Prices and sales are up, but inventory and interest rates remain low. Because of this, most homes on the market sell pretty quickly. What if your house wasn’t one of those? What if it became an expired listing? There are a few small adjustments you can make to help you sell it. When a home doesn’t sell, the homeowner usually does one of three things. They either re-list with the same agent to get the same results, or they may decide to either rent it or keep it. If your home won’t sell and it’s frustrating you, you need to bring me out to take a look at it. Many times, all it takes is a small adjustment to the approach of selling it. “ What happens if you’re a seller in a hot market but your house fails to sell? That’s where we come in as experts in listings that expire. ”I specialize in helping homeowners sell homes that didn’t sell the first time. If you check out the video above, you can see some examples of houses that didn’t sell. One sat on the market for 59 days with no offers. The photos of the home were a bit dark and made the rooms looks small. So, we came in with our professional photographer and also made some staging adjustments. The house, in turn, sold in four days for more than $2,000 above list price. Even in the best markets, some homes just don’t sell. So let my team of experts take a look at it and help you go from a ‘shown’ to a ‘sold.’ If you have any questions, give us a call or send us an email soon. We look forward to helping you!

Open houses are a tried and true method of selling a home, but you need to do it right to get buyers through the door. Here are a few tips to make that happen. Selling your Colorado Springs home?

They can really be hit and miss, so if you decide to have one, you need to make sure you do it right. Start by depersonalizing the house so that when buyers walk through, they can visualize themselves living there, not you. Remove anything polarizing, anything religious, and believe it or not, sports team-related things. Secondly, you need to declutter the house. You know you'll be moving, so you can actually start to pre-pack, as I call it. You want to create space so buyers can really see the house. You want to lure buyers into your home. The outside of the house can be more important because if buyers don't get a good first impression from your home's curb appeal, they might just keep on driving. Clean your walkway, get rid of spider webs, paint your front door, and make sure your lawn is mowed and inviting. “ You want to lure buyers into your home. ”If you have any leftover items on a honey-do list that have been there for a while, you want to take care of them now. Better yet, you can hire a handyman to do it. You don't want buyers to see repairs you've put off as chores they'll inherit. Lastly, hire a professional real estate agent to really get buyers through the door. You can do all the steps I've mentioned, but if you can't get buyers into your house, it's all for naught. An agent will cast a wide net to get buyers through your door and the highest offer possible. If you have any other questions about preparing for an open house or you're considering selling your house, give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to helping you!
