Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage

It's so easy to speak
from the heart about a
community that's so dear to me.
- Tiffany Lockwood, REALTOR® with Coldwell
Banker Residential Brokerage

Besides knowing neighborhoods and values
better, experienced local brokers can help
navigate property aspects unique to the foothills, like water wells, septic systems and land
survey issues. " Briggs encourages homebuyers to ask about brokers' track records, educational accomplishments and comments
from past clients before deciding which agent
to use. " Responsiveness is key as well. " says
Briggs. " You want a broker who returns your
calls, answers your questions thoroughly and
shares your enthusiasm. "
Realtor® Pandora Erlandson of Pandora
John Properties/Madison & Co confirms that
mountain properties have their own unique
qualities-and challenges. " When purchasing a new home in a mountain community,
it's important to take time with your agent to
explore the myriad of locations and options.
It's also critical prepare to make an offer
quickly when you find your perfect home, as
the 2021 market will stay competitive. Have
your team in place and be sure your lender
and agent are communicating and discuss
options for crafting the best offer possible
with your agent ahead of time. Working with
an agent who is connected in the community,
is well-respected by other agents, and has the
expertise to succeed in a competitive offer
situation will ensure you come out ahead and

have a smooth road to closing on your
dream home! "

2. Improve your chances of
buying or selling with some
advance preparation.
Holly Worley of Windermere Real Estate
explains that a little upfront investment can
help get top dollar when selling your home.
" Most sellers ask, When should I sell? and
What do I need to do before I list my home?
Historically, for Evergreen, April has been the
best time to list your home. However, with
our extremely low inventory in the last quarter of 2020, homes are going under contract
quickly when they are in a good location and
priced right regardless of the time of year.
Even with our low inventory, if you are looking to sell and you have the time and the
desire, these items will help you increase your
list price: spruce up your curb appeal; tackle
those deferred maintenance and small home
improvement projects; and have a stager help
convert your home from your personal residence to a model home look. "
