6 Reasons having an agent on your side is essential in Colorado real estate

Let's be real - buying or selling a home in Colorado can be a headache. Largely because it's not something you do every day. In this market, it's even more essential that you have a knowledgable agent on your side.

From negotiation to marketing your home sale, a good realtor will provide value throughout the process. Our goal at Thomsen Real Estate is to make sure you are protected every step of the way. Getting you the absolute most from your home sale or purchase.

1. Expertise: Real estate can be a tricky field to navigate, but realtors are like maps with legs - they know all the ins and outs, and can guide you through the process with ease. Plus, they're experts in their local market, so they can give you the scoop on everything from pricing to zoning laws.

2. Access to the MLS and off-market listings: The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is like the holy grail for real estate. It's a database of all the homes for sale in a given area, and only realtors have the password. That means your home sale will reach the maximum number of eyes. With access to off-market inventory, your agent will give you access to properties that may never hit the MLS. This means they can help you find a wider range of options and get you into your dream home faster.

3. Marketing skills: Real estate agents are like the Michael Jordans of home sales - they know how to make a property shine and attract interested buyers. They can create killer listings, take professional photos, and use their networks to get the word out about your home. With Thomsen Real Estate our luxury listing package is included for all home sales, this includes photos, video, drone footage, a Matterport walkthrough, on premise print marketing (brochures and key feature highlight tags.

4. Negotiation skills: Buying or selling a home often involves a lot of back-and-forth, and a good realtor is like a tennis player with a PhD in negotiation. They can help you get the best possible deal and make sure you don't get taken for a ride. This is where an experienced agent is important. Which ever agent is more knowledgable and assertive, generally will get the better deal for their client.

5. Convenience: Working with a realtor is like having a personal assistant for your home sale. They handle all the nitty-gritty details, from scheduling showings to managing paperwork, so you can focus on more important things - like picking out your new living room furniture.
   ‍
6. Specialized knowledge: You don’t know, what you don’t know. If you’re working with a knowledgeable realtor - they will have seen hundreds of odd scenarios. This means if something goes wrong with your home sale or purchase, they will know what to do. They also won’t be able to be bullied around by the other listing or buyers agent, because they’ll understand what is truly important and what isn’t a big deal.
