Curious about what your home might be worth to a buyer?

The Cheapest Marketing Is Usually The Most Expensive.

How can that be?  Just put a sign in the yard, post it to Craigslist, and maybe list it on Zillow.  The buyers will come and we don’t have to pay any commission to anyone.  Collect our money and life is good, right?

Let’s examine that in more detail…  What will cause those potential buyers to come to you?  How long will it take for them to find you?   What happens when they find you?   Are they qualified?   What kind of offer will they make?   Who will be handling all the legal aspects?

The Colorado Contract To Buy/Sell Real Estate consists of at least 5 forms and nearly 50 total pages excluding any amendments.   And there can be civil, state, or federal penalties for making mistakes.

So, what will happen if no buyer shows up for a few months?  What is the cost of lost or delayed opportunity?   And what are your holding costs for those few months?

Assuming that a buyer eventually finds you, are they qualified?  Will they get approved for a loan?   What if they can’t get approved? More time elapses. Will you need to start over again?

Another aspect to think about will be the negotiation of price, resolution of inspection objections, resolution of title, insurance, and appraisal issues.

Our team has expertise in all these areas. This is what we do, full-time, for our clients.

Now Let’s Look At Some Of What We Will Do To Market and Sell Your Home, and Net You More Money While Doing So.

We will also address some of the issues listed above.
