Running RE: Seller FAQs

What’s my home worth?

We’ll run a data-driven market analysis that looks beyond Zillow to evaluate recent sales, market trends, and your home’s unique features. We’ll walk your property together to see how it compares and help you land on a pricing strategy that attracts buyers while maximizing your return.

Do I need to make updates before selling?

Sometimes, small improvements can significantly increase your home’s value or reduce time on the market. We’ll help you identify which updates (paint, landscaping, minor repairs) will provide the best return and which aren’t necessary, so you don’t waste time or money.

How long will it take to sell?

Well-priced homes in Denver often go under contract within 1-3 weeks, but this can vary by season and location. We’ll review current market data so you have realistic expectations before listing.

What does it cost to sell my home?

You can expect to pay real estate commissions (typically 5-6% of the sale price), title fees, and your portion of closing costs. If you have a mortgage, that will also be paid off at closing. We’ll prepare a clear net sheet so you know what to expect and how much you will walk away with.

Should I stage my home?

Homes that are staged often sell faster and for more. Staging highlights your home’s best features and helps buyers visualize themselves in the space. We can advise on light staging, partial staging, or professional staging based on your home and goals.

Do I need professional photos?

100% Yes. Most buyers first see your home online, and professional photos (and video, when applicable) are key to making a strong first impression that gets buyers in the door.

Should I sell before buying my next home?

It depends on your financial comfort and the market. Some sellers prefer to sell first to avoid carrying two mortgages, while others buy first to secure their next home before moving. We’ll walk through your options so you can make a choice that feels right for your situation.

What if I get multiple offers?

We will review each offer together, considering price, contingencies, timelines, and buyer strength. It’s not always about the highest price. It’s about the strongest terms and the smoothest path to closing.

Will buyers ask for repairs?

Often, yes. After inspections, buyers may request repairs or credits for issues found. We’ll help you navigate what’s reasonable to address while protecting your bottom line and keeping your transaction on track.

How do you market my home?

We take a strategic approach to marketing, using professional photography, video, targeted social media advertising, agent networks, and listing services to get your home seen by serious buyers. We believe in actively marketing your home, not simply listing it and waiting.
