7 Ways to Gain an Edge

  1. Speed Matters! Get in and do it quick.  If you find a home you like, be ready to make that offer!
  2. Pick an Experienced Agent. You’re already in the right place!  At Pagosa Brokers Real Estate we know our market.  Since 1982, we’ve provided what we like to call, ‘Legendary Service,’ and it’s still our commitment today.
  3. Be Prepared.  Know how much you want to spend, get pre-approved, find a reputable home inspector.  We’ll help guide you through this if it’s your first time, or you’re a veteran buyer.
  4. Get Pre-approved. Your mortgage lender will help find the right loan for your lifestyle, and can set up pre-approval.
  5. Expect Competition.  The market is tight!  With more buyers looking than there are homes on the market.  Be ready.
  6. Prepare your Down Payment.  Know how much you can put down to make the offer as attractive as possible for a home seller.  Don’t liquidate your savings!  Make sure you are within your comfort level.
  7. Patience Can Pay Off.  There are still homes that aren’t selling immediately.  Sellers may be willing to negotiate more if their home has been listed for awhile.  Plus many people who may have taken a listing down at the peak of the pandemic may re-list their properties soon.
