Selling your home in the Village of Arroyo Grande
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 the Village of Arroyo Grande really takes
The Village of Arroyo Grande is one of the most recognizable areas in town, known for its older homes, tree-lined streets, and a walkable downtown. Buyers come here for the character. Your job as a seller is to keep that character and be honest about what's behind the walls.
Older homes are where a contractor's eye pays for itself. I look at the foundation, the wiring, the plumbing, the sewer line under those old trees, and any additions from decades past. Some of it you'll want to fix. Some of it you should disclose and price in. And you should leave alone a lot of what a friend told you to remodel, because ripping out original details can cost you twice.
Then your EPIC Report gives you three prices with the tradeoff of each spelled out. See more about the Village.
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.
