1. Decide why you need to sell the house in the first place. There are many reasons for selling a home, but one of them is not “to move on with my life.” You may wish to sell simply because you no longer love the house or no longer want it. However, if finances contributed to your decision, we recommend that you talk with a financial adviser or accountant before making any rash decisions about selling your Colorado Springs home.
If money is one of the issues influencing your decision to sell a Colorado Springs home and move to another house, remember that there are many sources of equity available from banks and other lending institutions.
Stage
The job of a home stager is to ensure that a property is showing its best by giving buyers only what they are looking for and nothing else (even recessed lighting or an extra closet will distract from that). This makes staging particularly important when dealing with related tax issues because distractions provided by personal items linked to loved ones can be avoided in most cases. Most houses are also left full of “treasures” that homeowners couldn’t bring themselves to part with, causing clutter which can be overwhelming when trying to sell a house.
Sell Fast
The team at HBR Colorado understands that losing someone you love can be a challenging experience. In fact, most people don’t even think about selling their home following the death of a loved one because they are dealing with funeral arrangements and coping with grief themselves. However, after making these arrangements, it is important to sell your house as soon as possible before additional expenses arise and you lose more money than necessary trying to keep up with property taxes or mortgage payments. Selling your home quickly will allow you to have access to any remaining cash assets quicker and put them towards other financial priorities.
