Many times homeowners want their home on the market RIGHT NOW. Maybe they need to get to their new home quickly, or have other personal reasons to get their home sold quickly.
Putting a home on the market prior to it being truly ready for show, is a huge mistake. Those repairs or de-cluttering efforts and of course deep cleaning should be complete prior to being available for showings. Buyers will see what still needs to be done, and make offers below list price, or worse - not make an offer if it needs work.
Every Seller wants to get the highest and best price for their home, so why not make it the best house on the block? Start with the curb appeal and move inside and clean and clean some more. The best your home look (and smells) the more the buyers will pour in and write offers, many over list price in Denver. Mike did a great job, and go visit his blog too.

The Denver real estate market is on fire! Inventory is slowly increasing, yet almost a fourth of what we had 5 years ago. Yes, houses sell quickly, but those absolutely ready to move in are the ones receiving multiple offers and the highest sales prices.
You cannot cut corners and HOPE buyers will love your house. Take care of those little items in your home that need attention. It doesn't take much time to put a fresh coat of paint, shampoo the carpet, and clean up the front yard for the best curb appeal!
