Selling Tips for Colorado Luxury Real Estate

June 25, 2014 By Mark Hunke

We’ve talked a lot about what to look for when buying a luxury home in Colorado and what the different communities in the Denver area have to offer. But what if you’re on the other end of the real estate game? You might want to sell your luxury home due to a move to another part of the country or just a desire to shift somewhere else in the state of Colorado. When it comes to selling a luxury home, consider the tips presented here.

First Impressions are Everything

Usually, a potential buyer will form an impression of your home within minutes of stepping through the door. The first look inside a house will often make the difference between a buyer deciding to move on to the next house or putting your luxury home on their short list. Improving your home’s first impressions usually comes down to a matter of housekeeping and yard maintenance. Make sure the house looks great both inside and out. Rearrange furniture to emphasize the space on the inside, even if you usually prefer a different arrangement. The moment you decide to sell your home, it becomes more about excellent appearance rather than your personal comfort.

Consider Offering Incentives

If a potential buyer is on the fence when it comes to putting down an offer, adding a little something extra can help push them over the edge. The most common extra incentive in this regard tends to be furniture or works of art that you might be willing to part with. In general, the only thing that stays behind with a home after a sale are lights and other fixtures. If you notice the potential buyer showing some interest in something else that would normally come with you, consider throwing it in as a bonus for purchasing the home. This can help build a connection to the buyer that will help you in negotiations and it might help you avoid having to provide some money back at closing.

Keep Calm and Carry On

When you put your home up for sale, you might find yourself worrying if the house stays on the market for a long period. This is natural, but you need to make sure that you stay calm and patient throughout the process. The real estate market has plenty of ups and downs, and this means that it shifts from being a buyer’s market back to a seller’s market eventually. If your house is on the market for a year or more, you should consider looking into the price or other incentives that can help it move, but don’t panic otherwise. If you start to worry and try to sell your house quickly in a slow market, you run the risk of losing out on a lot of money. Luxury homes are valuable. Treat yours like that.

Selling a luxury home can seem like a very daunting task, but the truth is that a lot of people want great houses like that. This is doubly true in the Colorado area, where beauty and great neighborhoods abound. Keep these tips in mind and the selling process will be much easier for you.
