Pre-Listing, Renovation and Design Services
Tracy McLaughlin is nationally recognized in the real estate industry for maximizing a home's sales price with the pre-listing efforts that she implements for her clients. These improvements, when needed, include a comprehensive plan and written bids for design, construction, landscape improvements and staging (if necessary). Tracy has personally developed over 40 high-end homes in the United States for her own portfolio, and has 20 plus years of hands-on experience putting her own money at risk. Tracy has helped over 400 sellers in Marin County maximize their resale value over the course of her career with her unrivaled knowledge and hands on experience in design and development. For each dollar spent, there is a documented high return on those improvements. That is the subject of Tracy’s book, Real Estate Rescue, How America Leaves Billions Behind in Residential Real Estate and How to Maximize Your Home's Value (Book page and Amazon).
