From First Call to Closing

  1. Pricing: Jay studies recent sales closest to your home and sets a price that draws strong offers.
  2. Preparation: Focus on the repairs and touch-ups buyers notice most, and skip the rest.
  3. Marketing: Professional photos, a strong online listing and outreach to active buyers and agents.
  4. Negotiation: Jay compares every offer on price, terms and buyer strength, then negotiates for you.
  5. Closing: Jay keeps escrow, inspections and deadlines on track through the final signature.

Getting Your Covina Home Ready

Older homes benefit from fresh paint and a pre-listing inspection. Show the yard and any upgrades like solar or new windows.

Covina Seller FAQs

Does being close to downtown Covina help my sale?
Walkable access to Citrus Avenue is a plus for many buyers. Jay compares sales by area so your location is priced right.

Do I have to be home for showings?
It usually works best if you are out. Jay coordinates access and gathers feedback for you.

Is my home value just a number from a website?
Automated estimates are a starting point at best. Jay looks at your actual home and the homes buyers will compare it with.
