Higher Value

Motley Fool said that you make money in real estate by buying low and selling high. In a stressed real estate marketplace, how can you maximize your values? DenverHomeSearches knows that most people do not present their homes effectively to maximize their pricing potential. This is where DenverHomeSearches can add value for you. The typical realtor sells themselves in their newsletters and web sites as sales professionals. They want to list your home. Most realtors make up a brochure, put a ‘for sale' sign in your yard, put your home in the MLS and possibly on their web site (which is not an authority ranked web site), and wait for a call. All of the marketing effort has gone into finding you , and not finding the buyer for your home.

DenverHomeSearches knows that when selling a home, there are 3 main factors that will cause a buyer to make an offer and buy your home before your competition. The 3 factors are price, quality, and location. Once a buyer has chosen location, a better product will always sell first. So the question becomes “How do we make your home a better product” for the buyer. We know for example that the following areas, when improved, can sell a home and recapture higher value. A contractor will say that when you do the following upgrades, you will get the following typical results in your equity:

•  A minor kitchen remodel - You can expect to recoup 93% of this investment when you sell your home.

•  Bathroom remodeling - You can expect to recoup 76%.

•  Siding replacement - You can expect to recoup 72%.

•  Home office addition - You can expect to recoup 66%.

•  Window replacement - You can expect to recoup 64%.

As a rule, when dealing with a contractor to have improvements done, you will never make back what you paid. If you build it, they may come ... but will they buy it? Renovations can be a determining factor in a Denver homes sale. But which renovations and at what cost; truly increase the market value of your home? This is why many people do not improve their homes just prior to selling their homes. The challenge is that you may want more price for your house than your house is worth. This creates a chasm. The product and its stated value will not meet with the buyer's perceived value for that home. This is where DenverHomeSearches makes a BIG difference in selling your home. The challenge that we face is how to make your home a better product, but without the overhead of a contractor, thus allowing you to ‘right price' your home and ultimately sell your home. Kitchens and bathrooms tend to top the list for remodeling. Kitchens and bathrooms sell homes. Dollar for dollar, our clients get more return on their investment by updating these two living quarters. Of course, improvements vary based on the individual home. If something is worn or in shabby condition, such as a roof, it may hurt a potential sale more than a fabulous kitchen remodeling will help. For quick-sale improvements, interior and exterior painting can make a dramatic difference in a tired-looking house. And when repairs or improvements are needed, finding the right person to get the job done, at the lowest price, can be an impossible task.
