Selling Your Bozeman Home

Want to sell your home in the shortest period of time at the best possible price? Selling your home can be a challenge even for the most immaculate residence. Here are some pointers to speed up the process of selling your home.

Remove clutter

  • Family pictures.
  • Notes on the fridge.
  • Remove furniture that cramps your living space.
  • If you have a large piece of furniture that interferes with window views and room flow, think of rearranging/removing the intrusive item.

Maintenance

  • Keep the interior clean- Make sure your entry is spotless; this is the first and last place your potential buyers will see.
  • When it comes to homes, many buyers judge a book by its cover. Make sure the exterior of your home…

Short Real Estate Sale Assistance

Selling your home can be a daunting experience, especially when it is worth less than you purchased it for.   If you can no longer afford your home and the fear of foreclosure looms, a short sale may be an option. But the key to a successful short sale is to ACT EARLY! I can't stress this enough. I have had several clients come into my office for help one week before their home was to hit the courthouse steps! Do NOT do this! We will have a very difficult time helping you and getting the bank to stall the foreclosure in that short time.  Below are the materials you will need for short sale consideration. If it is your primary residence, do not sweat the sale as you shouldn't be forced responsible for the difference. …

Why use a real estate agent? 

  • Reduced liability
  • A non-biased perspective on your home; value, location, etc.
  • Agents facilitate showings so that buyers can be more relaxed and open
  • An agent can help review buys/sells and weigh the outcomes, both good and bad.

Many Real Estate Agents do not sell their home FSBO because they do not feel that they can remove their emotions from the home.  Having another person facilitate the showings, provide disclosures, be on call, and remove some of the liability from you can be worth it.

If you are going to sell your home FSBO, do your homework and follow the attached link to educate yourself so you can close the deal! Good luck!

Tools For "For Sale By Owners"

Pricing Your Home

Visit the open houses of comparable homes. As many as possible! List what sets your home apart, both bad and good.  Be realistic.  If you test the waters first by listing at a higher price, then you may be hurting your home's ability to sell.

Contact a Realtor and request a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) from them.  Be upfront and let the agent know that you are trying to sell your home FSBO.  If your home doesn't get much activity as a FSBO , then you can consider forming a business relationship with the agent that assisted you, but get their credentials before you list your home. (If you get VERY little activity, then your home may be overpriced)

Choosing the Right Neighborhood for You

When you talk with your Realtor about homes that interest you, the neighborhood should be an important factor. If not the most important. Here I touch on several important things to consider in researching neighborhood communities. Some of these factors will attract while others may deter. When people ask how to choose a subdivision these are often the most important considerations.

Neighborhood Schools

Schools are very important when it comes to real estate prices. A good school system can drive up property values and insulate them against fluctuations in the market.

Subdivision Crime and Safety 

Who doesn't want to live in the safest community possible? But not all of us can afford to live in a…

5 Star Listing Agent in Bozeman

The Way I Sell It.

Let's face it, Real Estate is not cheap. In most cases, it's the largest and most committing purchase a person will spend their hard-earned money on. This is why customer service is so important regardless of where your property is situated in the market. My areas of expertise are new construction, residential, and luxury real estate. But knowledge is power so they say, and I task myself with staying current on the ever-changing market and laws that affect real estate transactions. I won't be so bold as to claim that I'm not in real estate to make money, because I am. It's my livelihood, but it's not the most important thing, the quality of care and attention I give my clients is. I want to earn my…

The Dinosaur Park Bozeman

In Bozeman, MT we are always looking for good outdoor family fun. The Dinosaur Park in Gallatin County Regional Park provides plenty of outdoor stimulation for children from toddler age and up. The park has tons of fun features and, considering it's a dinosaur playground, let's not forget the dinosaur sculptures which are various dinosaurs that roamed Montana years ago. They provide learning opportunities as well as tons of fun.

While the kids are having their fun, parents can also take advantage of the numerous picnic tables and benches around the park. These are located just outside of the fenced area, but still provide a clear view of the play structures (so that you can keep a watchful eye on your little ones). The…
