Why use the "neighborhood expert" to sell your house in Highlands Ranch?

When choosing a real estate professional to list and sell your house in the Highlands Ranch, Colorado market, it is important to consider their area of expertise and experience. For better or worse - information, because of the internet, is much more readily available. When you look at some of the websites that claim to be able to “price your home” be careful! The information is out there, but unless you know how to interpret it and apply it correctly, it can be misleading, if not dangerous. Often that information is incomplete (as in, not taking in to account upgrades, finished basements, condition of home, size of lot, location, etc.). There is a reason that “neighborhood experts” are just that – expert in pricing and selling homes in a certain location because they know the “ins and outs” of the market in that particular neighborhood. Usually that professional’s track record beats out all of the others because they are experts! When you are ready to sell your house in Highlands Ranch, contact Ed and Lynda Vanderpool, Premier Town and Country.

Why use a professional to sell your Colorado house?

The largest percentage of homes are still sold via the professional network of Real Estate professionals through the MLS system. This system provides:

1. Peace of mind knowing that the buyers looking at your house are accompanied by a licensed professional when touring your home.

2. Security of a lock box for the Realtors to gain access to your house. Only the licensed professionals are given the combination.

3. The showings are set through our office and licenses verified through the Colorado Real Estate Commission.

4. Safety—you are not present showing strangers alone in your house.

5. Buyers are pre-qualified by their real estate professional.

Should I use my friend to sell my house in Denver?

 “My friend has their license”

Are you being pressured to sell through a friend because they “have a real estate license”? Some points to consider:

In this challenging market remember that, over the course of the complicated and detailed process of selling your house, you will want to be represented by a professional who can be objective and can promote your property appropriately to prospective buyers.

Your real estate representative is not your friend or social competitor, but your business representative.

It can be detrimental to a personal relationship to “mix business with pleasure”

Selling a home in metro Denver with pets

Buying or selling a home in metro Denver with pets can be stressful for the entire family. It may be equally stressful for your pets.

Tips for a Garage Sale

If you are selling your home, you may want to start long before the sign goes up in the yard.
A garage sale is a great way to de-clutter. Here are a few tips:

1. Check with your city government to see if you need a permit or license.
2. See if neighbors want to participate and have a “block” sale to attract more visitors.
3. Advertise. Put an ad in free classified papers, Craigslist, put up signs and balloons at major intersections and in stores near your home.
4. Price items ahead and attach prices with removable stickers. Remember, yard sales are supposed to be bargains, so don’t try to sell anything of significant value this way.
5. Check items before the sale to be sure you haven’t including something you want by mistake.
6. Keep pets away from the sale. (Okay, Have to confess - when we did OUR garage sale, the German Shepherds were actually a big hit - you know your own pets, use your own judgement)
7. Display everything neatly and individually so customers don’t have to dig through boxes.
8. Have an electrical outlet so buyers can test appliances.
9. Have plenty of bags and newspaper for wrapping fragile items.
10. Get enough change, and keep a close eye on your cash.
