The Denver Metro area and surrounding suburbs, represent one of the most prolific environments for Real Estate sales in the country. Even with such a competitive advantage, a seller still needs to have a solid plan. Attention to timing, motivation, and approach, will ensure that you maximize your investment and meet your goals. Here are a few things to consider if you are preparing to sell your home:

• Set a Plan - Perfect timing and a clear understanding of your motivation are tools to help you solidify your plan. Knowing your objectives and expectations will help you and your Dream Team be successful!

• Find your people - Hire experienced professionals! This will alleviate a ton of stress and help you avoid needless missteps. Statistics show that Sellers who use a Realtor typically sell their home quicker and at a higher price. Your Agent will expose your home to a broad variety of perspective buyers within their sphere of contacts and beyond. You and your Agent will enter into a binding agreement that outlines responsibilities! Completing this process so that you, the client, are fully satisfied with your experience, should be your Agent’s top priority.   

• Assessing your home’s value - It is time to let all the wonderful aspects of your home shine! Share with your Agent what you love about your home and where you think the value lies. Your Agent will compose a comparative Market Analysis and review your home’s current market value with you. Square footage, location, lot size, finish level, parking, and competition on the market, are some of the areas that go into a value assessment.

• Preparing your home - It is time to showcase your home! Consider organizing and decluttering. Go to the front of your home, check the curb appeal, and make any necessary updates. This is where an experienced Agent will be a great resource. Some updates will add value and others, not so much. When the time is right, your Agent will drop their yard sign, a lock box, and get you prepared to show your home to potential buyers.

• YOU RECEIVED AN OFFER!! - Or maybe you have received multiple offers! Either way, your Agent will walk you through the details of the offer(s). Ultimately it is your prerogative to choose which offer best suits your needs. Once you have decided and are within the proper acceptance timeline you will be Under contract!! Your Agent will coordinate these dates and deadline in the contract to ensure a successful closing.

• Get Ready for the MOVE - Your Agent will be advocating for you throughout the entire transaction. They will represent your best interests when it comes to dates, times, and any other area to make the transition as smooth as possible.  In turn, you should get ready for your future!

• Closing Day - Your Agent and the Title Company will assist you with the last step to selling your home. They will ensure that the proper documents are signed, notarized, and recorded. Be prepared with your ID and bank information so the Title Company can send your proceeds. Congrats! Your home is SOLD and it is time to enter your future!
