970.726.2600 www.REWinterPark.com

Ultimately, this is your transaction and we work for you.

Throughout the entire listing and sale of your home we will provide you with our professional opinion about many things. Through our combined 130+ years of selling real estate we have an abundance of insight and experience to help guide you in the sale of your home.

2.

That being said, all sellers have different motivations for selling and it is our job to work towards YOUR goals.

Whether it be to get you top dollar, a quick sale, specific contract terms, etc. – or just to find a balance of these or other goals that you have in mind.

Once your sale is complete I am still available to answer any questions you have. I also keep records of all transactions and can supply you with copies of documents pertinent to your sale.

970.726.2600 www.REWinterPark.com

Market Value

970.726.2600 www.REWinterPark.com

Market Value The seller sets the price of the home, but ultimately the buyer determines the value.

Our job is to supply you with facts about what has sold recently and what is currently for sale so that you can make and informed decision when pricing your property or home. ~ Properties Currently Listed = What buyers MIGHT pay… ~Properties Recently Sold = What buyers WILL pay…

~Properties That Have Expired = What buyers WILL NOT pay

What does not contribute to Market Value includes: 

what the seller paid for the property



what the seller owes on the property



how much money the seller wants to make on the property



the actual cost that a seller paid for: ~ an amenity (i.e. a hot tub) ~ remodel (i.e. new kitchen or bath) ~ required maintenance of the home (i.e. new roof, deck, exterior paint/stain, well, etc.)

970.726.2600 www.REWinterPark.com

Interest rates and home prices are on everyone's mind - whether you're buying, selling or happy with your current home. It is just one of those things that savvy people keep track of much like the stock market. This must be because for most people their home is their biggest investment. Mark Roth recently wrote an article published by Business Week "If you don't buy a home now you're either stupid or your broke".

Foreclosures & Short Sales Foreclosure: is the legal and professional proceeding in which a mortgagee, or other lien holder, usually a lender, obtains a court ordered termination of a mortgagor's equitable right of redemption.

US HUD – Avoiding Foreclosure http://portal.hud.gov/portal/page/portal/HUD/topics/avoiding_foreclosure

Colorado Foreclosure Hotline 1-887-601-HOPE http://www.coloradoforeclosurehotline.org/

Short Sale: is a sale of real estate in which the sale proceeds fall short of the balance owed on the property's loan. It often occurs when a borrower cannot pay the mortgage loan on their property, but the lender decides that selling the property at a moderate loss is better than pressing the borrower.

Both parties consent to the short sale process, because it allows them to avoid foreclosure, which involves hefty fees for the bank and poorer credit report outcomes for the borrowers. This agreement, however, does not necessarily release the borrower from the obligation to pay the remaining balance of the loan, known as the deficiency.

Other options: such as refinancing, alternate financing, temporary arrangements with the lender, or even bankruptcy may present homeowners with ways to avoid foreclosure. Talk with your lender or call the foreclosure hotline.

Please keep me informed if you are facing a short sale or foreclosure.

We want to help you before the bank takes over.

Thinking About doing a FSBO? Did you know that the national sales average for a typical home sold by a real estate agent is nearly 43% more than the typical “for sale by Owner?”

Most homeowners who choose to sell their home themselves do so to save the commission. The reality is, these homeowners would have walked away with more money had they let an agent do the hard work for them! After all, great Realtors do so much more than put a sign in the yard. We bring the real estate experience and knowledge that allows us to understand: •

They type of buyer to target for your unique home.

•

Key selling points of your neighborhood.

•

How to market to your neighbors to help us find a buyer.

•

They perfect marketing strategy to advertise your home around the clock.
