Selling Your Steamboat Springs Home

Considering Doug to Sell Your Property...

If you are selling, you'll appreciate Doug’s 35 + years of real estate knowledge and experience, professional work ethic and personal care he delivers to every client. In an industry filled with people from a variety of backgrounds, it is rare to find a real estate broker who established their career as far back as 1983. That experience includes executive level disciplines in sales, marketing, construction and resort/project planning and development.

No one knows Steamboat Springs buyers better than Doug, and if you’re a seller, that’s very important! From 2000 to 2014 Doug was the Broker/Owner of Buyer’s Resource Real Estate of Steamboat, where he and his company dedicated their efforts on marketing their services to and working for buyers. For 15 years he was the only broker in town who focused his practice on serving the needs of Steamboat’s buyers…time that is invaluable when assisting sellers in positioning their properties in the Steamboat marketplace. After all, the primary reason you are hiring a broker is to find you a qualified buyer.

Doug’s office is known as "The Showroom" for Steamboat Springs area real estate. In the heart of downtown Steamboat Springs.  Consisting of over 2,200 square feet, it includes interactive displays, several high-tech galleries for visitors to easily search for properties and a resource library filled with market statistics, newsletters and listings. His office is designed specifically to attract buyers, making it the perfect place for a seller to have their property showcased!

Doug’s extensive real estate background, coupled with his downtown office designed to attract buyers, the support of the largest real estate brokerage in Steamboat Springs, and his affiliation with a real estate franchise recognized as providing the highest quality service in the industry, makes for a compelling collection of people and services for the successful sale of your real estate asset.

Are You Ready to Sell?

By answering these three questions you will have a better idea if you are truly a serious seller. “Serious sellers” net the most money at closing, have the least hassles and get their desired results in the shortest time.

Question #1: Why are you moving?
The more compelling your reasons, the more realistic you are apt to be about the realities of the Steamboat real estate market.

Question #2: What is your timetable for making the move?
Most sellers don’t get realistic about the realities of the marketplace until time is of the essence.

Question #3: Are you committed to move?
If you are not committed to moving within your stated time frame, you are likely to neglect doing the “little things” that would cause a top dollar - no hassle - timely sale.

*Remember, buyers are objective about price and value. They are shopping for the “best deal”. Serious sellers know this and respond by objectively pricing and marketing their homes.

Selling Tips Every Owner Should Consider

  1.     Do an honest, detailed "Seller's Disclosure". Check with your agent and/or attorney for details.
  2.     Offer a “Home Warranty/Protection Plan" to the buyer of your property. See "Home Warranty Policy Checklist... For Sellers".
  3.     Remove valuable personal property like jewelry, etc. before allowing your home to be shown.
  4.     Have a lock-box system placed on or by the front door. If this is impossible, have some other system to track who shows the property. Have all necessary inspections that can be done before buyers look at your property. Examples include, but are not limited to building codes, home inspections, title work, etc. This lessens the chance of you losing a buyer due to a surprise after accepting a contract.
  5.     Never show your property to someone who hasn’t been properly pre-qualified.
  6.     Hire a real estate agent/company to represent and guide you through the many details of the home selling process. See "Questions to Ask a Listing Agent".
