Getting your Home Ready to Sell
There is a lot that goes into selling your property and getting top dollar. The first step to make sure your property stands out as a great value is by making sure the price, timing and marketing is right. A good rule of thumb is to make sure that any painting, cleaning, or decluttering should be completed a week before the listing going live. We can also discuss if upgrades or renovations are needed and if so, we have the resources to help get it done in a cost-effective manner. Select houses benefit from professional staging, which can easily be done by the agent and homeowner. Upon the initial walkthrough of the property, we will let you know if professional home staging would increase the net proceeds from the sale of your home. It is important for potential buyers to be able to see themselves in your property without distractions and understand how a floor plan can work for them. When these important tasks are completed, we can hire a professional photographer to photograph your property, making a great first impression that stands out is key. In addition, we can have a professional video taken of your home that helps potential buyers understand the flow of your property. Once we set a day and time for a photographer to arrive, we will make sure your house is ready. Here are a couple of bullet points to keep in mind during the photoshoot.
Make sure there are minimum number of people at the property
Photoshoots range from 1-3 hours, depending on the size of the house
Remove all personal and miscellaneous items and make sure they are put away
Tidy the exterior of the property
After the professional photography is done and the home is listed, the listing agent will show the home by appointment only. If preferred, we can conduct a virtual showing as well. Our goal is to make the process of listing and selling your home as hassle-free as possible.

“Working with the sellers was the perfect fit for me and the entire team at Salcito Custom Homes. The sellers were looking for an estate suitable to accommodate large scale entertaining, frequent visits from out of state family and friends and at the same time they never wanted to feel out of scale during intimate family time. The end result is a magnificent modern Mediterranean estate situated and nestled on a private site with endless views of city lights and amazing sunsets. The sellers have sophisticated taste and pay attention to every detail. Those two qualities show up in every inch inside and out of the home. We specialize in meeting the needs of clients like that and we are very proud of this one,” said Anthony Salcito Jr, president and owner of Salcito Custom Homes.
“Having designed on many fabulous properties, this is one of the most extraordinary homesites in Silverleaf. It offers privacy with a quintessential estate arrival experience down a long descending tree-lined drive that builds anticipation. The grandeur of the home is expressed as a Modern Mediterranean home, and then unfolds upon entering the Foyer to a beautiful contemporary arch framed view of the Valley and city lights at night,” said Architect Dale Gordon. “It is rare to be able to design a home with all primary living spaces all enjoying the A+ view orientation indoors and out. The Homeowners allowed us the freedom to configure the home in a manner that captures it all.”
