Ducky is a true Los Gatos and surrounding expert

For the past three decades, I have been a top producing real estate agent in the Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, and Saratoga areas.

Having personally handled over 900 transactions in this region, I possess the detailed expertise that is more important than ever in today’s unique marketplace. With high prices, limited inventory, and uncertainty, there is no single approach for acquiring your desired home or selling for maximum price per square foot. Today an in-depth knowledge of each neighborhood, its history, and the specific home is essential to price the home correctly for the best possible outcome.

Initial Consultation and Pre-Market Preparation

It’s important to start with clear and open communication. It sets the tone for entire process, making sure everyone is on the same page, and ensures that at the end my clients’ goals are met. I am present at every stage of the listing process -- home preparation, marketing, sale, escrow, close, and future real estate needs. I recommend vendors I've had long-standing relationships with so you get faster and better service. My personalized approach ensures you get the best service, long standing experience, and the best possible price for your home.

I start by:

1. Discussing your motivations and expectations

2. Reviewing a Comprehensive Market Analysis

3. Walking through the house

4. Advising on pre-listing inspections and reviewing findings

5. Collaborating on a listing calendar and timeline

6. Strategizing for a faster sale and a strong selling price

Staging Advantage

First impressions are essential and experience has taught me that staging your home results in less time on the market and a higher selling price. Staging goes beyond decluttering and cleaning up.  The goal is to set the stage allowing a buyer to visualize themselves living in the home by placing furniture and accessories that make your home look it’s ultimate best.

I also provide interior and landscaping design recommendations. In today’s competitive market, the small house details (lighting, hardware, paint, etc.) can make a house really stand out, resulting in fewer days on market, attracting more buyers, and greater return on value.

Home Upgrade Before and Afters

In some instances, there may be further possibility to enhance your home at a low cost with great returns. If there are small repairs, small show stoppers, or simple painting that can truly improve the marketability, I have trusted, low cost resources to suggest.

Distinct Architectural Photography

Branding your home with a visual story inspires and encourages greater engagement with buyers. Photography provides a representation of your home that is often the first point of contact, and the first impressions are crucial to the successful sale of your home. Professional photography can act as a driver for sales and can be the key to obtaining the best possible selling price.
