How we take a home to market
Five stages, the same on every listing. You see each one before it starts, and you never have to make the calls yourself.
-
Prep
Deep cleaning, junk removal, small repairs and pre-inspections, scheduled around you. Depending on your listing package, we pay for these.
-
Pro media
Professional photos of every room and the yard, a twilight cover shot, a video tour and a drone shot of the lot.
-
YouTube ad
Your video tour runs as a targeted YouTube ad to people across the Central Valley.
-
Launch week
Seven days of ads, the MLS and Zillow, brochures, neighborhood postcards and an open house.
-
Offers to closing
We present every offer, negotiate price and terms, and manage inspections, appraisal and escrow to closing day.
No phone photos, ever
These are from our own listings. Every home we list gets the same shoot: interiors, the yard, a twilight cover and the drone.

If your situation is less simple
An inherited home or a trust sale
Chris Patterson is a C.A.R. Certified Probate & Trust Specialist. That training covers the extra steps these sales involve, from court confirmation to working with trustees.
Talk with ChrisList it as-is
If the home needs more work than you want to take on, we can list it as it stands and price it for its condition. We'll walk you through what that does to price and timing.
Call 559-213-7734A cash offer, no repairs
Equity Home Solutions, the home-buying company Baylen owns, makes cash offers on homes that need work. We'll put that offer next to what the home could list for, so you can compare.
Ask about a cash offerBaylen Trafton owns Equity Home Solutions and is a licensed California real estate agent (DRE #02026482). If Equity Home Solutions buys your home, Baylen is the buyer, not your agent, and that is disclosed to you in writing before you sign anything. You're never obligated to take a cash offer.
