For safety reasons, make sure to depersonalize (pictures, valuables, etc.) when showing your home."Q: When is the best time to sell my home?A: NOW! Grand Junction, CO. made Housewire's top 10 list of markets projected to appreciate the most in 2019. Don't shy away from selling in the winter either. There is still a large amount of serious, quality buyers in the colder seasons.~Q: How do you determine how much my home is worth?A:  Comparables; area/subdivisions/adjustments. For example, if you have a 3 car garage on a street with 2 car garages that adds value or if you're comparing a 1/2 acre to 1/4 acre, etc.~Q: Can I check my homes worth online?A: There are online calculators, but that is a risky thing to do as it is not adjusted accordingly. It is all based on the data you have entered so it's not completely accurate (see question & answer above).~Q: What does it cost me to sell my home?A: With Coldwell Banker Distinctive Properties you are truly getting the best deal.
