What are my qualifications to sell your property?

A successful track record in marketing high-end luxury properties, years of proven experience in negotiating, plus the backing of an international company, positions me to support you with the utmost standard of excellence in the sale of your home. With the collaboration of the Pacific Sotheby’s and the entire Cathy Gilchrist-Colmar Team, our combined resources, knowledge, and expertise will be put to work on your behalf. I am committed to the diligent and targeted efforts necessary to accomplish your goals.

What commitments will I make to sell your property?

I will make a significant financial and personal commitment to promote your property utilizing our extensive and consistent marketing in a variety of print publications with local, national, and international exposure as well as a strong online presence. My pro-active approach includes making personal contact with local and out-of-area brokers and prospective buyers.

Upon executing a written agreement: 

Team will schedule a second tour of the home to become familiar with all the details, highlights, and amenities needed to effectively market the property and to compile the required data to enter it in the MLS and CREST systems. Team will offer suggestions for staging or showing preparation and discuss best options with seller.

Professional Photography, Video and Branding

Our team does not just take a listing, we make a listing come to life with staging, twilight photography and custom video/drone production. A professional photographer will take pictures of your home. This may involve multiple shoots to include day, twilight, and aerial shots. Our team will supervise all photography, aerial drones and video production to perfection. Marketing write ups will be created for advertising, websites, brochures and MLS. 
Based on your property’s unique features and target market, we will customize a marketing plan which will be put into action immediately.

Your home’s online exposure begins with www.sir.com and cascades to our worldwide network of local websites and on to our global media partner’s sites. The benefit of our strategy extends the exposure of extraordinary homes to extraordinary lives in all corners of the globe, no matter if you click, tap or swipe to experience the unique.

Professional Photography, Video and Branding

Our team does not just take a listing, we make a listing come to life with staging, twilight photography and custom video/drone production. Our team will supervise all photography, aerial drones and video production to perfection. Your property’s story will be told to create a complete picture with details of the home’s interior, historic appeal, and Rancho Santa Fe lifestyle

First-hand knowledge of your home by other brokers is an important marketing tool as they are more likely to show a home that they have personally viewed. Their clients rely on them to know their market areas and qualifications.
With your approval, my team will host a brokers’ open house (“caravan”) as soon as your home is ready to be marketed and at various intervals throughout your listing as agreed upon. During these open houses we will showcase and discuss the unique features and the most important selling points of your property with the brokers to allow them to accurately promote it to their clients.
