低利率低庫存的環境下，今年是一個賣房的好年，如果你再也懶得管出租房，或是你已經搬出自住房快兩年，又或者你考慮做1031交換，優化資產，或者是考慮換房(但是要有不好換、買方眾多難搶房的心理準備)，賣房之前，您可以先讀一下我在2017年底寫過的文章「為賣房-換房做準備」，如今房市熱銷的情況非常類似。
Do you know the possible tax benefit from selling your primary residence? Thinking about 1031 exchange? Right now, it is a seller’s market in the Bay Area. With near record-low interest rates and low inventory, it is a good time to sell your property.
我寫過一篇文章，是自己在短短七天內就搞定房子準備上市
如果你想換房，我們可以提早做很多準備。
If you are thinking about selling your house in the Bay Area, here is what Maggie’s team can do for you. Please see the listing process below.
以下是賣房前的準備：
#1 上市1-2個月前：先讓我為你做一個presentation，了解我是怎麼賣房子、其中怎麼開價、協助修繕(包括選購remodel材料，選擇油漆顏色、規劃修繕流程等)、還有我們的攝影(3D、video團隊)、Staging、Gardener(需不需要種草、重鋪草、mulch、修樹、剪樹)、與工班修繕(粉刷、Caulking、微裝修)，幫你的房子升級到最佳顏值，房子準備好了之後要如何行銷房子，幫助屋主做到最大的曝光值，賣到最好的價錢。
屋主請詳細告知房子有沒有remodel、 有沒有改建過(With or without permit)
Up to two months prior to listing on the market: I will go over my listing service presentation, which explains the entire selling process and the paperwork involved:
- Determine the listing price based on the current market condition and recent comparable transactions
- Manage a minor remodeling process (as needed)
- Review property remodel history (with or without permit) to determine the best bang-for-the-buck upgrades
- Advise on material selection: paint color, flooring material, countertop, etc.
- Oversee the remodeling process
- Staging
- Highlight the property to create the best first impression
- Landscaping (if applicable)
- Lawn/mulch/tree trimming to showcase a well-cared for home
- Media creation
- Custom website with 3D tour and video advertisement
- Maximize views by targeted buyer (by price level, age group, etc.) via social media ad buys

以上是賣房的大概流程，但是買賣過程通常不會完全沒事，時不時會有一些小插曲，這個時候經紀人的買賣房經驗就能派上用場。
While this might not appear to be an overly complex process, the devil is always in the details. Having an experienced agent who understands the current market, knows how to get the right eyeballs to see the listing, and quickly mitigates any unexpected/unforeseen issues during this whole process will ensure a smooth transaction at a great price!
Our Listing Fee Covers : Staging, Website (photos, virtual tour & video), Remodel Project Management, Deep Clean, Touch up, Listing Agent Commission, Buyer Agent Commission and Property Maintenance During Showing Period. Here are some of my listings,
