Plan of Action for Selling Your Home

1. Analyze why you are selling - If you understand your motives, you will be able to better negotiate and to get what it is that you want, whether it be a quick sale, high price, or somewhere in the middle.

2. Prepare your home for the buyer - Maximize the strengths of your property and fix up its weaknesses. You want the buyer to walk away from your home with a lasting good impression.

3. Find a good real estate agent that understands your needs - Make sure that your agent is loyal to you, and can negotiate to help you achieve your goals. In addition, they should be assertive and honest with both you and the buyer.

4. Be prepared for negotiation - Learn and understand your buyer’s situation; what are their motives? Can you demand a big deposit from them? Try to lock in the buyer so that the deal goes through.

5. Negotiate for the best price and the best terms - Learn how to counter offer to get maximum value from every offer.

6. Make sure the contract is accurate and complete - Be honest with your disclosures; you do not want to lose the deal because you were lying or diminishing your home’s defects. Insist the buyers get a professional inspection. This will protect both you and the buyer.

About The Author

A Colorado native going back three generations, Brian was born and raised in Littleton and has lived in Douglas County for over 20 years. He primarily serves his hometown, Littleton, and also serves Highlands Ranch, and Castle Rock.

Brian’s wife Sarah Grimm became licensed in 2003 and was his guide into the real estate industry. He started working as her unofficial assistant, giving him the chance to gain unique hands-on training in the field by being involved in the business, even if not in an official capacity. He learned the ins and outs of the job by creating marketing plans, meeting clients, and even installing open house signs.

In 2015, Brian and Sarah decided to become partners. Once licensed, they formed the boutique brokerage Luxe Living. Sarah served as Brian’s managing broker for three years while continuing his training. Unfortunately, Sarah had to step down to take care of her health, so Brian took over her former position as managing broker.

Brian’s favorite part of the job is assisting clients and agents alike. He takes pride in being a trusted guide to people experiencing a significant upheaval or transformative change. Brian is a communicative, supportive, caring, and hard-working professional who can simplify what can appear to be a complex process.

By giving his clients clarity, he empowers them to make crucial decisions with confidence. Brian does this by asking questions, spending time with his clients upfront to find out what their goals and motivating factors are to keep them on track. As a former electrician, Brian also offers years of residential construction experience. In 2020, Brain was awarded the 2 Carat Diamond Award by the South Metro Denver Realtor Association, and in 2021, was awarded the 3 Carat Diamond Award.

Living in the beautiful mountainside with his wife and adorable twin children, Brian loves the relaxed lifestyle, friendly people, and abundant outdoor activities. He enjoys spending time with his family, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, and snowboarding. During baseball season, you’ll often find Brian at the Coors field cheering on the Colorado Rockies.

Brian and his wife, a two-time cancer survivor, are passionate advocates for the Believe Big Organization and the American Cancer Society. They donate a portion of all of their transactions to these foundations.
