For sellers
Sell your home for what it's actually worth.
Strategic pricing, professional staging, and a marketing plan that puts your home in front of the right buyers.
The selling process
Four phases — and you have a clear picture of what's happening at each one.
- 01
Free valuation
I visit your home, walk through what you have and what comparable homes have sold for. You'll get a realistic price range and a recommended list price.
- 02
Prep & list
Light staging, professional photography, and a thoughtful listing description. I handle MLS, marketing materials, and the launch.
- 03
Market & negotiate
Broker previews, open houses, targeted online ads. I review every offer with you and negotiate terms — not just price.
- 04
Close
Coordinate inspections, appraisal, and escrow. From accepted offer to keys-handed-over takes 21–35 days on average.

What clients say after working together.
"Yulia was super patient with me and took me anywhere at anytime. I actually had to withdraw an offer on a home. She was an advocate for me the entire time - no pressure to close. Yulia also sold my home in 24 hours! Can’t do better than that ;-)"

Frequently asked questions
-
How much will my home sell for?
It depends on location, condition, and timing. I'll prepare a detailed comparative market analysis (CMA) using recent sales of similar homes within your immediate area, then walk you through how each factor affects the recommended list price.
-
How long does the selling process take?
From listing to closing, plan on 6–10 weeks for a typical Orange County sale. Well-priced homes in desirable neighborhoods often go under contract within 1–2 weeks; escrow then runs 21–35 days.
-
Do I need to make repairs before listing?
Not necessarily. Major systems (roof, HVAC, electrical) can affect appraisal and inspection negotiations, so it's worth addressing visible problems. Cosmetic touch-ups (paint, light fixtures) almost always pay for themselves. I'll walk through your home and recommend the highest-ROI improvements.
-
Should I stage my home?
For most listings, yes — staged homes typically sell faster and for more. As an interior designer, I can either consult on what to keep / move / replace using your existing furniture, or coordinate full professional staging. We'll match the level of investment to the listing.
-
What are the closing costs for sellers?
Plan for roughly 6–8% of the sale price total — this includes title, escrow, transfer taxes, prorated property taxes, and agent commissions. The biggest variable is commission structure, which we'll discuss during our valuation meeting.
-
What if I need to sell quickly?
If you need certainty over top-dollar, a cash offer can close in 10–21 days with no contingencies. Visit our cash offer page for details on when this option makes sense.
