Happy 2014! I hope you are having a great year so far. Today I wanted to talk about preparing your home for sale. You may be thinking about selling your home this year or later on down the road; either way, I have key information about preparing your home for sale.

Before I go into that, I want to mention two things; the first being our Market Snapshot Tool. If you’re interested in knowing the value of your home, this is a great tool we use with both our past and current clients. With this, you will receive a monthly email showing what has been selling in your neighborhood, what is active and what is under contract. Secondly, if you’re looking to buy a home, we offer a private portal that shows you the homes for sale in the areas you’re interested in. Feel free to reach out to me if you want to take part in any of these services!

Before prepping your home for sale, you’ll want to get a good feel for what neighborhood homes are selling for. The next piece of information you’ll want to know is what price range you want to sell your home in. This is a great opportunity for us to give you some initial values and general comparable properties via email. After this is determined, we have a 75 point checklist that analyzes the important areas, from room to room, to start preparing your home for sale. This checklist goes a long way!

Another step a lot of my clients like to do is to complete a pre-home inspection or obtain a home warranty before even placing the home on the market. This allows you to deal with any issues that may arise during the sale that you couldn’t see on your own. Consider it this way: the inspection process is not dissimilar to buying a used car!

With spring coming up, I hope this helps you when you’re preparing your home for sale. If you have any questions or any inclination to sell your home, give us a call! We look forward to your call being the best call of the day.

"Very professional, knowledgable, friendly... can't say enough good things! Most of our family is involved in the real estate business, so we were hesitant to use an agent when we relocated to Denver (both because we feel pretty comfortable with the process and because we didn't feel that agents generally offer services worthy of a 3-7% compensation). Glad The Anderson Group changed our minds!! In a market like Denver's, particularly, it pays to have a professional on your side who not only knows the area well, but also has a strong network that alerts him/her of potential properties before they even hit the market. The ultra fancy relo materials, beautiful office, and stellar communication were the unexpected bonuses! Oh, and the champagne toast at closing... love!! Thanks so much for a great home-buying experience!!"

"We used Ryan Anderson and the Anderson Group to sell our house. We are very happy with the results! He got us top dollar and definitely let us know what we needed to do to get our house ready and it sold very quickly. One of the things that we liked about working with Ryan was that he was a little different than other Realtors that we had used before. He had a business process that he laid out, and he talked about all of the issues about where we wanted to go. As you can see behind us is our new townhouse. Because not only did he sell our house but he wanted to know what we were going to do for the rest of our lives and the townhouse was part of that plan!"

“Well I'm down sizing, I wanted to get rid of the yard so that I didn’t have to shovel snow anymore. It was very difficult to find a place and bid on it quickly. But Ryan and his Anderson group move fast. We looked at this home on a Thursday and began negotiating. On Friday I climbed a Fourteener, I was on Greys Peak. Every time I was able to get signal on my phone I would get a text from Ryan to update me on where we were in the negotiation. I kept climbing the mountain and getting texts and by the time I came back down, I had a text that said I needed to stop at a place that I could get signal long enough to sign the contract. With my finger on my phone to sign the contract, I had a house by the end of the day after climbing a Fourteener! It's been great. The "get things done now" process was exactly what I needed. Ryan knew what I needed, because Ryan and Tessa sat down with me for a couple of hours and actually got to know my wants and needs. With that I have exactly what I want, I've downsized and I have time to play and it's because of the team... the whole team!”

"He was wonderful! Great ideas and even helped staged our rooms one afternoon. We sold in 10 days! What a work horse. Will use him again and again."

"Ryan was amazing. He made every effort to make sure I got the right house for me. Always had numerous showings set up and was very efficient with my time. What I thought would take 2-3 months to find the perfect house he found in 3 weeks."
