💼 The Lamorinda Seller’s Prep Guide

How to maximize the sale of your Lafayette, Moraga, or Orinda home

Lamorinda buyers are sophisticated. They pay premium prices, but they also expect a polished, well-documented home. Sellers who under-prep leave money on the table; sellers who over-improve never recoup it. The right prep is the difference.

This free 4-page seller’s prep guide covers:

✅ Timing the Market — When to list and which weeks to avoid

✅ Pre-List Prep — Documents, inspections, and physical prep that pays back

✅ Pricing Strategy — The two viable approaches and the red flags to skip

✅ Marketing — What Lamorinda buyers actually look at before stepping inside

✅ Offer Review & Escrow — Reading terms, not just price

✅ Seller Quick Facts — Closing costs, timelines, sewer lateral, fire mitigation
