In Part 1, we talked about making sure that your financial offer was strong and attractive. 

In Part 2, we will talk about the issues that will develop in buying your Piedmont home, and how to deal with them--that is, dealing with contingencies.  Together, we will spend time, before submitting the offer, deciding what will be the shortest and simplest list of contingencies that would be acceptable to you, and potentially, to the seller.

Sellers want to move on with their lives once they make the decision to place their house on the market.  Quite often, they will need the money from the sale to assure the funds for the purchase of the new house that they have selected.  As a result, if they have a choice between an offer with a long list of…

My job, as your agent, is to get the best possible price when selling your Piedmont Home. To arrive at the correct price depends on many things, but one thing is certain--while the term “Location, Location, Location” is often heard as to a key element in selling your home, perhaps “Price, Price, Price” may be right up there next to it. You may be in one of the best neighborhoods in town, but if you have priced your home in such a way that no one is going to even consider buying it, you have lost your major advantage of the home’s location. To start you on your path to sell your home, I will prepare a Market Analysis for you. This will be a written presentation for you to review and consider. In this presentation, I will show you what other Piedmont homes,…

Whether you live in an Oakland bungalow, or a large Piedmont mansion, you want your home to have the very best in curb appeal. The good news is that you can make things special, and do it on a budget. The hardest part is stepping away from your home, and seeing it as your neighbor or a future buyer might see it for the first time. That can be a interesting experience. What you see as cozy and cute, might be seen as crowded and small by an outsider.

Here are some inexpensive corrections to improve the approach to your front door

a. Clean up your walkway. Remove weeds between the cracks, level any paving stones.

b. Sweep and rake everywhere, removing all debris under the bushes and plants and in gutters.

c. Pull up all dead plants and outdated,…

In 2011 I sold 19 homes ranging up to $1.25 million and I have many of you to thank for it. Only the top 4 percent of BH&G agents nationwide, of more than 1,800 agents working for BH&G, are given the award.  I hope that 2012 brings me as much happiness and joy as last year.

Thanks again!

A while back I was blogging about the Oakland Mansion in Rockridge of Green Day's Billy Joe Armstrong, which was quickly sold for 4.8 million. After viewing it, many I'm sure wondered where he might be moving on to?

Where does one go from an already amazing Rockridge home, in one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in the East Bay?

Well, it turns out that Billy Joe has built a Luxury Home in Piedmont, and not just any home. It actually won top honors for new construction in Piedmont, by the Piedmont Planning Commission's 2010 Design Awards held May 10. When one thinks of Piedmont, stately vintage homes come to mind, not new construction for Rock Stars. Where does one find a lot/tear down to even endeavor such a project? Well, in Billy Joe's case,…
