Sandi Clark
Residential Realtor
Biography
Putting your home on the market isn’t as easy as posting a sign in the yard and
hoping someone bites. To sell a home one needs to have a level of dedication
and passion that can be transferred to potential buyers. Sandi Clark and Debbie
Miller at First Team Real Estate exhibit those qualities and more. Having Sandi
and Debbie as your Orange County real estate agents will make the entire selling
process a breeze.
SANDI CLARK AND DEBBIE MILLER MAKE UP THE TEAM
YOU NEED TO SELL YOUR ORANGE COUNTY HOME
AND CONTINUE LIFE AS YOU’VE PLANNED.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Part of what Sandi and Debbie do to make sure your home sells is the first
impression. When potential buyers come to an open house or see it online their
first impression of the home is what will stick. Many things need to be done to
prepare, and Sandi and Debbie are there throughout the entire process. Not only
will you get tips to make your home look its best but you will get the help you
need to complete them. While Sandi and Debbie are part of First Team
Real Estate, the most important team-up will be with you, the seller.
COMPETITION
Another way Sandi and Debbie get a home sold is through competition and
relationships. By using the relationships built over the course of years with other
agents, an energetic environment is created. Every open house hosted at your
home welcomes many people to come and check out your home. When the
number of visitors in the span of a few hours is high, you get a sense of urgency.
That urgency breeds competition and is one of the best ways to get multiple
offers. The key to this tool is the relationship built between Sandi and Debbie and
other agents.
THE LAST DEAL
While relationships, urgency, appearances and multiple offers will all help sell
your home, it’s the last deal that matters most. Sandi and Debbie will never
finalize a transaction without your approval. To help you understand, Sandi and
Debbie will walk you through each step. The goal is negotiate the terms that make
sense for your situation. That’s why they ask a lot of questions! The more they
know, the better they are at getting a qualified buyer, a perfect price and a close
of escrow.
Sandi and Debbie not only work in Orange County but live here as well. That
means not only are they your real estate agents in Orange County, but they’re
also your neighbors. As neighbors, Sandi and Debbie aim to ensure you are
happy with your sale and moving onto the future with high hopes and the tools
needed to get there safely.
