Tips for FEATURED PROPERTIES Savvy Sellers Great First & Last Impression! When your potential buyer gets a first look, is it welcoming? Make curb appeal a priority. Potted flowers on the porch and a clean front door are small things that have a big impact. Keep the lawn mowed and the yard clear. Give a buyer some- thing to admire while their Realtor opens that lock box. Imagine yourself as a poten- tial buyer walking into the house. What’s the first thing you notice? Create a focal point with flowers, plants, or a bowl of fruit to draw attention into the home. Perhaps you have a side table where brochures and recreation information can be displayed. Buyers almost always look back at a house as they leave – make that last view appealing.Fun Fact The Vogel Haus What real estate Absolutely stunning, custom luxury 6 bedroom, 4 full bath, 2 half bath home in the heart of board game became downtown Steamboat Springs.

Tips for Smart Buyers Utilities – Get the Scoop! Know about your water source. Wells and private water systems operate differently than a city water tap and often require extra attention from an owner. Be aware of your responsibilities and any potential problems. If you’re looking for rural prop- erty, remember to ask about water and mineral rights associated with the land. Identify how heat and electricity are provided throughout the house.
