PACKING TIPS
There are a lot of little things you can do when packing to help save yourself from a lot of stress. Here’s just a few!
PACK A MOVING SURVIVAL KIT
Aspirin
Coffee, filters, and coffee maker
Paper cups and plates, plastic utensils
Paper towels, toilet paper, soap
Water, sunglasses and chapstick, no matter the season – stay hydrayed in Colorado!
PACKING HACKS
Keep jewelry, important papers or medications with you
Label boxes as you pack them with content and desired room location
Leave lamps, china and artwork or breakables for movers to pack
Pack heavy items in small boxes.
Do not over-stuff boxes; leave some extra room at the top
Tape cords underneath all electrical appliances
Wrap breakables in newspaper, bubble wrap, clothes or towel
Use RED packing tape for critical boxes you want to unpack first
Put plastic wrap over drawers so you don’t have to empty out their contents.
Pack plates vertically so they’re less likely to break. Make sure you wrap them well!
Don’t take clothes off their hangers. Move them in bunches in garbage bags still on the hangers. Easy and way cheaper than wardrobe boxes.
Color code each box according to room so you can identify what needs to go where in a glance.
Add some padding to your boxes. Plastic grocery bags are great for cushioning your breakables. Don’t leave room at the top without padding because otherwise they may get crushed.
Remember to mark boxes with breakables as fragile. Whether you’ve hired movers or are doing it yourself, you don’t want someone to be too rough with those boxes.
Cut triangles in boxes about 1/3 of the way down to create handles for easy carrying

Why Use a REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL
As of October 2023, across the United States, the median selling price for homes listed as For Sale By Owner (FSBO) was $225,000, while agent-assisted home sales commanded a significantly higher median price of $330,000. This substantial difference of $105,000 emphasizes the value that real estate professionals bring to the selling process.
Moreover, the 2022 National Association of REALTORS® Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers reveals that 86% of sellers were assisted by a real estate agent when selling their home. These sellers typically sold their homes for 100% of the listing price, with only 38% reporting a reduction in the asking price at least once. The typical home sold was on the market for a mere 2 weeks.
In an era where technology plays a significant role, it’s noteworthy that 86% of buyers still chose to purchase their homes through a real estate agent or broker, reinforcing the national trend. Additionally, 51% of buyers found their homes through internet searches, underscoring the continued importance of real estate professionals in navigating the complex housing market.
Furthermore, as of October 2023, NAR reports a membership of 1,578,077, reflecting the continued trust and reliance on real estate professionals across the entire United States.
In conclusion, while technological advancements have shaped the real estate landscape, the expertise and guidance of a real estate professional remain integral to successful and lucrative home transactions nationwide, including states with robust real estate markets where average prices, like in Colorado, are often even higher.
What every BUYER
should KNOW
Property taxes and qualified home interest are deductible on an individual’s federal income tax return in most cases.
Many times, a home is the largest asset an individual has and is considered one of the safest investments available.
A homeowner can exclude up to $500,000 of capital gains if married filing jointly or up to $250,000 if single or married filing separately. The home must have been the taxpayer’s principal residence for two of the last five years.
A portion of each amortized mortgage payment goes toward the principal, which is an investment.
A home is one of the few investments you can enjoy by living in it!
The majority of the time, a REALTOR® can show you any home, whether it is listed with a company or a builder or is even a For Sale By Owner.
Working with a REALTOR® to purchase a For Sale By Owner property is very advantageous, because someone will be looking out for your best interests.
Getting pre-qualified by a mortgage company will actually approve you for a specific loan amount subject to the property. This will give you confidence and will help when negotiating with the seller.
The right to conduct a property inspection, included in your purchase agreement, gives you the ability to negotiate with the seller once you know all the facts about the property’s condition.
In a “seller’s market,” don’t go looking for a deal. Set your sights on the right house for you, and then let your REALTOR help you negotiate the best price and terms.
