Selling
Selling a home in Aspen.
Preparation before pricing, then the right presentation and the Engel & Völkers network to place the property.
Preparation before pricing
The decisions made before a listing goes live do the most to set the price: what to fix, what to leave, and how the property should be presented. Autumn brings a design and restoration eye to that judgment, so money goes where buyers will notice it and nowhere else.
Pricing
Price comes from recent comparable sales, the listings a buyer will see alongside yours, and the specifics of the property: location, condition, views and what a buyer would expect to spend after closing.
Disclosures and costs
Colorado sellers normally complete a Seller's Property Disclosure and must disclose known material defects. In Aspen and Snowmass Village the transfer tax is paid by the buyer, not the seller. By custom, the seller usually pays for the buyer's owner's title insurance policy in Colorado, though that is negotiable.
Marketing
As an Engel & Völkers advisor, Autumn markets through the Engel & Völkers network of shops worldwide as well as locally in Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley. For second-home owners who are not in town, she coordinates access, preparation and showings.
Questions
Common questions.
How do I prepare my Aspen home for sale?
Start with preparation, not price. Decide what to fix, what to leave and how the property should be presented, so buyers see it at its best from the first showing. Autumn's design background is built for exactly this judgment.
How is an Aspen home priced?
From recent comparable sales, current competing listings and the specifics of the property itself: location, condition, views and what a buyer would need to spend after closing.
What disclosures does a Colorado seller make?
Colorado sellers normally complete a Seller's Property Disclosure, and must disclose known material defects. Radon test results and other known issues belong in it.
Who pays the Aspen transfer tax, the buyer or the seller?
The buyer. The City of Aspen states that transfer taxes are the responsibility of the purchasing party, and the Town of Snowmass Village likewise places its 1% tax on the purchaser.
Who pays for title insurance in Colorado?
By custom the seller usually pays for the buyer's owner's title policy in Colorado, but it is negotiable and set out in the contract.
How does Engel & Völkers market a property?
Through the Engel & Völkers network of shops worldwide, alongside local marketing in Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley, which puts a listing in front of buyers well beyond Colorado.
Can you help me sell a rental property or second home?
Yes. Many Aspen-area sellers are second-home owners. Autumn coordinates access, preparation and showings for owners who are not in town.
