Information for Sellers

If you have thought about selling your property, and have wondered what your property is worth, or how much you could make from the sale, contact me and I will provide you with this information!  Over the last five to six years (and especially the last couple of years), Sellers have seen more equity than over the previous decade!

I have sold homes across the Denver metro area for years, and have been able to surprise many sellers with more than they anticipated at closing, especially now with increasing values.  During a frenzied market, there will be homes that receive multiple offers, and I can guide you through this process!  

Selling your home in today's market still helps when you have a completely turnkey home.   Clean, repairs made, etc.  Homes that need TLC will reap less with offers than one with little to no repairs needed.  Buyers always inflate the cost of these repairs and reduce their offer to reflect the needed repair.

Once you have decided you would like to list your property, I will walk through your home, make suggestions on repairs, staging, colors and presentation to enable the top attainable price, and in the least amount of time on the market.  The longer a home remains on the market, it tells the buyer they have more room to negotiate, and the flooring takes a beating with buyers touring.    Also, with a quicker offer, it lessens the stress of keeping the home clean, pets out of the home, and also the hassle of people coming and going during nap or dinner time.

I will do a CMA (Comparable Market Analysis) with the comparables to be able to price your home correctly, and to give an estimate of days on market.  You will receive a net sheet to provide an estimate of the proceeds that would be expected at closing.  My marketing techniques, online presence, professional photography, brochures, blogging, showing procedures will all be explained at the listing appointment!

Spring and early summer have been the hottest times of the year, but with the slim inventory, EVERY month is a good month to list.  

Another tip - if you plan to buy another home, get PRE-APPROVED before you list your home, to ensure you can qualify for the home you are hoping to purchase.   In Colorado, after you accept a buyer's offer, you cannot terminate out of the contract because you cannot qualify for a home.  

I get many calls with these questions -

~ What is the true value of my home?

~ What improvements should I make to improve the value of my home?

~ What is curb appeal?

~ Do I need a professional appraisal or home inspection done prior to listing?

I can answer all these questions - just give me a call!   Joan Cox - 720-231-6373
