Denver Real Estate FAQs
Selling or buying a property can be a daunting task, especially for first-time buyers or sellers.
You may have a lot of questions regarding the process, legalities, and market trends.
This is where a trusted real estate agent comes in. As your agent, it's our duty to provide
you with tailored guidance to help you decide with confidence. Here are some frequently asked
questions and their answers for clients looking to buy or sell real estate.
Q. What are the steps involved in selling a home, and how long does it typically take?
​
A. Selling a home involves several steps, including a pre-inspection, repairs, and staging, before listing it. Your agent will then present all offers to you, and you can decide to accept or reject them. Once you've accepted an offer, there will be contract negotiations, inspection, and appraisal. If everything goes well, you can expect to close the sale within 14 to 60 days.
Q. How can I evaluate the value of my property?
​
A. The value of a property depends on many factors, including market conditions, physical factors, and location. Your agent will analyze comparable homes in your area, also known as "comps," to help you pinpoint the optimal price for your property.
Q. How can I prepare my home for sale, and what repairs should I make?
​
A. It would be best if you considered pre-inspection, repairs, and staging to show your home in the best light. A pre-inspection can help you avoid last-minute issues, and staging can help potential buyers envision themselves living in your home. It's best to focus on repairs that can affect the value of your home, such as roofs, heating, A/C, electrical, plumbing, and sewer lines.
Q. How can I negotiate the best price when buying a property?
​
A. When buying a property, it's important to have a pre-approval letter from your lender to show the seller that you are a serious buyer. Your agent can help you identify properties in your price range and submit an offer to the seller. Once the seller responds, you can begin negotiations, taking into account the value of the property, comparable homes in the area, and any repairs or additional expenses.
Q. What factors should I consider when buying a property, and how can I find the right agent?
​
A. When buying a property, it's important to consider factors such as location, proximity to essentials, home size and lot size, architectural style, and condition. It's also important to find a real estate agent who has experience in the local market, is trustworthy, and can provide tailored guidance throughout the buying process.
