Choosing the Right Agent MATTERS
Why Choose Us?
Home Preparation
One of the most important components to maximizing the sales value of a home is the home preparation strategy. The Cilic Group has a wealth of experience in adding value to a home prior to sale, with a keen eye for design and a curated list of vendors to assist in the process.
According to the National Association of Realtors, every $100 invested in staging has a potential return of $400. Furthermore, a staged home sells on average for 17 percent higher than one that is not staged. Finally, a staged home sells on average 87% faster than those that are not staged. While those numbers are impressive, The Cilic Group strategy often goes well beyond staging and the results are phenomenal.
The following case studies demonstrate our track record of success.

Case Study #1
Mountain View

Before |
After |
We prepared this property for sale by having the property painted inside and out, new sod and sprinklers, touch up staining on the floors and cabinets and full staging. A Realtor neighbor told us that she thought our asking price of $1,599,000 was too high, but we were able to drive up the price an additional $111,000 and achieve our client’s goal of purchasing a replacement property and making only one move directly to their new home.

Case Study #2
Oakwood Avenue
Before |
After |
The Cilic Group sold 8260 Oakwood Avenue with remarkable results.
We helped guide the Seller through the home preparation process, providing advice from start to finish and recommending vendors to execute our strategy. This home required fresh paint, updated landscaping, a small privacy fence, decluttering and partial staging.
The photos below demonstrate the transformation of the home through before and after shots. In a short period of time, it went from lived-in to show-ready.
The cost of prepping the home was dwarfed by the reward to the Seller. Wait until you see the case study results.

Case Study #3
5th Street
Before |
After |
The Cilic Group sold 846 5th Street #106 for a record breaking price. The Seller's goal was to maximize the sales price of the property and to do so quickly. They found a property they wanted to buy and that sale was contingent upon the sale of this 5th Street property. They had previously listed the property with another agent without getting the desired result, so they were determined this time around. The Sellers were willing to do whatever it took and followed our advice to a T. Actually, the property did not require much, but the small changes added up to get big results. We recommended a fresh coat of paint both in the unit and in the common area hallway; de-cluttering was a big improvement - it was addition by subtraction.
We encouraged a styling rather than a staging, primarily using existing furniture, with the help of our recommended designer, items were repositioned to give it a fresh look. The Sellers did not rent any furniture, rather, they purchased some inexpensive items to mix with their existing pieces. Our professional photography helped showcase the changes. The outcome of this case study was staggering.

Case Study #4
Le Conte Ave
Before |
After |
The example above is the property at 10737 Le Conte Avenue10737 that was sold by the Cilic Group. We were hired by the Seller to help guide them through the preparation and sale of their home. This home was originally thought of by the Sellers as being a "tear-down," however, after consulting with us about the best strategy to sell their home, the owners followed our guidance and hired a estate sale company to help sell furniture, a stager to fill the home with light and bright pieces, a painter and a landscaper to re-face the front of the home. Once we put the property on the market, it was received very well and we received over 15 offers and the home sold for $600k over our asking price.
