I met Heidi through a business transaction a few years ago. She's a Boulder-based, commerical real estate broker and was the listing agent on a transaction where I represented the buyers. Heidi and I hit it off and she has become a good friend and a great resource for commercial real estate questions and referrals. Coincidentally, she also lives my little town of Erie, Colorado and we're both actively involved with the Erie Community Food Bank.
In October Heidi asked if I'd be interested in listing her home and I jumped at the chance! Heidi and her husband, John, were under contract on a new home (she represented herself) but they needed to get their current home listed and sold quickly.
Since Heidi is a REALTOR, she obviously could have listed her own home and handled the transaction herself. However, she wanted a local, residential expert who knew the market, how to price the home competitively and could get it sold quickly. She didn't want to deal with the headaches and stress of trying to sell her own home while dealing with her own commercial real estate business.
Lucky for me, Heidi and John were amazing sellers. Their house was in pristine condition and didn't need any cleaning, decluttering or staging. In addition, Heidi had already had her amazing photographer take pictures of her home.
Within a week, I had their home listed in both MLSs (Denver's REColorado and Northern Colorado's IRES), marketed it extensively on social media and around town, and hosted an open house that first weekend. Within a few days on the market we had an offer.
FUN FACT: The buyer who ended up buying it saw it thanks to my open house! Open houses DO WORK!
"We hired Sally because she is highly knowledgeable about the Erie market. She priced our home perfectly and got us under contract in no time, even with several competing properties in the same neighborhood. We are completely satisfied and highly recommend Sally!"
Thanks to my great sellers, the transaction went very smoothly and we closed in 4 weeks. It was such an honor for a fellow agent to have me represent her in a real estate transaction! Heidi and John are now enjoying life in their new home.
If you’re in the market to buy or sell, in Erie or anywhere along the front range, please give me a call! I’m here to help!
