WHAT TO EXPECT
Home selling with Own Marin
Plan
We start by evaluating your home to determine which updates, if any, are recommended to maximize the final sale price. We’ll arrange bids, create a custom home prep plan and manage the project from start to finish. Our clients get exclusive access to our network of vendors to prepare your home for sale on time and on budget.
Prep
Sit back, relax, and let us do the heavy lifting of preparing your home for sale. Our hand-picked team of experts, including painters, landscapers, stagers, photographers, copywriters, and social media specialists, are ready to showcase the best possible picture of your home and the lifestyle it represents to prospective buyers.
Market
Marketing your home to its target demographic is the key to finding the right buyer fast. Once your home hits the market, we launch custom global and local marketing campaigns that bring motivated buyers through the door. With the largest social media following in the county, our listings receive maximum exposure that deliver results.
Communicate
We represent your home from beginning to end. After every showing we personally reach out to every agent, broker and prospective buyer for feedback and to answer any questions they may have about the property.
Negotiate
Negotiation skills are the most overlooked aspect when choosing a realtor. As trained and skilled negotiators, many of our clients tell us the reason they hired us was for our negotiating expertise, helping them achieve the highest price and best possible terms.
Close Escrow
Selling your home isn’t just about the highest price, it’s also about securing the best terms. We’ll make sure the agents and buyers are fully vetted, the buyers’ financials will be verified and we will keep everyone on track to ensure a smooth and timely escrow.

In Marin, the best times to sell your home are typically spring and fall. Spring sees increased buyer activity as the weather improves and people prepare for summer. Fall is also busy, allowing you to attract buyers before the holidays. Summer can be less favorable due to vacations, and winter often sees decreased interest as people focus on the holidays and homes don't show as well in darker, rainier weather. If you need to sell during these off-peak times, an off-market strategy may be the most effective way to achieve good results.

Selling off-market can be a strategic choice if you seek privacy or wish to bypass the traditional listing process. This approach can be particularly advantageous for high-value properties or those with specific timing needs. We will discuss the potential benefits and considerations to ensure this method aligns with your objectives and market dynamics.

Selling your home involves various costs, including agent commissions, closing costs, and potentially expenses for repairs or staging.
