IMPORTANT REAL ESTATE TIPS
Here are some quick tips for any residential home buyer or seller in the Denver metro area to help with a smooth real estate transaction.
BUYER TIPS
- BE PREPAREDAre you really ready to buy? Timing and financing are key to home buys right now. Be prepared to move when a desirable home comes onto the market.
+ KNOW YOUR BUDGETThe pre-qualification will determine your budget. This helps maximize your time with me so that we don’t look at properties outside the budget or negotiating reason.
|
- GET PREQUALIFIEDWork with a local mortgage broker early in the process so that you are ready to make and offer and purchase when the opportunity arises. Telling the seller that you are pre-qualified helps when encountering bidding wars.
+ LEARN THE NEIGHBORHOODSTake time driving around the neighborhoods within your desired location. We'll concentrate on your top five neighborhoods and I'll begin grassroots marketing to help you secure your number one location. Also, get to know service providers and schools assigned to that neighborhood.

SELLER TIPS
- LEARN ABOUT COMPSYour listing price is key to a quick and successful sell, and I want to make sure you achieve a 96% or higher (list to sell price). I’ll review your neighborhood comps with you and together we’ll price your home appropriately.
+ MAKE NECESSARY INVESTMENTSIf you are aware of breaks, leaks, cosmetic and other small damages to the home, it can be less costly to fix them before listing the home. This will help the home show better and fewer items will show up during the home inspection (which means less bargaining chips for the buyer.

+ STAGE ADEQUATELYThis is where I can help you immensely. Because I am also an interior decorator, I know how to properly set up your home so that it’s pleasing to the buyer’s eyes. From small decorating items like pillows and throws, to setting the ambience with candles, lights, music and fans, we’ll make sure your home is 100% desirable.
