Preparing your home for sale can feel like a big task, but with Sydney Ereno's guidance, it’s a smooth and strategic process.
It all starts with an agent walkthrough to identify any changes that could enhance your home’s appeal. A professional inspection helps ensure everything is in order, and if any repairs are needed, Sydney can recommend trusted contractors. A title search will also be conducted to check for any potential issues.
Additional steps to consider:
-
Decluttering and organizing
-
Cleaning and handling minor repairs

Staging to highlight your home’s best features
-
Setting up a home protection plan

Sydney was first introduced me as someone who "takes customer service to a whole new level" and I can personally attest to this. Sydney worked with us on 2 simultaneous transactions, both of which went off without a hitch. She is a master strategist, a stickler for details and acted as an advocate for us. She has a high degree of integrity and her communication and availability is absolutely unparalleled. She is conscientious and competitive, and we felt very secure in having her as our agent. There were zero errors. Over the past 6 months, we watched as Sydney successfully sold three Willow Glen Properties in less than one week. She is an up-and coming expert in the Willow Glen neighborhood and we highly recommend her to anyone in need of a listing agent, as well as to potential buyers since she is aware of pocket listings and inventory that may not be available to the general public. Sydney also helped us with excellent referrals (staging companies, locksmiths, painters, etc.) and made our move seamless so that we could focus on more important matters. Thank you Sydney, we will gladly refer you not just to our friends, but to our clients who may be dividing property and selling residential properties in Santa Clara.

Sydney is great! She's an unassuming barracuda who helped us sell our townhouse for top dollar, devising a strategy to sell high and get us in to a great Cambrian house without overpaying during a seller's market. While I was stressing out, Syd was calm as a cucumber. She was great to work with and if we ever buy or sell again, we'll be giving her a call!

Best possible experience! My home sold in 7 days, receiving 10 offers that were all above the asking price. Sydney worked tirelessly to realize this successful outcome.
I interviewed eight agents and brokers from five firms before selecting Sydney to sell my home. She is remarkable! We first met at my neighbor's open house one year before I was ready to sell mine. From that meeting, I could see that she would be a fantastic representative for my home. Even so, I chose to thoroughly research my options. That experience made me even more certain that Sydney's approach, philosophy, knowledge and personality are exceptional.
Sydney was able to help advise me in ways to improve my house for optimal appeal. Her list of contacts and resources were incredible. Every professional that I worked with through Sydney's referral was not only impeccable, but budget-conscious. We developed an aggressive schedule to make the home sparkle in like-new condition. I was so pleased by the results!
You could not ask for a better agent. Sydney is the whole package: conscientious, thorough, approachable, attentive, savvy, creative, hard-working and brilliant. I am so glad I was able to work with her to sell my home. I recommend her very highly!

Sydney was recommended by neighbors who had met her at an open house located directly behind our mother's home. Mother had recently passed away and my sister and I wanted to sell her house that was located in Willow Glen. Both being from out of town with busy lives my sister and I needed a Realtor willing to handle all facets of the transaction. After interviewing Sydney and three other Realtors we were convinced that the neighbors were right and Sydney was the one for the job.
Throughout the process we were impressed with Sydney's energetic style, ethical standards, and knowledge of the current market conditions. She is well established in the community and has an extensive selection of business contacts that contributed resources to the process.
We appreciated that she was always readily available to answer phone calls and kept us abreast of new developments. She anticipated potential problems and took the necessary steps to ensure a positive outcome.
We could not have been more pleased with the final sales price and terms that she negotiated.
As a Realtor, Sydney will not disappoint.

I would like to advise any seller or buyer that SYDNEY ERENO is by far the BEST real
estate agent I have ever dealt with in my 50 years... We sold our house in Willow Glen
and was stressful free, the quality of service was beyond anyone I had dealt with and
she was there at all times to answer any questions or matters that we encountered. She handled everything with the utmost professional and personable relationship that was much appreciated.
