Proper Real Estate

Jul 2024

I moved to San Rafael Mobile Home Park April 2014. As I settled in, and after the initial efforts to upgrade my home, I would randomly stop at open houses for further decorating ideas and to meet the agent representing the seller. My purpose; to see who I might choose to represent me, if and when I decided to move. I interviewed six (6) agents over the ten years I lived at San Rafael. Then I met John Rudy, that was a game changing moment. What instantly differentiated John from the other sellers I met, was the essence of who he was. My initial thought; here is a caring man who operates from his heart, not his head. At the time I told him that there were more upgrades to be done. I asked him once complete I would appreciate his stopping by for his expert perspective on the true value of my home. After that meeting, I told John when the time came, he would be my choice to represent me. 2024 has been a year that brought several life changing events that led to my deciding to move. As promised, I called John. He visited again, did a walk through and to review the list of improvements made to the home. He said he would compare my home to others for sale in San Rafael. He cautioned me that sale price needs to be near perfect; not too high, not too low. Based on his research John determined that the listing price he arrived at would suffice. The house was listed on (date), appeared on Multiple Listing (date). At 10:00 that morning John called me to tell me that a "cash buyer" wanted to see my house late that same afternoon. The following morning (the first day house was on the market), the buyer submitted a full cash offer that was $20,000 higher than list price and wanted to close within 30 days. Throughout the entire process, John asked for my input, regularly updated me on everything that was going on. John's excellent understanding of the market, great communication skills, focus and passion exceeded expectation and secured a sale price higher than what I was hoping to receive. I strongly endorse John Rudy to sell your home. He will deliver, and he can help you with getting your property ready to sell, so you too can generate the most money possible when you sell your home also. John, like the great Tom Brady, is the one to get it done. Choose John, and like me, you'll be glad you did. Barry Bagus

Without John Rudy's guidance, we wouldn't have gotten our dream home. His strategic approach and support helped us craft a winning bid that made us stand out to the sellers. They say luck plays a significant role in finding the perfect home, but with John by our side, luck seemed to be on our side from the start.

I got in touch with four real estate agents. John was the only one who showed up on time and had a solid prospectus. His cheerful, helpful attitude throughout the entire process made what could have been a stressful process a breeze. John got the property to sell for full price, with no repairs, while most of units are selling below original list price and require numerous repairs or considerable money to cover identified repairs! He also got the maximum price for the type of unit I lived in. He made sure that I understood all the timelines and stayed in constant communication from start to finish. Besides always showing up on time, one of the most important pieces for me is that John answers his phone and gets back in a timely fashion with answers to any question that are asked. If you are looking for as stress-free a sale/buy as possible go with John you won't be disappointed!
