Another Successful SOLD Home in Adams County!

Westminster, CO - There is nothing more exciting than when a successful closing comes together in less than 29 days!!

Having the Right property, at the Right location, with the Right Condition, with the RIGHT PRICE, to procure the Right Buyer to have a successful Closing, is the RIGHT way to do it!!

Taking the time to prepare your Seller to do the necessary updates, clean-ups, painting, etc, will make the difference is marketing a HOME that is ready to sell versus one not so ready for the market.  That main difference is getting the home SOLD in a timely manner!
 I would say, that placing a home on the market, obtaining a solid offer in 1 day, and having a successful closing within 29 days, and this was an FHA Buyer, is what you were hired to do!!

I have so much gratitude towards my Sellers for doing exactly what was asked of them to prepare their home for the market.  Not rushing in to getting it on the market prior to all the items it needed done, first, made this selling experience a very satisfying one for my clients!!

We walked the home, a month prior to placing it for sale, and discussed the items that needed to be updated, painted, and personal items removed.  The next important issue to address were the big ticket items.  The roof and furnace are always those items the cost lots of money to repair or replace.  

In this case, the roof was NOT an issue, but the furnace ended up needing to be replaced.  So, after this was done, we were able to adjust our listing price to accommodate for this NEW item.

Many times I have suggested to my clients (sellers) to have a pre-listing inspection performed so that they will have an idea of what the buyers will have concerns about.  Sellers should NOT be afraid to discover something they may not know because of this inspection.  Also, they can provide it to the buyer!! 

Remember, the RIGHTS of placing a home on the market!!  They are:

The Right Property, Right location, Right condition, Right PRICE, will result in the Right Buyer bringing you the Right offer!  These will result in the successful closing!!

Look for the Broomfield/Westminster real estate market to continue its customary path this fall as sales activity and inventory levels decline through the balance of the year.
Home mortgage interest rates should remain around 3.25% to 3.5% for the traditional thirty-year fixed-rate
loan.
New home construction will continue to increase across the Denver Metro area, Boulder Valley, and Northern Colorado as new subdivisions come on-line and in-fill projects are built out.

As noted by the chart above, home values have increased over the past year in Broomfield/Westminster. With the increase in sales activity and decrease in available inventory … scarcity will create demand!!

A Mental Breakdown or What?

  Westminster, CO -  Every now and then you get a strange request from a homeowner that finds your blog and needs to inquire about the short sale process!
Now, that's a good thing!!  We certainly want to assist someone that has a real estate need.

 A few weeks ago, I was approached via my email in regards to how a short sale works.  After a few emails back and forth to discover exactly why this homeowner was need of a short sale, and especially since it was ON THE MARKET, with another local real estate broker, she asked that I call her and come to her home.

With that invitation from the Seller, we proceeded and met to discuss and review all the real estate docs.  Prior to my visit, the homeowner requested the current real estate broker to stop marketing her home.  NOW, we all know what that really means to a real estate brokerage firm.... and we go on to discover what the heck is going on here. 

Once, I had the opportunity to review the current MLS of this property information and the documentation of the real estate docs, we have come to the conclusion that there HAD to be a real mistake during this process of marketing the home.

The current DEBT on the property was about equal to the value it had been placed on the market!!  Which means, that the homeowner would have to either, bring money to the table or negotiate a short pay-off (short sale) with the lenders!  There is a 1st and 2nd lien on this property.

The Title company had notified the homeowner that based on the current debt and selling costs, their estimated NET (Not so sure why this information was not disclosed to the Seller by the real estate broker - like during the CMA presentation), she would need to bring funds in excess of $11,000!!

This of course has created a great concern from the Seller, and recognizes that she would be in a short sale situation!!  This was never addressed with her by the current real estate broker, nor are there any addendums (short sale addendum) addressing the shortage of funds to sell!

The Title company had provided her the information 3 weeks into the marketing process!! 

It appears that someone had NOT done their due diligence in listing this property, possibly by performing a proper O & E search you would have had a better understanding,  and if they had... why was this NEVER discussed with the homeowner??

Based on the real estate docs that the Seller had signed and had copies of, nothing discloses this short pay-off situation!!  The property has been withdrawn from the MLS!!

We shall see where this "sad situation" ends up!!
