Pricing Strategy
The trick to get the most money for your home is to get multiple offers and have them bid the price up. This is called an auction effect.
You can create an auction by offering the most value on the market and driving competition between buyers, rather than pricing high so that buyer are negotiating against you.
To be successful, it is critical to price the home properly. We look at real buyers who have purchased similar properties to yours which leads us to our price recommendation.

Testimonials
I was a first time homeowner and was super nervous of the home buying process. Frances was always available to answer any questions, no matter the time of day. She was always looking at new postings, taking in my particular needs and wants and sending information that would seem relevant to my home buying process. She was always 2 steps ahead of the game!! She could not have made the first home buying process any easier. Will definitely recommend her to anyone, and I myself will go to her for future sales, or purchases.
Yessenia Ramirez
When we started the process of buying a home we had no earthly idea where to start. We took the jump and simply called one of those realtor signs on the front of a house. We connected with Ryan Rite and Frances Villagran. We began our home buying process and Frances led us every step of the way. If you want the down to earth agent, Frances is your person. She showed up to every meeting, answered every call and gave us the reassurance we needed going through the process. We even had an opportunity to meet her family on one of our quick Sunday meets. She seems like a wonderful person both in and out of her work. We hope to work with her again someday and will be giving her name and number to all. Thank you again Frances.
Jessica Chavez
Very helpful and attentive. Went above and beyond for me. Explained the home buying process to me several times. Made sure i understood everything that was going on. Also, helped me get in contact with someone that helped first time buyers with a down payment assistance program. Highly recommend.
Bridget
Frances was always very quick to respond and very flexible/accommodating with our schedules. She helped us find the perfect home for our family in the area that we were looking for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help prepare my home for sale?
Yes we can coordinate vendors for you.
Many of our clients are not located in the local area, and we help them by coordinating different repairmen for routine maintenance.
Can I buy and sell a home at the same time?
Yes, you can handle this through a simultaneous close, which means you close both transactions at the same time. We have extensive experience in this type of transaction.
It is our pleasure to coordinate your experience to make it as smooth as possible.
I don’t want to host an open house, is that okay?
Absolutely. If you prefer not to have an open house, that is totally fine.
That said, we have had success hosting launch events, so if you can stomach an open house, we do recommend it.
Is your commission negotiable?
We offer 3 commission levels, with different services attached to each one. You can pick the level of service / commission based on your needs.
Keep in mind, we work for free until your property sells, so there is no cost until your home is sold!
