5 Reasons Why a Home Will not SellThere are many reasons why homes have a difficult time selling. This might be the top five reasons how sellers contribute:1. Not Being a Serious Seller. Sellers in this market need to be serious. We have plenty of inventory to weed thru and having a non-motivated seller makes it harder to find the best homes. Now is not the time to get top dollar for your home, so sell only if you need to. 2. Don't Listen to Your Agent Sellers need to listen to the professional that they hired. We need to take charge and tell you things that you do not want/like to hear. Listen and remember to help us help you. 3. Price Too High Sellers will think that there home is worth much more. Seasoned agents will not show over priced homes, period. Your home will only sell for what the market price is, not an inflated price. Also, don't assume that a appraisal is the market value. Many markets have lost value and many appraisals are were not accurate at the time. 4. Fail To be Prepared to Sell Sellers need to be ready to sell there home on day one. The first person thru the door might be the buyer. Failing to paint, clean, stage your home could ruin the deal. Have all the dogs and cats put away to make for an easier showing. Rid your home of all smells. This includes pet, cooking, trash, and dirty diapers. Have your most opined friend tell you the truth and listen to them and your agent. 5. Not Acting on Feedback Your agent has gone out of his way to make sure that you receive feedback. Sellers need to listen and take action on that feedback. When the feedback is the wall paper in the kitchen is said over and over, remove it! Or if the home as a smell, refer to number 4. Bottom Line, remove all objections that you hear. In correcting the above issues you are more likely to sell your home and move to your dream home. Listen, Prepare, React and Sell you home. Call a Professional, In Colorado Springs Real Estate or Contact Me. Deal Breakers, Buyer Issues As an experinced Real Estate professional I have seen many things come up that will ruin a deal. I call them deal breakers. Today I will focus on the Buyers. As we all know buyers really hold the power in many cases to a deal being completed. They have very little money into the deal, earnest money. They are sometimes very picky and in today's market they are overloaded with information. Here are some items to consider when working with buyers: 1. Failed to Tell the Truth to the lender on initial loan application. Delay of 1 week to end of contract? 2. Failed to Tell the Truth to the Realtor. Delay of a 1 week to deal breaker. Work only with buyers as Buyer Agents and fully qualify for a loan. 3. Down Payment Not Verified or Not Available. Deal Breaker!!! 4. Finds a Better Deal during the Inspection Period. Deal Breaker!!! 5. Job Changes or Layoffs before Closing. Deal Breaker!!! 6. Gets Spooked about an inspection objection. Deal Breaker !!! 7. Decides at the Last Minute they don't like the house, neighborhood, schools, don't want to pack. Deal Breaker These are just a few of the highlights of issues that can happen. Always insist on Buyers Agency, and sell your home with a Professional not FSBO. If you are interested in buying a home in Colorado Springs or Selling a home in Colorado Springs, please contact me.

Buyers Starting To Buy!!!In the Colorado Springs Market in the last week I have have a rush of buyers start to look and just maybe they are talking about writing a contract. I almost have forgotten how to write a contract and now I have 5 new clients that are getting very close. Our company has seen a rise in showing on our listings has gone crazy. On my one listing alone I have seen 7 buyers and 2 very serious. Let's thank the Fed for lowering the rates even though we all know that Fed rates don't reflect the mortgage rates. I am just trying to reinforce the point that now homes are on sale, rates are super low, and now is the very best time. Lets get out there and sell and prosper.
