Traditional Home Listing
For many homeowners, the traditional listing is still the right path. The home is priced strategically, prepared to show well, marketed to the widest possible audience, and negotiated through to closing with a clear plan at every step. Cathy has done this for more than 33 years, and she brings that experience to every detail of your sale.
Pricing the home right from day one
The most important decision in a sale is the starting price. Price too high and the home sits, losing its momentum and its freshness with buyers. Price too low and you leave equity on the table. Cathy uses current market data, recent sales in your neighborhood, and 33 years of judgment to set a price that brings serious buyers while protecting your equity.
Preparing the home to show its best
Preparation does not mean spending a fortune on renovations. It means focusing on the things that move buyers: curb appeal, decluttering, deep cleaning, and small repairs that remove objections. Cathy will tell you honestly what is worth doing and what is not, so you do not spend money that will not come back to you.
Marketing that reaches real buyers
Your home is marketed through the local multiple listing service, so every agent in the region sees it, along with professional photography, online exposure, and agent networks built over decades of working Southwest Riverside County.
Negotiation and the close, in plain English
Contingencies, inspections, appraisals, repair requests, closing costs: every part of a sale can feel complicated. Cathy explains each one in everyday language, negotiates on your side, and keeps you informed at every step so the process never happens to you without your understanding.
How much does it cost to sell a house in California?
The biggest costs are typically the commission and closing costs, plus any preparation you choose to do. Every sale is different, and Cathy will give you a clear, written picture of the expected costs before you make any decision.
How long will my home take to sell?
It depends on the market, the price, the condition, and the season. Cathy will give you an honest range for your neighborhood after reviewing your home, and she will keep you updated with real feedback as showings happen.
What if my home does not sell?
That is where experience shows. She will help you figure out what happened with data, not guesses, and build a better plan. Read more in our guide on what to do when your home does not sell.
