Ck Signature Process
I help busy families from the Sacramento Region move to happier homes using my Ck Signature Process.
When you moved to California, things were great!
You liked the small-town feel. The friendly neighborhood felt safe living next to all like-minded people. It offered excellent views and resort-style living. You had top-rated schools and plenty of social opportunities.
But now the cost of living is high!
$100 doesn’t buy much anymore! You hardly bring home any groceries for that amount of money. Gas prices are so high that $100 doesn’t fill your gas tank. Happy hour at restaurants (when food and drink used to be cheaper) is now called $100 happy hour. Hard to believe every seat is full by 5:00 pm these days!
And a large percentage of your money goes toward TAXES.
California has the highest taxes in the nation. State sales tax, personal income tax, and gasoline tax are the highest: high corporate income tax and property taxes.
You’re tired of being taxed and getting little in return!
It’s also crowded everywhere you go…
You waste so much time sitting in traffic. With so many people on the roads, it can be challenging to find a parking spot. You spend valuable time standing in long lines at the checkout stands and your appointments.
​
Your quality of life has diminished to the point where you’re unhappy. You can’t find the peace and financial freedom you want. The increased costs and regulations have made it seem impossible to accomplish your best life.
If nothing changes, you’ll continue to pay the highest taxes in the country.
You’ll continue to owe money when you file your taxes each year. Twice a year, property taxes will be due. Each time you fill your car with gas, the price will be so high due to the tariff added to each gallon. Every receipt from the restaurant or store will also have a line item for tax owed.
And you’ll continue to feel like there needs to be more hours in the day.
You’ll waste countless hours on the road, stuck in traffic. You want to spend that time volunteering, visiting with family and friends, or sitting on the porch drinking sweet tea.
You feel like you can make more money but can’t make more time.
When you feel like you need a change, then this is where my Ck Signature Process comes in.
Life is a journey, and new ventures always lie ahead. Most of us don’t like change and therefore get scared and do nothing to improve our situation.
It would be best if you always had clarity on what to do and what that looks like.
You know there’s no hope for peace and financial freedom without making changes. But you aren’t sure about what that looks like.
​
The possibilities feel overwhelming. You keep doing random internet searches and need to get farther. You stay awake all night thinking about the what-ifs. You know if you don’t make a decision soon, you may never make it to the Great Escape and on to living your best life.
​
My CK Signature Process helps you get clear on your next steps and helps you take action to make the move that’s right for your next stage in life.
Step 1 - Plan
First things first! We need to meet in person to discuss YOUR goals and objectives. We need to get to know each other, this helps make sure we’re on the same page and we’re a good fit.
​
Once we narrow the location of your next home, I’ll refer you to a buyer’s agent in the area that best fits your needs. Together we’ll find the right home in an area that suits your lifestyle.
​
You’ll want to be well prepared when your house sells. We have CPA and lender referrals for any tax or loan needs. We’ve also partnered with a company called MoveEasy to assist with most moving needs. It’s a service that’s free to you. They help with everything from moving trucks to utility setup.
Finally, I’ll assess the value of your current home and design an effective pricing strategy. I’ll then show you our marketing plan that gets results! This step is all about creating a plan and timeline so that you know what to expect moving forward.
Step 2. - Property Prep
Now it’s time to prepare the home for staging and photography. Proper preparation brings the best price.
We’ll take a quick tour of your home to assess for repairs and staging. Based on what I see, we may order a home inspection upfront. With this strategy, fewer unknowns will pop up after we accept an offer.
If there are items we decide to repair, I’ll refer you to a list of trusted vendors to choose from, or you may use your own. I can assist with any scheduling. We may also need to remove some of your personal items so the buyer can picture themselves living in the home. You can start packing some things, and we’ll possibly stage your home.
Picture day is a big day in the process. You’ll want your house to look its best. I have a very experienced real estate photographer who will capture your home's best features.
There’s a lot to do to get to this point. But don’t worry. We’ll make a list together and stay on track!
Step 3 - List
Our marketing strategy will help you find the best buyer for your home. We use off and online marketing strategies to attract buyers. These can include professional brochures, mailers, and social media ads. I notify my entire network of agents so we can sell your house! I’ll also
I hold open houses for at least the first weekend to ensure every buyer can view your home. The following week, we are on the local Broker tour for other agents to preview your home. The rest of the time, agents will use the lockbox with our showing instructions. I track every “showing” with my software program and collect all feedback. This information will help us make any adjustments to the listing if needed.
As offers come in, I’ll notify you immediately and thoroughly review each offer. After a thorough review of each offer, we’ll accept, counter, or refuse the offer. I’ll negotiate the best possible price and terms for you.
Step 4 -. Manage Closing
Once we have accepted an offer, the escrow process takes 30 days. I’ll guide you through every step. We have an assistant to remind us of important dates. The assistant also makes sure everyone signs documents on time.
The buyer inspects the home and may ask for repairs. We’ll decide on the repairs you want to complete and the ones you will not. Then the final walk-thru happens five days before we plan to close. The last step is when the title company sets up a time for you to sign the final documents.
During this process, emotions can run high, especially when you sell a house you love. I’m here for you! I’m here now and beyond the transaction. If you need any referrals or recommendations, I’ve got you covered. I’m with you to the end.
