Before You List

The strongest sale begins before your home ever reaches the market.

Selling successfully requires more than photography and a sign in the yard. It begins with understanding your goals, reviewing the numbers, preparing the property, studying buyer behavior and creating a launch that gives your home the strongest possible position.

Joshua develops a customized selling plan designed around the property, the market and what matters most to you.

A Plan for Every Stage

The 30/60/90 Seller Method

The goal is not to make your sale take 90 days. The purpose of this roadmap is to ensure there is a clear and deliberate strategy at every stage—before launch, while on the market and through the final negotiation.

Stage One

First 30 Days

Value, Prepare & Position

  • Complete a property and neighborhood review
  • Discuss your goals, timing and next move
  • Prepare a comparative market analysis
  • Review estimated proceeds with a preliminary net sheet
  • Identify repairs or improvements worth considering
  • Develop the pricing and positioning strategy
  • Coordinate photography, video, staging and marketing
  • Build the launch calendar

We prepare the home and the strategy before asking the market to respond.

Stage Two

Days 31–60

Launch, Market & Create Demand

  • Introduce the property through a coordinated launch
  • Publish across the MLS and major real estate platforms
  • Create a custom property landing page
  • Promote through social media and digital advertising
  • Contact active buyers and local real estate agents
  • Coordinate private showings and open houses when appropriate
  • Track showing activity, online engagement and buyer feedback
  • Provide consistent seller updates

The objective is to create visibility, urgency and meaningful buyer activity.

Stage Three

Days 61–90

Optimize, Negotiate & Execute

  • Review real-time market feedback
  • Measure the property against new competition and sales
  • Refine pricing or presentation when necessary
  • Compare offers based on price, terms, risk and estimated net
  • Negotiate from the strongest available position
  • Coordinate disclosures, inspections, appraisal and escrow
  • Keep the transaction moving toward a successful closing

Every decision is made with your goals and final net in mind.

Meet the Strategist

The strategy behind your sale.

Joshua Heraldez doesn’t simply place homes on the market. He builds a strategy around them.

As a Southern California real estate professional with First Team Real Estate and a background in branding and design, Joshua brings together two essential sides of a successful home sale: understanding the numbers and knowing how to capture attention.

Every property is treated as its own campaign. From pricing and preparation to photography, digital marketing, buyer outreach and negotiation, Joshua develops a plan designed around the home, the current market and the seller’s goals.

His approach is direct, hands-on and highly personal. Sellers receive honest guidance, consistent communication and a clear understanding of what is happening throughout the process. When the market shifts, the strategy shifts with it—without losing sight of the seller’s timeline, negotiating position or final net.

Joshua’s role goes far beyond marketing the property. He helps homeowners evaluate their options, prepare for what comes next and make confident decisions from the first conversation through closing.

“Your home is more than another listing. My responsibility is to understand your goals, position the property with purpose and protect your interests through every decision.”

What matters most to you?

Questions homeowners often ask before selling.

Yes. The initial property review and seller consultation are complimentary and do not create an obligation to list.

Not necessarily. Joshua will help identify which improvements may strengthen the sale and which expenses may not provide a meaningful return.

That depends on your equity, financing, timing and comfort level. Joshua can help you compare the available options and coordinate a plan with your lender.

Timing depends on price, location, condition, competition and buyer demand. The 30/60/90 method provides a clear strategy for evaluating and responding to the market throughout the process.

Joshua works with homeowners throughout Orange County, Los Angeles County and the Inland Empire.
