Like every good team, every member of the team must understand their responsibilities and their roles

The successful sale of a house requires good teamwork and communication between the homeowner and their Realtor. By following these easy steps, you can assist with the successful sale of your home:

Maintain your home in ready-to-show condition
Ensure that your home is easily accessible to real estate professionals (lock box and key)
Try to be flexible in the scheduling of showings
When you are not at home, let your Colorado Springs Realtor know how you can be reached in case an offer is received
If approached directly by a buyer who is not represented by a real estate professional, contact your Colorado Springs Realtor. Do not allow them into the property unescorted
Remove or lock up valuables, jewelry, cash and all prescription medications
If possible, do not be present when the property is being shown
Securely pen up pets, or take them with you
Be cautious about saying anything to buyers or their sales professionals that could weaken your negotiating position, especially regarding price or your urgency to sell
Collect the business cards of real estate professionals who preview and show your home, and pass them on to your Realtor

Let your Realtor know of any change in the property’s condition that would need to be disclosed to potential buyers

Be available to review with your Colorado Springs Realtor the list price and condition of your property if it has not sold in a reasonable period of time
