Getting Started

Getting Started - Selling Your Home

Ultimately, what a home means to someone selling is a highly personal and individualized experience. It's shaped by a combination of practical, emotional, and financial factors that reflect the unique circumstances and goals of the homeowner. Your home may be an investment, or perhaps you need to relocate from where you grew up. Perhaps you're selling to upgrade or downsize, or it's an aspect of your retirement planning. Whatever the circumstances, there comes a time in many of our lives when selling our Colorado home is necessary. 

For most Colorado residents, their home is the largest financial asset they have. Not to mention, it often holds a certain amount of sentimentality, from pleasant memories to the hard work you put into remodeling. Because of this, selling a house in Colorado is not a simple process. It’s ok to be hyper-cautious about making sure it’s done right, and in a way that benefits you and your family to the greatest extent possible.

Having a Professional on Your Side Makes All the Difference

Now more than ever, you need an expert on your side who’s going to guide you toward your dreams and not let anything slip through the cracks. Buying or selling a home is not something you should DIY (Do It Yourself)! Here are just some of the reasons you need a real estate professional in your corner:

There Are Quite a Few Steps to Navigate in the Process

There are over 230 possible steps that need to take place during every successful real estate transaction. Don’t you want someone who has been there before, someone who knows what these actions are, to ensure you have a positive buying and selling process?

You Need a Skilled Negotiator

In today’s market, hiring a talented negotiator could save you thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of dollars. Each step of the way –from the buyer submitting an original offer, to the possible renegotiation of that offer after a home inspection, to the potential cancelation of the deal based on a troubled appraisal –you need someone who can keep the deal together until it closes.

You Need to Know What the Home You’re Buying or Selling is Worth in Today’s Market

There’s so much information in the news and on the Internet about home sales, prices, and mortgage rates; how do you know what’s going on in your local area? Who do you turn to in order to competitively and correctly price your home at the beginning of the selling process? How do you know what to offer on your dream home without paying too much or offending the seller with a lowball offer?

Dave Ramsey, known as the financial guru, advises: “When getting help with money, whether it’s insurance, real estate or investments, you should always look for someone with the heart of a teacher, not the heart of a salesman.”

Hiring a real estate professional who has a finger on the pulse of the market and is eager to help you learn along the way will make your experience an informed and educated one. You need someone who’s going to tell you the truth, not just what they think you want to hear.
