Use "The Vault" To Gain A Market Edge

 

Ok folks, let's do this again: The Boulder County real estate market is up in all categories compared to last year, and interest rates continue to be low. These conditions and lower inventory have created a very competitive market for buyers. Well-priced properties are moving quickly, and in some categories - especially single-family homes under $1 million - the buying competition is fierce.

 

Here at RE/MAX of Boulder - where we handle greater than 30% of overall sales for Boulder County - some 30% of our sales come together in house. We've developed a sophisticated new database to track and manage these opportunities called "The Vault." This in-house inventory enables our agents to connect buyers and sellers with homes that haven't even been listed yet. In addition, our agents meet every week, working as a team and discussing client needs and wants. It's a powerful approach that gives our clients an important edge. This is one of the reasons that RE/MAX of Boulder is ranked the #1 RE/MAX office in the country.

 

If you're a home buyer, this means you gain access to opportunities before the rest of the market does. Be sure to let me know what you're looking for - you might not ever see it on the Internet but the home of your dreams is out there and I'd love to help you find it. For sellers, finding a sincere buyer through these in-house channels can bring optimum pricing with the least amount of hassle. Call me any time to learn more.
