Is COhomefinder right for everyone?
Over the years, we have sought to make COhomefinder the perfect solution for anyone seeking to buy or sell real estate in Colorado. We think we have a great service. So do the hundreds of clients who have purchased or sold a home with us. However, we have also found that there are some types of buyers and sellers who prefer not to use our service. These include:
- Buyers who refuse to work with a Buyer’s Agent and prefer to do all of the work on their own. Considering that it doesn’t cost anything to use a Buyer’s Agent, we have never quite understood why anyone would not want to work with an expert. Nonetheless, there is a segment of buyers who prefer to waste hours upon hours scheduling showings and dealing with dozens of listing agents directly.
- Buyers who have unrealistic expectations of the market. On occasion, buyers will be disappointed with us because we cannot, for example, help them find a 3,000 square foot home in Cherry Hills Village for $100,000. Unfortunately, we can only help folks buy what is currently on the market. Differing prices across local real estate markets in Colorado may at times be a bit baffling, but the market is actually quite efficient, with prices being determined by supply and demand. As much as we would like to determine home prices, that is not something that we, or anyone else for that matter, has any direct control over. That said, many buyers who are new to the market may not be familiar with local pricing. If you are not familiar with real estate prices in Colorado, please call us at (800) 231-9153, and we would be more than happy to help you get a feel for the market.
- Sellers who want to sell their house themselves. We think For Sale by Owner (FSBO) is a viable choice for some homeowners, depending on many factors, including experience and comfort level of the homeowner with financial and legal transactions, current market conditions, and property type and condition. However, for sellers who would prefer to let an experienced professional handle the details and maximize the exposure of their home using http://www.COhomefinder.com, the most popular real estate website in Colorado with thousands of buyers, we think we offer a great solution.
