Clients Love Working With Janet!

See what clients are saying...

I highly recommend Janet to anyone looking to buy a home. She truly went above and beyond to make my experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. Not only did she save me money, but she was always available to answer any questions I had throughout the entire process. Even after the sale was complete, she continued to be available and went out of her way to help with things outside of her responsibilities. She is knowledgeable, professional, and truly cares about her clients. I cannot thank her enough for all of her hard work and dedication.

Heath O. | Seller We've worked with Janet for two home sales and two home purchases and always felt that she was working in our best interest. She's been a pleasure to work with every step of the way and has extensive knowledge of the market. Janet also has a great network of professionals for every need - financing, inspections, staging, repairs and upgrades; you name it, she can bring in the right person for the job! I would highly recommend her and look forward to working with her on our next move!

Ted S. | Seller Janet helped us find our first home and then 11 years later plus a much bigger family she helped us sale that home and build a new construction home. She is very knowledgeable about the market and “has a guy” for everything from inspections, to contractors, cleaners to craftsmen, etc. She is a one stop shop for all things house related!

Melinda + Shawn C | Seller We have known Janet Leap for many years, and we are very impressed with her excellent service. My husband and I have worked with Janet Leap on the sale and purchase of our home, which she ran so smoothly, making it less stressful, & more of an enjoyable experience for us. Janet is intuitive when it comes to meeting the needs of her clients. She will go above and beyond to satisfy her clients needs, as she did with us! I highly recommend Janet Leap for the sale or purchase of your home.

Property Listing Process

Here is how we get your home sold!

1. RESEARCH & PRICING Janet meets with home owners to present a Comparative Market Analysis to help guide pricing decisions based on other properties on the market and past sales. This is a dynamic process, guided by Janet, but always in collaboration with the homeowner, since you know your property and neighborhood the best.

2. HOME PREPARATION Based on conversations with the owners, Janet prepares a detailed list of projects that could be done to maximize the sale price. Our team has contractors and specialists we have vetted who are available to get projects done right away. This could include repairs, landscaping, window washing, new carpet, and so much more. We won't waste time getting your home ready to be on the market!

We also create a timeline of events leading up to your home being active on the MLS so you are always in the know about where we are in the process of preparing your home for sale.

When the work is done we coordinate with professional photographers to take photos, video, drone photos/video and a virtual walk through of your home. We leave no stone unturned to present your home in the best light to minimize time on market and maximize sale price.

3. PRE-MLS EXPOSURE Janet presents your off-market home in person to the weekly meeting of over 100 Realtors at RE/MAX of Boulder.

Your home is put in the RE/MAX Vault to automatically match your home with buyers looking for properties like yours.

Your property is presented to a group of some of the highest performing Realtors in Boulder County through Janet's Realtor network.

4. MARKETING Our team has a dedicated marketing manager who manages the creation of visually stunning photography, video, drone footage, and virtual walk throughs of your home. Additionally they manage the promotion of your home through social media, websites, etc.

We schedule and host a Broker Open [to present property to Realtors, pre-MLS], Coming Soon listing and Open House [if desired].

Professional print marketing puts your home in the best light. Materials include an eBlast to ~4500 Metro-area Realtors, printed brochures at your home, and Just Listed cards sent to the neighborhood, just to name a few.

5. MLS LIVE If your home hasn't sold pre-MLS, it hits the market by starting as a Coming Soon listing [time permitting]. This generates additional exposure so when your home is active on the MLS there is maximum interest.

While your home is on the MLS we use a professional showing service to make showings easy and convenient. You get to approve showings based on the criteria that works best for you and your family. You will also receive feedback from agents who have showed your property so you know exactly what buyers are thinking about your property. We manage this service for you, but always keep you informed.

6. CONTINUED MARKETING Your home is continually promoted on our website, through your property's individual website, Re/Max of Boulder's website, our social channels, Re/Max of Boulder's social channels and across the Re/Max worldwide online platforms. We also include your listing in monthly newspaper listings and continue to present your home to Realtors who have buyers who may be interested in your home.

7. COMMUNICATION Communication is key to the successful sale of your home. Janet's team stays in regular communication with all owners throughout the listing process. You can expect consistent updates on the marketing of your home, feedback from showings, updates on status, and anything else pertaining to your home. You will receive a weekly update on marketing and activity. We make your experience as stress-free as possible by keeping you in the loop at all times.

Establishing a Price How do you price your house? Excellent question!

We start with a Comparative Market Analysis [CMA] which gives us data points on properties similar to yours. We will look at the data and comparable properties to start. Then we fine tune the price by considering things in your home compared to those in other homes on the market. Below are some things we consider as we work together to help you come up with the right price to list your home.

PAST SALES

CONDITION

Take the time to study past sales for homes in your area and areas similar to yours. Having a clear understanding of true market value is the first step in establishing your list price.

We put ourselves in the buyer's shoes and ask what they would find most valuable in homes like yours. Updated kitchens? Renovated rooms? These all factor into the final price.

MARKET STATS

LISTINGS

Pricing your home largely depends on what type of market we will be listing in. If it's a buyer's market you'll be pricing lower, if it's a seller's market you'll be pricing higher.

We study active listings to see what homes we'll be competing with.

Buyers tend to compare your home to these homes.

UNDERPRICED Loses value Decreases future buying power Deters skeptical buyers

MARKET VALUE Attracts more buyers Higher sale price Faster sale

OVERPRICED Sits on market longer Price drops can send the wrong message to buyers Prices out potential buyers

Get the most value FOR YOUR HOME To ensure you get the most value out of your home, here are a few tips to present your home in the best light: Declutter Replace Dead Light Bulbs Replace Smoke Detectors Batteries Have House Professionally Cleaned Box Up Clutter Remove Personal Photos/Artwork Fix Holes in Walls Touch-Up Paint Where Needed House Tidy/Clean
