Selling Your Denver Home

Typical seller costs include agent compensation (negotiable, agreed in writing up front), title and closing fees, prorated property taxes, and any negotiated buyer concessions or repairs. I provide a line-item net sheet before we list so you know your estimated proceeds at several price scenarios — no surprises at the closing table.

Denver has more active inventory than it did during the frenzy, so buyers are choosier and pricing matters more than it used to. That said, well-prepared, correctly priced homes still sell quickly. Waiting only helps if your home will be materially better prepared or your local inventory will thin out — I'll show you the data for your specific neighborhood rather than the metro average.

I build a comparative market analysis from recent closed sales, active competition, pending activity, and current absorption rate in your immediate area — then adjust for condition, layout, lot, and upgrades. Overpricing by even 5% typically costs sellers more in eventual price reductions and days on market than pricing correctly from day one.

Rarely a full renovation. The highest-return work is almost always paint, decluttering, lighting, landscaping cleanup, and fixing obvious deferred maintenance. I'll walk your home and give you a prioritized list with an honest read on what will pay for itself and what won't — and where staging is worth the cost.

Days on market varies by price band and submarket. Correctly priced, well-presented homes usually see meaningful showing activity in the first 10 days, which is the window that determines the outcome. If we don't see traffic in that window, that's a pricing or presentation signal and we adjust quickly rather than waiting it out.

Almost every inspection finds something. The goal is to keep the deal together without giving away your equity — that means separating safety and lender-required items from wish-list requests, getting real repair bids instead of guesses, and negotiating credits where they cost less than repairs. Pre-listing prep dramatically reduces the size of that conversation.

Commission is negotiable and we agree on it in writing before listing. Off-market sales are possible and occasionally the right call for privacy or timing, but they typically reduce competition — and competition is what drives price. I'll show you what comparable off-market and on-market sales actually netted so you can decide with numbers, not opinions.
