Advertise on podcast: Denver Homes Market Report - Ricky Schoonover REALTOR

In this episode of The Denver Homes Market Report we talk about the importance of merchandising your home. How you may only get one or two showings a week and it's just as important as ever to be "Show Ready" I mean Lights! Camera! Action! for every single potential buyer walking through that door. We also talk about if your financial situation is feeling like you may be headed for some adversity, do not wait. Call Ricky Schoonover of 8z Real Estate right away. The sooner I get involved and can help you across some potentially turbulent waters? The more options we have. The longer we wait, the less leverage you have and sadly I've seen recently, a few potential clients fall into losing their homes when just a few months back, we had options. So, if you are looking to buy or sell your home, it's never too early to reach out and let's get you on the best glide path as possible.

In this episode, we first pitch my newest listing 1470 S. Quebec Way Unit 248 Denver Colorado. An amazing Townhouse coming to market this week. Then we dive into the recent On-line chatter you see where people post either that Realtors make too make too much money and that all we do is Open a door or plant an Open House Sign. Well, for some, that may be true. However, in todays episode, we cover some of the details that set me apart from most agents and some specifics which ONLY I can bring to the table.

In this episode we tackle 3 main points 1. Never too early to call me and get me helping you towards your goals of Buying or Selling your home. 2. If you're hiring a realtor to Open Doors or Post For Sale Signs? You're hiring the wrong Realtor 3. What's my home worth? If they tell you a number? They are either guessing or lying... so what's the correct question and subsequent answer?

In this episode we talk about the crazy HOA Members caught on camera screaming or otherwise throwing fits over what seem to be pretty minor infractions, if infractions at all. Not all HOA's are bad, in fact they can be run very well, protect property values and save you money.

In this episode we have so much to talk about. Halloween and Elections are now in the rearview mirror. The feds are meeting to decide a rate cut, right as we record this episode. The 25 basis is expected, but do not expect that to move our 30 year fixed rates right away. Look the the yields of the 10 year treasury bond market as a way to "read the tea leaves" on where we are headed. Inventory and absorption rates are the key to the current real estate market. I'm a firm believer "Buy or sell your home when the time is right for you" Trying to time the market is almost always less effective in your end result. This is not day trading, this is your home, your memories your future. Yes make the best of your investment but make those decisions from a holistic approach.

IN todays episode of The Denver Homes Market Report Podcast we expand on what agency means in the real world for both buyers and sellers. Well beyond "Opening a Door" or "Sticking a For Sale sign out front" When you think about what agency means to you, it's much more that those seemingly simple tasks which when you actually take a minute to think them through you quickly realize without a licensed agent who has more to lose than you realize the Real Estate market would lose trust with the public. When there is no trust in an industry, the values crumble. So, when you hear someone or see on social media "DUH, I can open my own door" or "UMM, I don't need a "Realtor" to put a sign out front" Of course, but that is not what you are hiring a Realtor for. There is so much more that goes into it. Even "opening a door" has huge risks and responsibilities. But let's discuss what you are really hiring me for and that is expertise in the current market, Helping ensure, whether you are a buyer? or Seller? You get fair and honest dealings no matter where the market might be at any given moment.

In todays episode, we talk about agency and what really happens when a Realtor tries to work both sides of a transaction. We also talk about interest rates and how rates are now in the 6% range and how buying a home get increasingly more expensive and competitive the lower the rates go.

In this episode we give a shout out to The Arts District on Santa Fe, an amazing non-profit ADSF, I encourage you to donate money or your time or both. We also give a shout out to great loan programs offered by Jaxzann Riggs of The Mortgage Network. We also highlight 3 different homes available. We have a condo at 215k, a modern townhouse at 740k and an exquisite mountian home in Evergreen offered at 1,250,000. Great information all around

In this episode, I finally break into the world of not just audio but also turn on the camera for a live look at me recording my podcast. We talk about timing and just how long it may take to get your home sold or your purchase completed and why proper planning may yield better results.

In this episode we promote the Arts District on Santa Fe. We also publically announce Local Realtor Ricky Schoonover of 8z Real Estate as the preferred Housing & Relocation Specialist For The University of Colorado. Then financial tools and hammers have more in common than you might guess

Tune in for insightful discussions and exciting updates!

In this episode we dicuss when selling your Denver home, create a competitive listing. Rather than looking at shrinking your buyer pool by listing from scarcity, list with abundance and increase your buyer pool to help ensure maximum exposure and Full Market Value. If you sell your home yourself? It will likely sell. However, you'll NEVER know what you may have lost by not selling your home professionally.

In this Season 4 Ep 10 of The Denver Homes Market Report we dicuss why that feel good sensation of telling the buyer's brokerage the buyer needs to pay for their own representation, that may give you that sorta "Stickin it to Tha Man" type mentality. However, when you limit the number of qualified buyers. You, as the seller might just be the one who get's stuck. You want to maximize the afforability of your home to more buyers, not less. Limiting your market may cause you to lose out on otherwise qualified buyers.

In this episode we discuss how the sellers are the ones getting hurt the most by not paying for the buyer's representation. We also talk about why the number one question I get at a listing appointment "Ricky, how much can you sell my house for" This question is mis-guided at best. The better question is "What would a reasonably educated buyer pay for my home?" There is only one person who sets the price when your home sells. It's the buyer.
