What to Do Now if You Want to Buy or Sell Soon

𝗜𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀? Well, 2021 is just a few days away...so here are a few things you can do to make your goal a reality!

𝗕𝗨𝗬𝗘𝗥𝗦

𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 + 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀. Denver moves fast + is competitive. In order to set yourself up for success, you have to PREPARE + be ready to go when a home you love comes up. If you wait til after you find the perfect house, you’re already behind the game + another buyer will probably swoop on it before you can get things lined up! Let’s jump on Zoom call so I can walk you through the steps in the process + get you a buyers packet so you can be fully informed!

𝗙𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. You need to know what you qualify for so you can search in the right price range + you definitely can’t make offers until you’re fully pre-approved. If you do this early, a lender can advise if there’s any way you can improve your credit and let you know what you need to save.

𝗦𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀. Browse online, but also drive around and get a feel for areas you like + may want to live in. This will help you narrow things down when you’re ready to start house-hunting! 

𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗥𝗦

𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀. Have a Realtor prep a CMA so you know what your home is worth (don’t trust online estimates!) and a Net Sheet to show you what your proceeds could be. If you’re planning to sell + buy, chat with a lender to see what your financing options are in regards to having a contingency, securing a bridge loan, or buying first then selling.

𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗮 𝗷𝘂𝗺𝗽 𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿, 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗸, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲. Store items you won’t need anytime soon + get rid of anything you wouldn’t take with you in a move. Organize closets and “catch all” spaces too.

𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻. This is a must. Buyers don’t like funky smells, dusty corners, and dirty walls/baseboards that you probably don’t even notice. If you’re not up for it, it’s worth hiring a professional!
