Current Market Status

Selling Your Home in 2024

It’s still a seller’s market. The recent drop in mortgage rates and record low inventory keeps the market skewed in your favor. However, buyers have less purchasing power and are more cautious today. Multiple offers are still common but should be handled delicately. Overplaying your hand can result in scaring off good buyers by asking for too much.

Getting Your Home Ready For Sale:

1. Identify Your Target Buyers
The age, layout, condition and even location of your home will attract different buyers. By identifying your likely buyer first, we can prep and market your home to appeal to what’s most important to them.


2. Pre-Listing Prep: Declutter, clean, photography, etc.
Buyers are actively online looking for a home like yours. We want to make a lasting impression:

  • Declutter
  • Have it professionally cleaned
  • Professional photos & video
  • Aerial photos & video
  • Virtual staging
  • Custom website

3. Price Your Home & List It For Sale
PRICING: There are pros and cons to consider no matter which strategy you choose when pricing your home – pricing low in hopes of a bidding war vs. pricing high and expecting to negotiate, etc.

LISTING FOR SALE: MLS, Zillow, Redfin, Etc. – We’ll get started on our online presence including your custom webpage.

We want to generate a buzz and make sure everyone knows about your house to hopefully attract multiple offers.

4. Finding Your Buyer and Negotiating a Smooth Transaction
A negotiation strategy is one of the most important steps to selling a house and the key to structuring the best terms to ensuring a successful sale. I worked hard to earn my Certified Negotiation Expert designation to get you the highest possible price in the shortest amount of time.

I've Helped Families All Around The Conejo Valley Sell Their Home

Here's what others have to say:

“Can I give more than five stars? Michael was the absolute best person to work with. I was a complete novice in the selling market and he was calm, quick to explain everything, funny, and so knowledgeable! He always had my back and made the negotiations so easy.”

- SHARON MORLEY

“We were impressed with Michael’s knowledge of the area, honesty and professionalism. There were 12 homes for sale on my street. With Michael’s help we were the only ones that sold with multiple offers and with the highest price for our floor plan. He came personally to every showing, every open house and handled the negotiations so strategically and skillfully… We strongly recommend Michael to anyone who is looking for an agent that they can trust.”

- PEGAH & RAMIN RAVEN

“In just one week Michael helped me sell my home for over asking price, and much more than I anticipated going into the process. While I was coordinating my upcoming relocation out of CA, it was comforting to know I was working with someone I could trust and would look out for my best interests so I had more time to plan other logistics of the move. After receiving multiple offers in the first weekend, Michael helped me understand the pros of each offer, as well as any potential risks. His openness and honesty helped guide me through a successful negotiation. From our first meeting, to the close of escrow and even afterwards, Michael remained responsive and readily available to answer all my questions along the way.”

- HEATHER RYAN
