Beautiful homes command premium prices, we know this. In the East Bay, where buyers have discerning taste, high expectations and more options as of late, presentation matters more than ever. Properties with high-end staging, strategic updates, and inviting curb appeal consistently outperform the competition. At MAJ, our approach is this: for every dollar invested in pre-listing preparation, sellers should see at least a three-dollar return. This 1:3 ratio guides every recommendation we make.
Ok, so how do we pay for this?
Over the years, we've heard the same concern again and again: "I know these improvements will help, but how do I afford them before I sell?" It's a real barrier, and we get it! It’s also why we have spent decades fine-tuning our process to ensure our sellers find solutions for every financial hurdle that may arise. So fear not!
We've cultivated relationships with trusted local vendors who understand our market and why sellers need flexibility. They are long-standing and valued relationships that have been built on years of collaboration, reliability, trust and most importantly, results. Our network consists of stagers, contractors, landscapers, and other service providers that will complete the work now and get paid from your sale proceeds at closing.
In short, the work gets done, your home looks incredible, and everyone gets paid when escrow closes. It's a win-win!
Our Full-Service Approach
Beyond our vendor network, we offer full concierge services for sellers who want us to handle the details—design consultation and coordination from start to finish. Whether you want to be hands-on or prefer to hand it all off to us, we'll meet you where you are.
We Know What East Bay Buyers Want
With our decades of experience listing homes throughout the inner East Bay, we have defined exactly what resonates with buyers in our market. We help you focus on the improvements that truly deliver that 3X return. Beyond the pricing strategy, beyond the reputable name recognition, lies another layer to the bevy of make or break choices when marketing your home. These seemingly small differentiators have a major impact. In a sea of white walls, being able to navigate what design moments set your home apart is vital and also, commonly undervalued. We have found immense success by way of our MAJ moments, if you will… so rest assured that you need not worry about making these decisions on your own, we got you!
To Sum It Up
Don't let upfront costs prevent you from getting top dollar for your home. We understand this market, we know what works, and we've made it easier than ever to prepare your home and maximize the return of your investments.
