What We’ll Cover
01What it’s worth
02What it’s up against
03What to fix first
Born in Delta, back in the Grand Valley since 2010, and working with sellers from Loma to Palisade.
The Point of View
The market forms an opinion quickly.
Most price cuts trace back to the first price.Seller Note
Most buyer interest shows up in the first week or two on the market. If the price or the condition doesn’t hold up, buyers move on, and winning them back usually takes a price cut.
So the real work happens before the listing goes live: looking at what’s for sale near you right now, and figuring out which house a buyer would pick if they didn’t pick yours.
Worth Knowing
A buyer touring your home this weekend is probably touring two or three others. Those are the homes your price has to hold up against.

Feature Perspective
Where a house sits changes what it’s worth.
Two Mesa County homes with the same beds, baths and square footage can sell for very different prices. A Monument view, an irrigated lot or a short drive to Main Street is worth real money to the right buyer, and none of it shows up in a spreadsheet.
From the WorkshopTen years of building cabinets taught me that people notice the small things first. A sticking door or a loose handle costs little to fix and a lot to leave for a buyer to find.
The Seller Brief
Three things to settle before you list.
Get these right and most other decisions get easier.
Preparation
What to repair, clean or clear out before photos, and which projects aren’t worth the money.
Response
What we’ll do if showings are slow, if they don’t turn into offers, or if a strong offer arrives on day two.
Market Reality
What the first weekend is telling you.
A busy open house can still produce no offers, and a listing with few showings can still sell at a good price. Online saves, showing requests and agent feedback each mean something different, and I’ll walk you through them before we change anything.
Keep in MindDecide in advance what would make you adjust the price, so that call never gets made on a bad Tuesday.
