Deciding to Sell Your Home in the Denver metro area - What every Denver homeowner should know

Deciding to Sell Your House in the Denver Metro Area
What every Seller should know:

If there's only ONE thing you take away from this section of my website, let it be this. Please resist the temptation of conveniently forgetting to disclose everything you know about the home. If you think nobody will ever know or find out - You're Making a Big Mistake! Had a previous water leak that ruined the hardwood floors but has since been repaired? Disclose it. Had electrical, plumbing, roofing, additions or other major work done without a permit? Disclose it. Do you have a survey that shows an encroachment or trespass on a neighboring property? Disclose it. Has the house been tested for radon, lead or slow draining sewer lines that showed a less-than-desirable result? Disclose, disclose, disclose.
Housing markets are cyclical. When the market is rocking (like it was in 2018-202) sellers loved seeing prices escalate sharply, but they forget that the replacement homes were also more appreciating. And when the market slows down like it did in the summer of 2022 and interest rates spiked (especially by January 2024), prices started cooling and in some cases, needed to be drastically reduced. So while you may not experience multiple offer scenarios well over list price with waived contingencies and appraisal gaps, you will benefit from this on the repurchasing side. Let's talk.
Don't list with a real estate agent just because they charge the least. I pledge to offer your the "best value". If I don't meet or exceed your expectations, I will be happy to discuss a fee reduction.
Don't overprice your house.
Don't let your property sit too long on the market before making a significant change in price.
Don't be surprised if the first offer you receive is the best offer.
Don't look only at the price the buyer offers. Analyze the total package including buyer qualifications, contingencies, closing dates, etc.
Don't forget that buyers will shop around for the best buy. You are in competition with other sellers for your buyer's attention.
Don't make it difficult for agents and buyers to see your home. Buyers want to look at their convenience.
Don't overlook the value of merchandising your home - make it look its best.
Don't forget that you control the pricing of your home, how it looks and the overall marketing plan. But it is the buyer who controls value. If buyers won't pay your price, the house remains yours.
Be sure to follow monthly market statistics and ask questions about how the changing market impacts your ability to buy or sell.

As a seller, you deserve more than just a sign in the front yard. Let's discuss a personalized and aggressive marketing plan that will fetch top-dollar on the sale of your home as well as how you can save thousands of dollars on the sale and purchase of your next home.
