Selling your home starts with an honest price

Honest pricing from day one, a home prepared to show well, and steady communication until it closes.

What selling your home means in today's suburbs

Selling your home in the Sacramento suburbs means competing with more than the house down the street. In much of the region, your buyers are also touring new construction, where builders can offer rate buydowns and closing-cost credits. A resale home sells well when it is priced from the real market, prepared to show at its best, and positioned on what new homes cannot offer, such as larger lots, mature trees and lower Mello-Roos.

Most of our sellers are also buying their next home, here or somewhere else, so the sale is only half the plan.

How Living In Northern California sells homes

Living In Northern California is a Realty of America team led by Rose and Steven Gonzales. Our approach starts with honest pricing from day one. One of our listings sold in 19 days at $865,000 after another agent's higher asking price had sat unsold for two months. The difference was a price built on the market as it actually was.

Steven makes preparation easy. He handles repairs, landscaping and staging preparation, so you do not have to manage a list of vendors while you plan a move. Because we know the builders, we also know exactly how your home compares to the new construction nearby.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you decide on a listing price?

We start from recent comparable sales, then adjust for condition, lot, upgrades and the competition from active listings and nearby new construction. The goal is a price buyers respond to in the first weeks.

Do I need to make repairs before listing?

Not always. We walk the home with you and recommend only what is likely to pay off. When work makes sense, our team can coordinate repairs, landscaping and staging preparation.

Can I sell my home and buy another at the same time?

Yes. Most of our sellers are also buying. We plan both as one timeline and discuss options such as contingencies and rent-back periods with you and your lender.

How are listing agents paid?

Compensation is always set by written agreement with you before we list. We explain it clearly at the start, along with every other cost of selling.
