We’re so grateful when our clients share their kind words with us. We love what we do and we love taking great care of our clients. Thank you Andrea for your testimonial!
I am giving a big hearty recommendation to The Caton Team for their assistance in selling our family home. We immediately felt comfortable with their blend of experience and enthusiasm. I personally was impressed with their high ethical standard and “full disclosure” way of conducting business for both seller and buyer. Their experience navigating all the legal paperwork was outstanding too. When a once in a lifetime tropical storm threw some obstacles in our path, The Caton Team’s attitude of “its not an obstacle, its a redirection” may have actually led our buyer to us in the delayed timing. Thank you once again Susan and Sabrina for all your help. – A.H.

When my family’s long-time friends called to sell their family home, it was an honor for me to be of service. This is why I got into Real Estate—to be a trusted resource when the time comes to sell one of the largest investments in a person’s life—their home.
They truly poured their trust into me and I don’t take that lightly. We had a lifetime of memories to remove, and I was grateful our clients were open to sprucing up the home with thoughtful and cost-conscious updates. The Caton Team did it all. Emptied the home, monitored updates and progress, kept an eye on the budget, and went light fixture shopping. You name it – we covered it.
Ultimately, Parrot Drive shined like it always did in our hearts but sparkled in the buyers’ eyes. We received multiple offers and sold well over list – and my clients were happy and proud of their “little” Sabrina. It meant so much to me to represent them and facilitate a spectacular sale. Thank you for your trust Mike and Peter – that meant the world to me.
Read what Mike had to say about his experience working with The Caton Team:
“I primarily worked with Sabrina but when she was on vacation, I also had the pleasure of talking with Susan. They were excellent from start to finish. In addition to the 5 star ratings for market expertise (regularly checking comps to adjust as needed), responsiveness (++), negotiation skills (handling 6 competing offers), and professionalism (all the way), Sabrina was fabulous at helping us the seller prepare the house. While initially we thought it was almost “market ready” as we made repairs we realized there was something of a domino effect going on and that more repairs and improvements would definitely help the sale. She was like a fine project manager handling many small details while all the while keeping focused on the big picture. I really am very grateful indeed and highly recommend!”

Today’s housing market is different than it was just a few months ago. And if you’re thinking about selling your house, that may leave you wondering what you need to do differently as a result. The answer is simple. Taking the time upfront to prep your house appropriately and create a solid plan can help bring in the greatest return on your investment.
Here are a few simple tips to make sure you maximize the sale of your house this fall.
1. Price It Right
One of the first things buyers will notice is the price of your house. That’s because the price sends a message to home shoppers. Pricing your house too high to begin with could put you at a disadvantage by discouraging buyers from making an offer. On the flip side, pricing your house too low may make buyers worry there’s some underlying issue or something wrong with the home.
Your goal in pricing your house is to gain the attention of prospective buyers and get them to make an offer. And with price growth and buyer demand moderating, as well as a greater supply of homes available for sale, pricing your home appropriately for where the market is today has become more important than ever before.
But how do you know that perfect number? Pricing your house isn’t a guessing game. It takes skill and expertise. Work with a trusted real estate advisor to determine the current market value for your home.
2. Keep It Clean
It may sound simple but keeping your house clean is another key to making sure it gets the attention it deserves. As realtor.com says in the Home Selling Checklist:
“When selling your home, it’s important to keep everything tidy for buyers, and you never know when a buyer is going to want to schedule a last-minute tour.”
Before each buyer visits, assess your space and determine what needs your attention. Wash the dishes, make the beds, and put away any clutter. Doing these simple things can reduce potential distractions for buyers.
For more tips, check out this checklist for preparing your house for sale. Ultimately an agent is your best resource for tailored advice, but this list can help get you started.
3. Help Buyers Feel at Home
Finally, it’s important for buyers to see all the possible ways they can make your house their next home. An easy first step to create this blank canvas is removing personal items, like pictures, awards, and sentimental belongings. It’s also a good idea to remove any excess furniture to help the rooms feel bigger and make sure there’s ample space for touring buyers to stand and look at the layout.
If you’re unsure what should be packed away and what can stay, consult your trusted real estate advisor. Spending the time on this step can pay off in the long run. As a recent article from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) explains:
“Staging is the art of preparing a home to appeal to the greatest number of potential buyers in your market. The right arrangements can move you into a higher price-point and help buyers fall in love the moment they walk through the door.”
Bottom Line
Selling a house requires prep work and expertise. If you’re looking to sell your house this season, lean on a trusted real estate professional for advice on how to get it ready to list, how to help it stand out in today’s shifting market, and more.

Estampas Peruanas Restaurant – In Redwood City
Friends took us to Estampas for the first time and I was floored by all the delicious food.I’ve returned several times to try new dishes.The soup, the meat, the plantains – each dish is unique and delicious.The staff is friendly and kind as well – a must stop on the peninsula.Some of my and my friends favorite dishes are:The Ceviche de Pescado or Mixto, pictured was my last entree Bistek a lo Pobre – WOW!I loved it!The first time I went there I had the Saltado de Pollo and I was hooked – food served with french fries incorporated into the meal made my day – maybe life at high altitudes has it perks.Spare the hike and visit Estampas at Sea Level and enjoy Peruvian cuisine in your own back yard.
