Eavesdrop on Your Competition

Make sure those key areas like the kitchen are on par with other homes on the market. So drop in on open houses in your neighborhood.  Be on the look out for great, projects you can easily do to impress those potential buyers.

Remember: Summer is about the outdoors!

Oh how we Denver-ites love the outdoors. Creating attractive “summer” exterior features will make a difference. Update your landscaping, plant flowers and greenery, and beautify your deck or patio.  And of course taking your living outside a comfortable sitting area is a wonderful touch.

Don’t overlook the interiors!

But of course people are never sold on exterior features alone. So double-check your home’s indoors are in great condition. A trick we Denver real estate agents advise:  decorate your home with summer colors, open your windows and let that Colorado sunshine pour through your rooms.
