents and budget, so we pull those together early. Because the homes are similar, your condition is what sets you apart. See more about Stonebrook.
A walkthrough before a number
Most agents start with a price. I start with your house. Before we talk numbers, I like to walk it as a licensed general contractor: the roof, the foundation, the plumbing, the electrical, and the attic. I'm looking for what a buyer's inspector will find, so you hear about it first, from me, while you still have choices.
If you're open to it, that walk becomes your Fix/Skip list. Fix what changes your price or could stall the sale. Skip everything else. You won't spend a dollar on a repair that won't come back to you, and you won't get blindsided in escrow by something you could have handled on your own terms.
Three prices instead of one
Your EPIC Report replaces the usual comparative market analysis. Instead of one number pulled from past sales, you get three prices, each with its tradeoff written out: one built to draw a crowd, one aligned with the market, and one that stretches. I'll tell you which I'd choose and why. You make the call. Here's how the EPIC Report works.
Then the marketing goes to work. Every listing gets professional photos, video, and drone footage, a virtual tour, a page built for the home, Facebook ads tested and adjusted, and short videos on five platforms. See the full marketing plan.
Offers you can trust
A high offer that can't close is worth less than a fair one that can. I check every buyer and their lender before you review an offer, so you know which ones are real. During escrow, I read inspection requests as a contractor and tell you what a repair should actually cost, so you don't overpay to keep the deal together.
You'll get weekly updates with real showing data, not vibes: how many people came through, what they said, and what it means for your price. If something isn't working, we change it early instead of waiting a month to find out. You're always in control of the final decision.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to replace an original roof before selling my Stonebrook home?
Not always. It depends on its condition and on what buyers are paying for right now. I'd like to walk the home and tell you whether to replace it or price it in.
Should I make repairs before selling my Stonebrook home?
Only the ones on your Fix/Skip list. I like to walk your home as a contractor first, so you only fix what changes your price or could stall the sale.
Do you charge for the photos, video, and drone?
No. Professional photos, video, and drone footage come with every listing, at every price.
