4 Key Factors to Consider Before You Put Your Home on the Market

When it comes to selling your home, it is essential to ensure careful attention and care is taken in every detail to get your Colorado Springs home sold. Price, Condition, Exposure, and your Colorado Springs Realtor are all essential to ensure the sale of your home for the highest price in the shortest possible time.

Price

If you are looking at selling your Colorado Springs home, you need to make sure that you have a top listing agent who can help you through the entire sales process. Laura Kaan is ranked in the top 1% of all Colorado Springs Realtors and has the needed experience, expertise and reputation that you need in a listing agent.

Properly Pricing Your Home

Making sure you price your home properly is often the number one factor that determines how long it will take to sell your home or if it will even sell at all. Pricing your home much higher than the actual market value to “test” the market often causes more harm than good. Many times you’ll end up spending much more money due to the fact that your home is on the market longer or may not even sell at all. A lot of consideration should be taken when determining your proper selling price. Unfortunately market value is not determined by what the homeowner needs to make on the sale of their homes. It depends on the national real estate market, Colorado Springs real estate market, your neighbor submarket, the condition of your home, time of year you sell, the home sellers motivations, and what homes are for sale that you are or will be competing against. Once you and your Colorado Springs Realtor mutually determine and set an asking price, it is essential that all the conditions that went into setting your listing price are consistently evaluated. Your Realtor should update you on a regular basis on these conditions so that you can effectively make a price correction if market conditions change. The overall housing market and neighborhood markets can change quickly. By pro-actively correcting to match or stay ahead of these conditions can save you money and time in the long run.

Exposure

Looking to sell your home in Colorado Springs or Monument, you need the help of one of the best Colorado Springs realtors. Laura Kaan with The Platinum Group Realtors is a top listing agent in Springs market and can help you get your home sold for the highest price in the shortest amount of time possible.

Professionally Marketing Your Home

In this market you NEED maximum exposure! With all the competition your home MUST stand out from the rest of the crowd. Many Realtors will take a few pictures of your home, put it on the MLS and forget about it. Once it’s listed they just hope for the best anticipating that the yard sign and the MLS will sell the home. Although many homes will and do sell this way, you are not getting the professional marketing and exposure that you need and deserve! Studies show that over 80% of home buyers start their home search on the internet. By having wide exposure of your home to potential buyers can mean the difference of selling your home and having it sit. Buyers come to find a home from many different avenues, and ensuring that you have the broadest range of market exposure is an important factor to consider when selling your home. Not only do you need broad exposure but you also need to ensure your home stands out from the rest of the crowd. The Laura Kaan Team will give you maximum exposure while providing professional exposure that will make your home stand out from the crowd.

Realtor

When listing your Colorado Springs home, the condition of the property can effect the sales price and the time on the market. Laura Kaan with the Platinum Group Realtors can help you get your home ready to list and sell.

Getting Your Home Ready to Sell

Not all Realtors are created equal. Don’t choose a Realtor who will list and forget your home. In a perfect market your home might sell itself, but even in the best of times this just is usually not the case. Your Realtor needs to be pro-active in the sale of your home. Ensuring wide market exposure, taping into networks, and through effective relationships, and consistently working your listing your Realtor can make a big difference in selling your home more effectively. Your Realtor should have consistent communications with you. Never hearing from your Realtor is a bad thing. The effective sale and negotiation process of the sale of your home requires consistent communications between the homeowner and the real estate agent.
