7 Tips for First-Time Home Sellers

Planning to sell your home? Fantastic!! The Denver metro market is HOT! Here are seven tips to help:

#1 Prepare for your own purchase: Where you will live next? A new home or rental? Save time and money by not moving multiple times.

#2 Get your home ready for showings: Prepare your home to become “a house” again. Fix minor breaks, update the landscaping and etc.

#3 Start looking for a real estate agent: Get referrals and research them online. Check out their stats, recent solds and reviews.

#4 Price your property right: Avoid overpricing! It can hurt your return. Ask your agent for a market comparison.

#5 Market the home appropriately: Your real estate agent will list your home…. On dozens of sites, including Metrolist (our MLS).

#6 Make the house available: Be ready to leave the house for showings. They can happen at all daylight hours.

#7 Plan your negotiation: Know what you will & won’t give to close the sale. Compromise on minor items to help your home close.
