Getting the Best Value for Your Home

A strategic sales plan, coupled with a smart buy in your new location will ensure that you recoup the maximum value for your home.

Plan Strategically
Consult with a local real estate agent to ensure your house is priced competitively and shows its best. There are three key factors to getting a home sold—location, price, and condition and only two are under your control: price and condition. Of the two, price is more significant. Remember that if a home is priced properly, it will compensate for poor condition, but whatever the condition, it will never overcome a incorrectly priced home.

The best price you’ll get in today’s market is the one you get now. Don’t worry about where the market has been, keep your focus on where it is going. The price your neighbor down the street got six months ago is not relevant in a market where your house is competing with others from all across town. A local, knowledgable real estate agent will be able to help you decide how to pinpoint your price with precision.

Buy Smart
Whether you are moving to an area where prices are in a downturn or have plans to move up to a nicer home in the same town, selling your house now can get you into the home of your dreams. Whether home prices are on the rise or on the decline, either presents a great opportunity for a savvy homeowner looking to move up. Even if your house price may be lower, the loss at sale can be made up by greater savings at purchase because generally, if home prices are declining, that tends to occur across the board.

By teaming with an experienced local agent who knows how to work with the current market and who can assist in showcasing your home, you'll will get the most from the sale of your home.

With Clam Chowder and Madonna, Intero Agents Get Creative Giving Back




Kim Connor and Julie Wyss go the extra mile for children within our communities
CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA (October 22, 2012) – A random act of kindness, paying it forward, giving, this is how to best describe the actions of two very generous Intero Real Estate Services Realtors® who recently made large donations to the Intero Foundation in very unconventional ways – Julie Wyss with Madonna tickets, and Kim Connor with Sam’s ChowderMobile.
The Intero Foundation is a non–profit organization founded by the leadership and agents of Intero Real Estate Services, Inc. in 2002. The foundation has raised more than $2 million to benefit children living in the local communities. Most often Intero agents choose to give on a monthly basis or during each real estate transaction, but within the same week Intero had two benevolent agents who thought outside the box and got creative.
Wednesday October 3rd, Intero agents and guests from all over the south bay came together to enjoy Sam’s ChowderMobile Intero’s Saratoga office on Saratoga Avenue.  This event was organized by Kim Connor, a Realtor® in that office.  The result of this event was a generous donation to the Intero Foundation from Kim Connor who matched the sales of the event.  Kim ended up making a personal donation of $3,200 to the foundation.
Also last week, Julie Wyss, a Broker Associate at the Intero Los Gatos office, auctioned off two tickets to the sold out Madonna MDNA Tour who was performing this past Saturday October 6th, at the HP Pavilion in downtown San Jose.  The highest bidder, Candace Levers, a Realtor® from Intero’s Los Gatos office, wrote the check for $760 directly to the Intero Foundation.
Gino Blefari, President and CEO of Intero Real Estate Services says “It never ceases to amaze me the generosity of our Intero agents and it’s great to see them thinking outside the box to raise money for the Intero Foundation. These agents are a perfect example of the values that guide our business.”
