Sell Your Home
To successfully sell your home in this market requires the three P’s:  Price, Preparation, and Promotion.  Sidewalk Homes will help you with all three.

Price

The most important part of the process is pricing your home aggressively to compete in today’s market.  By charging you less to sell your home, you are able to offer better pricing to buyers and increase the amount of cash you take home from the sale.    We are pricing experts in the Tri Valley.

Preparation

Curb appeal can be the difference between a quick sale and a lingering dwelling.  We have a vast network of service professionals to help you get your property sparkling.   We’ll tell you which improvements will give you the most bang for your buck.  We’ll give your home our seal of approval and place our sign and lockbox on the property and list it on the mls, all at no cost to you. 

Promotion

Traditional brokerages will tell you about their fancy print campaigns.  Sidewalk Homes recognizes that today, over 80% of all searches begin on the internet.  Every home listed by Sidewalk Homes will have at least 9 photos on the mls and internet websites, including Realtor.com.  We will host 1 open house – open houses rarely bring the ultimate buyer, traditional realtors use them mainly to market themselves. 

How You Save

We charge 1.95% of the sales price to sell your home.  This is half of the traditional commission charged by many other brokerages.  Based on a $500,000 home and a 3% listing commission, that’s a savings of $5,250!! 

And it Won’t Cost You a Penny If Your Home Doesn’t Sell

Listing with Sidewalk Homes is absolutely free.  That’s right, we’ll list your home on the mls with 9 photos, market it on multiple websites, including Realtor.com and Craigslist, make professional flyers, place a Sidewalk Homes sign and East Bay lockbox on the property, hold one open house,  draft you a ‘net sheet’ of estimated seller proceeds, and if we don’t sell your home, you owe us nothing. 

Cancel our Listing at Any Time for Any Reason

Things change.  We won’t hold it against you.  If, at any time before your home is placed in escrow, you decide to cancel our listing agreement, for any or no reason, simply call us and tell us you’d like to cancel your listing with Sidewalk Homes.  We’ll pick up our things, shake your hand, and wish you the best.  Really.
