Today we're going to continue our discussion of my book, Maximum Value, and we'll be speaking about codependency and pricing. 

Codependency is a situation where a lowball buyer places an offer on a home, and in return the seller raises the price of the property thinking that the buyer and the seller will meet somewhere in the middle. The thing with codependent relationships is that they just don't work out. When the seller raises the price of the home, they are pricing themselves out of the market. 

Unfortunately, this sort of stalemate can happen in a seller's market. The truth is that you need to price your home slightly below/above the market value. This strategy usually attracts the most buyers and will get you a good price on your property. 

If you would like to learn more about this, please feel free to reach out to me. The Denver real estate market is constantly shifting, so please don't forget to use me as a resource.

...and also, don't forget to tune in next time where I'll be discussing magnetism and how it functions in the selling process.

Have you ever heard of a pinball listing? If not, you're certainly not alone. Today, we're going to explain exactly what a pinball listing is and how you can avoid having one yourself! 

The term comes right out of our helpful book, Pricing Your Home for Maximum Value. A pinball listing is a home that is overpriced. An overpriced home in a seller's market will experience a pinball effect, where buyers will bounce off to another house as soon as they realize the property is overpriced. Pinball listings tend to sit on the market for an extended period of time because they scare buyers away. 

When you overprice your home, you are effectively making other homes in your neighborhood look more attractive. Those homes are priced better and will certainly sell quicker. If you're looking to sell, but aren't highly motivated to do so, it's not the end of the world to have a pinball listing - if you're lucky, you may find a buyer accept your high price. On the other hand, if you're serious about getting the maximum value of your house in a short period of time, you need to price your home right.

If you're interested in learning about the steps you can take to get the most out of your home sale, I would love to send you a free book. Pricing Your Home for Maximum Value will help you start getting your home ready for a successful sale. Give us a call or shoot us an email if you would like a

The Benefits of Active Marketing

We want to share with you today the difference between active and passive marketing. People always ask what we do differently. Aside from us being a team who can do much more than an individual, we are most proud of our active marketing style. 

Most agents employ passive marketing techniques. While these techniques work sometimes, they aren't as effective. Simply putting a home on the MLS, putting a sign in the front yard, and praying for calls won't get the job done. Passive marketing is reactive, which means these agents are sitting back and waiting. Nobody ever got anything worthwhile done by sitting around and doing nothing. Our active approach is what makes us different. 

We do many things actively to help market your home. We call all the agents that have sold homes in your neighborhood, along with all the homeowners in your area to gauge interest. We are actively going to business to see if they know of any buyers and are always talking to other Realtors and homeowners to canvas the area. That's the way you find a real buyer. 

If you have any questions for us, feel free to contact us. We would be happy to help you with any problem you may have.
