In our current hot market, many sellers have asked me what they do if their home sells in a matter of days. In these situations, I always remind my clients that, under current market conditions, they have the control!

Since inventory is so low, getting into a great home is tough for buyers. This means sellers have the leverage to control the closing date or negotiate a rent-back agreement. We highly recommend that you don’t wait to list your home until you find a perfect house because sellers will want you to have already done that. In other words, take advantage of your position as a seller first before trying to find your dream home.

Another question we often get from sellers has to do with how soon they have to leave their home once they sell it. The typical contract takes about 35 days. While there are investors out there who will pay cash, which would result in a shorter closing time, this is rare enough that you should just plan on it taking at least 35 days. Of course, you do have post-closing occupancy options we can set up should you need the time.

One thing sellers are often curious about is what they have to do in order to make a sale happen. You’re probably much more critical of your house than I would be, so I can help by identifying the things you need to prioritize in order to get your home on the market. I can also bring in a professional stager to take some of the work off your plate and make your home shine. Additionally, we use a showing service that makes it easy to get people into your home; it’s also flexible enough to allow you to choose how often people come through.

If everything goes well, you will receive multiple offers on your home. This can be stressful and confusing, but it’s a good problem to have. We have a spreadsheet that compares up to ten offers side-by-side to determine what you net from each one. Of course, there are certain intangibles you need to look at too, like buyers who are willing to let you rent back should you need to. We will look closely at all of these things with you and give you the best possible advice so that you make an informed decision that is beneficial for you and your family.

If you have any questions about the selling process, or if you would like our assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We would love to hear from you!

Whether you’re a flipper, an investor, a builder, or a property manager, buying appliances can be a real drag. Today, Scott Mace is here to discuss the Bulk Appliance Purchase program, a great option if you are in a situation where you need to buy a handful of appliances at once.

The Bulk Appliance program allows housing manufacturers or builders to purchase bulk appliances at wholesale prices. It allows any combination of appliances, including refrigerators, microwaves, stoves, dishwashers, as well as washers and dryers.

This program is great for people who own rentals and property managers who have to replace appliances in properties every so often. If you’re going to be in the industry for some time, this could save you a lot of cash down the road. All you have to do is apply for a bulk account by reaching out to Scott. He will get you a quote and help you set up packages of exactly what you need. The process is pretty quick, as Scott can manage the packaging, the delivery, and the install because he is a certified project manager.

Instead of just having the stuff delivered to the garage, Scott and his team can install the appliances for you. There are many teams that don’t include these other services, but Scott’s certification as a project manager allows him to help with the entire process. This takes unnecessary stress off of the builder’s, the property manager’s, or the landlord’s shoulders, and allows them to focus on other aspects of their jobs. 

If you would like to reach out to Scott to get more details about the Bulk Appliance program, you can reach him as Scott@MaceCompanies.com or (303) 663-5977. Of course, if you need help on the real estate side of things, feel free to reach out to us at any time. We would love to hear from you!

Today, I have Jennifer Strauch with Classic Concrete Raising to discuss mudjacking. I’m sure you’re wondering what it is and why you might need it. I used this company seven years ago when I had a problem with my house.

Jennifer has been doing mudjacking in Colorado for 32 years and this is an alternative to breaking out and replacing sinking concrete. Mudjacking really can only help where concrete has sunken in. Mudjacking is not a structural issue for the property.

If your floors have sunk but your walls have not, then that is a sign that your problem is not a structural issue. Mudjacking is a unique process that raises concrete that has sunk from its once perfect levels back to its original state using high-grade, non-shrinking concrete mixtures. During this process, professionals will attempt to raise the slabs of concrete close to their original grade and alignment. 

The concept of mudjacking is very simple, but should still only be attempted by professionals. The process requires specialized equipment and takes a trained eye to get the job done just right.

This is a great alternative to foam jacking, and mudjacking is more environmentally friendly. Concrete slabs that have been created through foam jacking must be disposed of properly because of the chemicals involved.

If you have any further questions about mudjacking, or if you want to contact Jennifer, please don’t hesitate to contact me!
