These homeowners were out of state when they decided to sell their home during the height of the COVID pandemic. Knowing Liz for many years, they trusted our team to handle all aspects of the sale in their absence, while leveraging Zoom, Docusign, and Facetime to stay in constant communication. Unable to bring in a stager due to COVID, the team rolled up their sleeves and staged the home using the homeowner’s belongings, including packing up some of their personal items and moving furniture. Our hands-on approach paid off for the homeowners, receiving over 20 offers. “Liz and the Venema Homes Real Estate Team are the BEST in the business. We have bought and sold four homes in Pleasanton and our experience with this team has been the best by far. We have had the pleasure of knowing Liz for many many years. She has a dedication to providing the best possible experience for her clients and we are so grateful to call her both friend and stellar professional.”

This home was practically perfect. The homeowners had made all the right design choices and upgrades to poise themselves for a successful sale. Our marketing and open house events generated multiple offers! There is a strategy to handling this many offers to ensure that our sellers receive the best possible price AND the most favorable terms. We delivered that to them – and at $1121 per square foot, this home sale set records in the Vintage Hills neighborhood!

Originally, this husband and wife were not on the same page about selling their family home. They mutually agreed to trust in the process and to be guided by our team and our in-house general contractor. The pre-sale improvements our contractor implemented took this home to the next level-and the offers proved that! “We recently sold our home of 20 years and selected Venema Homes. Both Liz and Alexis were easy to work with and had a great understanding of the market. One of the key benefits of working with Venema Homes is that they have a complete team that actively supports every step of the process from preparation to close. They outlined a plan which we followed closely, trusting their judgement. The team was on top of every element and when challenges arose, they were resolved quickly and painlessly. The result was great – 4 offers over asking price in 4 days and closure within a month. We had a great experience and would highly recommend Venema Homes.

The closing sales price of this home is a record high in the Prima commmunity within the gated Ruby Hill neighborhood. This home was built before Highway 84 was further developed and there was concern about how proximity to this commuter route might impact the sale. In short, it didn’t! Our marketing attracted over 200 guests to the open house events and generated 11 offers. Sold at $935 per square foot, this sale was a huge win for our sellers.

"We interviewed five agents including the Venema Homes Team. Liz was on a family vacation at the time, but she sent Michelle and joined via zoom. I was impressed about the fact that she took the time to set aside her vacation. It was very clear to us from the onset that she was informed, new the area, and had a strong team. She immediately alleviated the stressors that came with selling the house. She organized the stager and the general contractor. I’ve sold a couple homes before, and it had never been so seamless. The men that we interviewed were dismissive to me. They seemed out of touch. The first man who came to the house came without a mask and he refused to go to his car to get his mask. He talked only to my husband as if he was the only one who making the decision. I was impressed by a strong team of women. There isn’t a day that goes by that my husband and I don’t look at each other and say thank god we picked Liz. She really took the stress out of listing our home. The stager de-personalized our home and was very smart. We got top dollar for our home because of Liz. I don’t think we would have done as well with any of the other agents we interviewed. We were very happy with the decision we made. We’ve already recommended her to many people. I would absolutely recommend Liz to everyone, especially to women-100% without a doubt."
