DEFERED MAINTAINANCE FOR YOUR EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE

 

When you decide to put your home on the market you need to honestly take a cold hard look at what you are selling. Every home has what is called “deferred maintenance.” Like our car we need to service our homes like we service our cars. Heaters should be cleaned and checked, air conditioners should be charged and cleaned, windows and window tracks should be cleaned, carpets need vacuuming and steam cleaning, walls and ceilings need to be cleaned and repainted, weather stripping needs replacing, and gutters need to be cleaned out, landscaping should be manicured, etc.

 

When showing your home for sale all the basics must be attended to before listing. This is not staging the home but just caring for all the necessary chores that home ownership requires. Like personal hygiene the way a home is cared for says a lot about the property. A well maintained house instills confidence in the buyers and gives them peace of mind.

 

One of the few remaining investments that will legally protect your financial resources is Real Estate. Real Estate is still the best money making investment available. Please, give us a call, and let’s craft a plan for You to profit, and a plan to keep your profits, in this economy.

REALITIES OF THE REAL ESTATE MARKET FOR EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE

REALITIES OF THE REAL ESTATE MARKET FOR EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE

 

When we own a home for several years we have come to expect a profit or a mark up on our homes. For literally decades home prices have increased and even home that were not in tip top sharp could be sold for more money that what folks paid for them. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case. Many people that bought their homes in the last few years will be lucky if the break even or even lose only a couple of thousand dollars.

 

The market is an unforgiving place where the cold hard market prices have no compassion, nor mercy. If the market has fallen below the purchase price of your home then you will not make a profit on your home. There are reasons that house prices have fallen but we, as individuals, can’t control the market forces working against us. All we can do is sell for the highest possible price which may be lower than what we paid several years ago.

 

In today’s market the price may be a function of the position of the seller. If the seller’s motivation is strong and if circumstances are working against the seller they may have to sell, and sell for whatever they can get for their home. This is a hard fact but nevertheless the reality in today’s market.

SALES ASSOCIATES CREATE THE MARKET FOR EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE

SALES ASSOCIATES CREATE THE MARKET FOR EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE

 

Sellers who want to sell their home often feel that the reason they hire a sales person is to sell their house for a higher price; after all why do I need a salesman to sell my property for anything less? The answer is that Real Estate companies and Real Estate sales people create the market. Sales people are not magicians and can’t sell a 300 thousand dollar home for 325 thousand dollars. What they can do is present your home to the widest possible audience so that the highest possible number of prospects is exposed to your home.

 

As we have been discussing in the last few days, the market will decide the price of your home. So even if your Real Estate Sales person were to sell your home for more than the market value, it would not get appraised.

 

The Real Estate Industry has built a super structure of advertising, personal relationships, internet presence, legal training, licensing and support services that create a global market for Real Estate. When you hire MARK ENGLISH REAL ESTATE you are tapping into this huge network that is organized in such a way that it puts buyers and sellers in contact. It is the Real Estate exchange for all Real Estate just as if it was a building like the New York Stock Exchange, and it is where properties are bought and sold.

 

So give us a call and we will get You wired into the world wide Real Estate Exchange. We are MARK ENGLISH REAL ESTATE and DISCOUNT MORTGAGES SERVICES (www.aloan2own.com)  and are Your one stop shop for all Your EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE and CONIFER COLORADO REAL ESTATE.

THE BASICS OF STAGING YOUR HOME FOR SALE ON EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE

 

Presenting your home in the best possible light is extremely critical when you are trying to sell your home, First impressions are very important and you need to attract the buyer’s interest immediately by staging your home.

Preparing Your Home

  • Repaint exterior in necessary and touch up the house as needed for a clean, smooth look.
  • Repair or replace any broken or worn out features of the house such as steps, windows, screens, etc.
  • Clean the entire interior including the windows and the window tracts and frames.  
  • Stage the furniture in an appealing fashion; avoiding a cluttered look.

EVERGREEN COLORAOD REAL ESTATE

WHAT WILL MULTIPLE LISTING DO FOR ME

 

The Colorado Real Estate Law forbids any Licensed Broker from paying any commission, or any part of a commission, to an unlicensed person. Licensed Brokers like MARK ENGLISH REAL ESTATE can only co-broke with other licensed brokers. This requirement is the basis for all Multiple Listing Service.

 

MLS ESTABLISHES THE MARKET

 

But in a larger sense the MLS (multiple listing Service) establishes the Real Estate Market. This is especially true in a global economy. If anyone contacts a Real Estate Broker in Parker, or Colorado Spring Your home in Evergreen or Conifer will be exposed to that buyer. Futhermore, showing  that customer Your property, will be well worth it to that Broker, because they will receive approximately ½  of the commission by selling Your property. In every market the customers want the largest selection, and sellers want the greatest exposure. MLS gives both the buyers and sellers what they want and need.

 

 MLS WEDS BUYERS AND SELLERS

 

By presenting any home, literally in the world, to all buyers, the market is established, and is able to join buyers and sellers in a mutually beneficial arrangement. Just like the stock or bond market weds buyers and sellers, so also MLS weds Property sellers and Property buyers.

 

So please give us a call whether you are buying or sell and we will get You wired to the world. With our web site and our membership in all the MLS services along the Front Range we will advertise Your home world wide. Please, give us a call. We are MARK ENGLISH REAL ESTATE and DISCOUNT MORTGAGES SERVICES. We are the one stop shop for all your EVERGREEN COLORADO REAL ESTATE and EVERGREEN COLORADO HOME LOAN.
