I just sold a fantastic home in the Richmond Marina. It's located in the gated Breakers Community in the Marina Bay Neighborhood. My buyers really wanted this home and I helped them craft the winning offer in a multiple offer situation.

The home is a 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath single family house and it was originally a model unit, so it has many designer upgrades. The home has cathedral ceilings and great light throughout and my buyers are already adding their personal touches to it.

Things from local events to local news. For instance, Berkeley’s Patch has an article about the best coffee shops in the area. Piedmont currently has information about their local upcoming elections and a police blotter. All are a little different.

Editing Out Your Personal Items and Furniture.

The best thing you can do before your house goes on the market is to de-clutter and de-personalize your home. Remember, you want the buyers to be able to envision themselves living in your home. You don't want them distracted by thinking"I wonder what kind of people live in this house?" Remove family pictures, knick knacks and collectables. You are going to have to pack these things up when you move anyway, so why not do it now?
