Traditionally, spring and early summer bring more buyers, but Lamorinda’s strong schools and family appeal mean homes sell year-round. The “best” time often depends on your personal timeline and the market’s current pace.

Well-priced and well-presented homes in Lamorinda often receive strong interest within the first 2–3 weeks. Average days on market vary by season and price point, but preparation and pricing strategy are key.

Yes, staging is highly recommended. Buyers in Lamorinda are looking for move-in ready homes. Staging highlights your home’s best features, photographs beautifully, and helps buyers imagine living there.

Typical costs include agent commission, staging, inspections, possible repairs, and closing costs. I provide a net sheet upfront so you know what to expect.

The market shifts seasonally, but demand is consistently strong because of top-rated schools, community feel, and proximity to San Francisco. I provide current market reports, so you know exactly where your home stands.

Yes. Open houses are common in Lamorinda and create buzz during the first weeks on market. Even if a buyer doesn’t come directly from the open house, they build momentum and exposure.

I combine traditional and digital strategies: professional photography, staging, print marketing, neighborhood outreach, targeted online ads, and exposure across MLS + major real estate platforms.

We’ll start with a comparative market analysis (CMA)—looking at recent sales in your neighborhood, current competition, and unique features of your home. From there, we determine a smart pricing strategy.
