HOMES SOLD / STORIES TOLD

A Few of the Many Homes Sold by Scott & Cindy Real Estate

Stillwater Lane, Anaheim Hills

A recent favorite sale as the results were incredible and our client - extremely happy.

A picture says a thousand words. Professional photography is critical to
effectively market a home, and we have a great photographer. We encourage twilight photography. A little more expensive (on us, our dime), however, worth it, in our opinion. As mentioned, our client was extremely happy.....

“Amazing & Incredible are the words that come to mind when describing the job that Scott & Cindy did with selling my home. Their advise on how to prepare my home to get top-dollar was spot-on. Scott himself repaired and painted a wall for me, and his other recommended resources did great work as well. Their marketing was absolutely amazing. I loved that they did not use a lock box – Scott did every showing personally (and there were many). And their results were incredible. I highly recommend."

Another recent favorite sale as the results were incredible and our client - extremely happy.....

"Scott is an exceptional realtor and we wholeheartedly recommend using him if you are thinking of selling your home. Originally, my wife and I were going to use a personal friend. But, deciding to get a second opinion first, we reached out to Scott – and we are so glad we did! He displayed incredible knowledge of the neighborhood and surrounding community. He was always available within minutes, which made it easy to show our house on a dime. His results were incredible. With his marketing and expertise, he was able to sell our house in less than a week and we ended up getting quite a bit above asking price. He handled everything for us while we were out of state looking for our new replacement home, making the entire experience painless, easy, and hands-free. He also did every showing personally, which we appreciated as no one was in our home alone, without him. And Scott even watered our plants while we were out of town! So if you’re looking for a good realtor, then look no further than Scott & Cindy!

Langtree, The Palms, Anaheim Hills

Another favorite sale, mainly because we enjoy helping clients, and this client was so appreciative of our help. We often prepare a seller's home with a budget in mind. We try to utilize and work with what they have, and often it is as simple as rearranging (and removing) furniture, and other simple tasks that can make a significant impact. With much of the highlight of this home being the view, we focused on, and staged the backyard. We provided the outdoor furniture and did some landscaping in the front & back. Again, great home preparation, great photography and marketing = Great Results. Below is from our happy client.....

"To choose a real estate agent is no easy task. However, I chose Scott & Cindy because of Scott’s energy, knowledge of the local area, and service to our community. I initially met Scott when I had a heavy metal mailbox get hit by a car. I posted on NextDoor that I needed help. He quickly replied that he could fix it. He and his brother spent two days and plenty of hours getting the right materials for the job. He didn’t charge me a dime. So, I knew that he was a can-do person from that initial meeting. My neighbor had a similar “save-the-day” experience with him when Scott found her son’s seizure medications in a bag on the street near her home. She praised his kindness and willingness to to reach out to his community.

I appreciated Scott’s communication skills, his knowledge of the neighborhood, and his and Cindy’s ability to hone in on how to make my home look terrific. They staged my backyard. It was spot on! It emphasized the home’s gorgeous views, drawing in the buyers. He also spent quite a few hours helping get the home and landscaping buyer-ready. He knew I was on a budget and helped to select specific projects that he felt would bring the right buyer. Scott knew just the right price to set and has savvy negotiation skills, resulting in a selling price that was what I had hoped for. I appreciate his ability to handle the negotiations. Throughout the entire transaction, I knew I was in the best of hands and that my property would sell for a price that I desired. Scott and Cindy definitely delivered. I highly recommend them."

Paseo Bandera, Anaheim Hills

"We consider Scott "Our Hero." He came referred to us, and we are so glad he did. His advice (and help) on how to best prepare our home was so right on. Nothing major, just simple things. He worked with what we had, suggested a few minor improvements, and what a difference it made from a showing perspective. He even came over and helped clean our pool on picture day. And his photography, and marketing - incredible. We wanted to buy our house all over again (except we were moving to Texas).

We were hoping to retire, yet not sure it was the right time. Scott came over and we immediately knew, if we put our home up for sale, he was going to be our realtor. He shared with us what he thought our home could sell for. We were excited but also did not want to get our hopes up too high. And wow, did Scott deliver. We had many offers, and the way he navigated and negotiated each one was impressive. His review of them with us was so understandable, and his guidance made so much sense. We ended up getting $100,000 over our price! Our home did not appraise, however, Scott was able to negotiate in a way where we did not have to reduce the original offer price. It was truly impressive.

If you are looking to sell your home, we highly recommend Scott and Cindy. You can tell - they truly cared about us and our best interest, and they are very good at what they do."

Ruby Lane, King's Meadow, Anaheim Hills

"Scott & Cindy are the best. At a time when trying to both sell and buy a home concurrently was nearly impossible, Scott & Cindy were able to help us accomplish exactly what we were hoping to accomplish. Scott's strategy was perfect. We placed our home on the market. Scott was able to quickly find our buyer, and negotiated with the buyers to wait while we searched for our replacement home. Scott helped us find our replacement home, and was able to get our contingent offer accepted at a purchase price far below their asking price. Scott truly understands the market. Scott also went above and beyond in helping us remodel our new home with his abundant resources. We are forever grateful, and we became good friends as well. We highly, recommend Scott & Cindy for all of your real estate needs."

Coral Circle, Gramercy Park, Anaheim Hills

This was a gratifying sale in that we significantly over-delivered on the expectations of the sellers. They had a realtor-friend who they almost chose to sell their home. I'd met them years ago while they were walking their new puppy, and they decided to interview Scott & Cindy, prior to choosing their friend.

It is often said to us that we are not your typical realtors. We're told that it is rare for a realtor to provide the level of service that we do in preparing a home for sale. It is often that we roll up our sleeves and do much of the work ourselves. As was the case with this sale. The interior shot (shown) is one of my favorite shots of this property. Prior to this shot, the home was a bit cluttered and the area under the stairs had bookshelves that were full of books. I asked if I could move the bookshelves and books into the garage, and rearrange some of their furniture. They said - please do what ever you believe to be best. We also staged the backyard. As a result - we got some great shots, multiple offers the first weekend, and closed significantly over the asking price, far exceeding expectations.

North View, Anaheim Hills

"We hired Scott & Cindy to sell two of our homes. The first home was our primary home, and the second was one of our rental properties that we sold a couple of years later. Scott & Cindy did such a great job on the first, there was no question that we were going to use them again. And just like with our first sale, boy did they deliver. They ended getting us far more than we ever could have imagined.

If you are looking for a great realtor, we highly recommend Scott & Cindy, our realtors for life."

Patricia Way, Yorba Linda

This was a challenging sale with a lot on the line. Another Happy client......

"We truly believe that we would not be in our current, dream-home if it were not for Scott. What he was able to do for us was amazing. Highly recommend"

- Erin, Patricia Way, YL

Kendra Loop, Orange

This was a favorite sale because of what we are were able to accomplish for the sellers. The first day their home went on the market, they found their dream replacement home - and they had to have it! We strategized, and quickly negotiated a win price with one of our stronger offers. We then were able to negotiate a significantly discounted price (equal to the discount we gave on their home being sold), and we were contingent on the sale of their home. This was extremely difficult to do within our recent market, and we were so happy to be able to pull this off for one of our favorite clients.

Chances are we could do the same for you.

Avenida de la Estrellas, Yorba Linda

"Scott did an amazing job selling my Yorba Linda home. I own several homes and investment-properties, and I've had a lot of experience working with realtors.

First, I was very impressed when Scott came over to work on my lawn! That was not something he had to do, however, (to me) it spoke volumes! 99% of real estate agents would see that as being below their pay grade. Not Scott. It showed that he truly wanted to prepare my home in a way that would make it show better, and maximize the sale price. And it did not stop there. He spent a significant amount of time preparing the entire home, and it definitely made an impact on the results.

Scott is also a great marketeer and negotiator. The way he navigated, negotiated and strategized with me on our multiple offers was impressive.

While selling my Yorba Linda home and working with Scott, I was also selling two other homes up north, working with two other agents. Those sales did not go well. The contrast between Scott and the other real estate agents was highly visible.

At the end of the day, what also stood out to me was I could tell that he truly wants what is in the best interest of his clients. This is something that I have not felt from any of the many real estate agents that I have worked with.

If you are in need of a realtor to sell your home, I'd look no further than Scott & Cindy Real Estate. I Highly recommend."

Ruth Elaine Drive, Rossmoor, Los Alimitos

This was one of our most challenging sales, and also one of our most gratifying. We were the third realtor called in to sell this home (after the previous two failed). It was significantly over-priced and instead of lowering the price, the seller just kept burning through realtors, looking for the realtor who could get it done. The seller also had a brand new 30 year solar lease, adding to the challenge. We believe the previous realtors (based on their marketing and efforts) believed it to be too over-priced and therefor put little effort and expense/investment into the sale. Not us. We were up to the challenge.

We went all-in, suggested a few minor changes to the interior decor, and marketed the home as we would any other. However, even with that, and the price being too high, activity was low and we didn't receive any offers within a reasonable timeframe. We needed to do more.

Rossmoor is a coveted community of 5,000 homes. Most of the homes are two-story, and this one being a single story, we thought we'd do a marketing campaign targeting two-story home-owners who needed to right-size into a single-story, and who wanted to stay within Rossmoor. We put together a marketing piece with that message and mailed it all of the two-story homes. And, it worked. We found the exact buyer we were targeting - a two-story homeowner who lived within Rossmoor, who wanted a single-storied home, and to stay within Rossmoor.

Not many relators would have thought of, and executed this strategy.

La Travesia Drive, Fullerton

This client is a friend of my moms. As with any referral, you want to over deliver for both the client, and for the person who referred you (as they are putting their trust in you doing a great job for their friend). We helped prepare the home for sale (I rolled up my sleeves and staged the backyard myself), followed with great marketing, resulting in another sale that exceeded expectations. Thanks mom.

Sail House, Corona Del Mar

"We hired Scott & Cindy to sell our higher-end home, however, did not listen to their advice on how to prepare and stage it. The home had worn carpet and taste-specific (as they put it) colored accent walls that didn't show well. We thought the new owners would want to pick their own flooring and paint colors, and showing it as it was wouldn't negatively impact the sale. After weeks of no offers, Scott again suggested the changes. We decided to listen, and we are very glad we did. We replaced the carpet, painted the accent walls, as originally suggested, and sold the following weekend. Scott & Cindy truly know what they're doing when it comes to preparing and selling a home. We were able to recoup our staging investment and then some. Thank you Scott & Cindy for a job well done.

Greenwald, North Tustin

"I custom built my home myself, for myself. Life changed and I needed to sell it. In building it for myself, it had numerous custom and high quality build features and very high-end fixtures. I wanted a realtor who could properly represent those things about my custom-built home. Scott & Cindy did not disappoint and were the right realtors for the job. I highly recommend." - Dave, Greenwald, North Tustin

Pacific Coast Hwy, Long Beach

We enjoyed this sale as we were able to over deliver and impress good friends of ours. They were amazed by the amount of time we spent helping to prepare their home, and with our photography, which included drone (we wanted to show how close it was to Cal State Long Beach and the beach). "It's just an inexpensive one bedroom condo, Scott." Yes, it is just an inexpensive one bedroom condo : )
