Home staging is the process of preparing any home for sale, by
enhancing its features and removing any distractions so that it appeals to the
greatest number of potential buyers. Statistics back up the benefits of home
staging. Staged homes are selling in 13.9 days versus 31 days for un-staged
homes and at 6.9 to 10% over the listing price!
Another key benefit is that homes professionally staged from
the first day on the market give sellers an advantage during the initial weeks
when interest is high. The longer homes sit on the market, the more they are
“stigmatized” as being faulty in some way as buyers focus on newer listings. At
that point, sellers are advised to generate renewed interest by dropping the
price of their home. Consider staging your home prior to dropping the
price…..the cost to stage is always less than a price
reduction!
Selling your home is one of the most important decisions you
will make in your life. How much is it REALLY worth? How long will it take to
sell? How do you handle buyers making undesirable offers?
As top Colorado Springs area real estate agents with years of
experience and a proven track record, it is our job to guide you through this
complicated process, from beginning to end. We want you to get the maximum value
for your home, within YOUR time frame. Here are just some of the things that we
will do to market and sell your home:
- Buyers want to buy your home for as little as possible!
Through detailed comparisons between your home and recently sold homes, and
other properties currently on the market, together we can determine what your
home is really worth in today's market. In the industry this is called a
Comparative Market Analysis or CMA. We will do this for you, for
free.
- Buyers have their own timelines, which might not be yours! We
make sure they don't waste your time by qualifying them as to their real ability
to afford your home.
- More buyers interested in your home means more money in your
pocket when it is sold. Our extensive marketing of your home assures you of
maximum value. For example, this web site will market your property all across
the web. It will appear on Yahoo Real Estate, Microsoft MSN HomeAdvisor, and
other top national sites. We can place your home on our web site within a few
minutes time!
- When we begin marketing your home, we will immediately notify
all the buyers that we are helping find their ideal home. We'll also notify all
the real estate agents in this area that we work with, who quickly tell their
homebuyers. It is a powerful way to jump-start the sale of your
home!
- You and a member of my team or I will walk through your home
together. We will advise you how to present your property to maximize its
selling price. Some improvements are worth it, and some are not! Be
careful.
- As top Colorado Springs area real estate agents we know that
contracts are complicated, and intimidating. You don't want to go to a closing
with some doubts. You will have the full benefit of our real estate experience
and knowledge for a smooth and successful closing. We recommend that you do not
sign on any dotted lines without asking us first.
- We will make sure you conform to any and all Colorado
statutory disclosure requirements. We will also inform you of any inspections
that you should consider having done ahead of time to smooth the negotiating
process with buyers, and to ensure a successful escrow and closing.
You pay no up front costs for our services! So you can bet that
we will work hard to get your home sold, for as much as this market will
possibly bear. We will also work within your time frame and your needs. For
example, sometimes it can be hard to sell and move out of your current home, and
buy and move into a new home, all at the same time! We can help smooth this
out.
