When you’re selling your first home — especially from out of state — you need a team you can trust completely. For one Crest couple, that trust turned into a life-changing success story thanks to Zachary and Rochelle Svelling of The Svelling Group by Fathom Realty.

“Great opening presentation, gave good ideas on how to prep for selling, chose the perfect strategy to get others looking, patient with seniors, multi-media savvy — all in all, a great experience for first-time sellers.”

With their expert guidance, innovative marketing, and calm professionalism, Zachary and Rochelle delivered an incredible result: 14 offers during the first weekend on the market and a final sale price $101,000 over asking.

For sellers who had already moved out of state, the results — and the peace of mind — couldn’t have been better.

Preparing First-Time Sellers for Success

Selling your home for the first time can feel overwhelming, especially when you’ve already relocated. There are dozens of decisions to make — from staging and pricing to marketing and negotiation. But with The Svelling Group, the process is structured, clear, and tailored to each client’s needs.

“Great opening presentation, gave good ideas on how to prep for selling.”

Zachary and Rochelle began by walking their clients through a detailed listing plan — showing them exactly how to prepare the home for market, what updates would make the biggest impact, and how to present the property to attract top-tier buyers.

Their white-glove concierge service ensured every detail was handled, from coordinating vendors to overseeing photography and staging. Even from out of state, the sellers felt completely supported and informed.

The Perfect Pricing and Marketing Strategy

In real estate, strategy matters. And in this case, The Svelling Group’s understanding of the Crest housing market was the key to success.

“Chose the perfect strategy to get others looking.”

Zachary and Rochelle analyzed comparable sales, studied buyer behavior, and positioned the home perfectly to generate maximum attention. Their pricing approach — combined with cutting-edge marketing — created instant excitement and urgency.

Within hours of going live, the listing was everywhere buyers were looking:

• Professional photography highlighting the home’s best features

• Drone and lifestyle video tours capturing the property and surroundings

• Online exposure through MLS, Zillow, Realtor.com, and Google

• Targeted digital campaigns across social media and email

• A beautifully designed print and mailer strategy to reach local buyers

By the end of the first weekend, 14 offers had poured in — proof that smart marketing and expert presentation make all the difference.

Record-Breaking Results

The numbers tell the story best. After receiving multiple offers, Zachary and Rochelle negotiated fiercely on behalf of their clients — securing a final sale price $101,000 over asking.

Their calm expertise and data-backed approach helped the sellers choose not just the highest offer, but the one most likely to close smoothly.

That’s what true professional representation looks like — not just attracting offers, but managing them strategically to deliver exceptional results.

“All in all, a great experience for first-time sellers.”

For these sellers, who had already moved out of state, The Svelling Group’s professionalism and communication made all the difference. Every update, document, and decision was handled seamlessly, allowing them to focus on their new life while Zachary and Rochelle handled the sale from start to finish.

Compassionate, Patient, and Professional

In addition to their marketing expertise, what truly stood out to this family was Zachary and Rochelle’s kindness and patience.

“Patient with seniors, multi-media savvy.”

They took time to explain each step clearly, walking their clients through everything from the listing agreement to closing paperwork. Their patience and care ensured that even as first-time sellers, the family felt confident and supported throughout the process.

That empathy — combined with their modern marketing — is what makes The Svelling Group one of the most respected real estate teams serving Crest, Jamul, Rancho San Diego, and East County San Diego.
