Step 1
The Bird's Eye View
Starting Your Selling Journey
Prepare Your Home
We’ll assess your home and suggest improvements or staging to maximize its appeal to potential buyers.
Price Your Home Right
Using a detailed Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), we’ll set the perfect price to attract the right buyers without leaving money on the table.
Partner with Erin Rose
Leverage my 17 years of real estate expertise to ensure a smooth selling process. I'll guide you through pricing, marketing, and negotiations.
Professional Photography
We’ll capture high-quality photos and videos, including virtual tours, to highlight your home’s best features and attract
serious buyers.
Marketing Your Home
Online Exposure
Your home will be listed on top real estate websites, shared across social media, and marketed to my extensive network to maximize visibility.
Host Showings & Open Houses
We’ll schedule private showings and open houses, making sure potential buyers can easily see your home at its best.
Targeted Ads
We’ll run social media and digital advertising campaigns to reach the right buyers and generate interest quickly.
Offers & Negotiations
Receive Offers
When the offers roll in, I’ll review each one with you, considering the terms and contingencies to find the best deal for you.
Counter Offers
If needed, I’ll handle negotiations and counter offers to ensure we’re securing the best price and terms for your sale.
Data-Driven Decisions
We’ll use market data to ensure every offer is evaluated carefully so you make the most informed decisions.
Navigating the Inspection Process
Inspections Clear
If the inspection goes smoothly, you’re one step closer to closing! We’ll stay on track and prepare for the next phase.
️ Inspection Objections
If issues arise during the inspection, I’ll help negotiate repairs, credits, or price reductions to protect your bottom line.
Title Work & Closing
Clear Title
We’ll work with the title company to ensure there are no issues with the title, so we can proceed without delays.
Title Objections
If there are any title discrepancies (e.g., liens or boundary issues), we’ll resolve them before proceeding.
Final Stages Before Closing
Finalizing the Sale
Once your buyer’s financing is secure, we’ll finalize the sale details, ensuring all paperwork is in order for a smooth
closing.
Review Closing Docs
We’ll carefully review the Closing Disclosure and Settlement Statement so you understand the final details before signing.
Closing & Beyond
Final Walk-Through
The buyer will do their final walk-through to confirm the property is in the agreed-upon condition, and then we’re ready for closing.
Closing Day
Sign the final documents, transfer ownership, and we’ll officially close the sale!
Funds Transfer
Once the closing is complete, you’ll receive the proceeds from your sale—time to celebrate!
Optional: Post-Closing Occupancy
If the buyer requests to rent back the property for a period of time, I’ll handle the terms of the agreement to ensure a smooth transition for both parties.
Why Work with Erin Rose?
Choosing the right agent isn’t just about signing paperwork—it’s about gaining a trusted partner who guides you
every step of the way. Here’s how I bring value to your home‑buying journey:
Market Expertise & Insights
With 17 years in Colorado real estate, I know Denver’s neighborhoods inside and out—price trends, hidden gems, school districts, walkability factors, and even air‑quality quirks.
Tailored Search & Negotiation Strategy
I build a custom MLS feed tailored to your exact criteria, conduct in-depth neighborhood analyses, and craft offers that stand out. My “addendum magic” and CMA‑driven pricing tactics help you win without overpaying.
White‑Glove Client Experience
From personalized video tours to 24/7 text support, I handle the details—coordinating with lenders and title companies, and resolving any issues—so you can focus on planning your move.
Skilled Negotiator & Advocate
Whether it’s inspection repairs, appraisal gaps, or surprise HOA issues, I’m in your corner. My goal is to protect your interests, maximize concessions, and keep the process as stress-free as possible.
Education & Transparency
You’ll always know “why” behind every recommendation. I demystify contracts, explain costs, and walk you through each document—no jargon, no surprises.
For Example: How Do Commissions Work?
Typical Commission Structure
In Colorado, the seller generally pays a percentage commission of the sale price. That fee can then be divided between the seller’s agent (listing broker) and the buyer’s agent (my brokerage). If the seller elects not to pay the buyer's commission from the proceeds, that's not a problem; you'll need to discuss with your lender the provision for paying that percentage separately at closing.
No Up‑Front Cost to You
As a buyer, you usually don’t 'write a commission check'—but beware the semantics. Your agent’s fee typically comes out of the seller’s proceeds at closing (which you are offering in exchange for the property), so ultimately, you pay the agent by way of the purchase price. The 'how' and 'how much' are negotiable, and while agents have established fees, there is no law stating agents are entitled to any set percentage.
Aligned Incentives
I earn a commission instead of a salary and only make my living when I successfully serve your real estate goals. That means I’m fully incentivized to negotiate the best price, terms, and protections on your behalf.
Got questions?
I'm happy to be transparent and answer all of them :)
Step 3
Get Pre-Qualified or Pre-Approved
Your next step is to hop on a quick call with me to chat about mortgage pre‑approval or to pick the lender who fits your goals—and once you’re pre‑approved, I’ll roll out a tailor‑made home‑hunting plan and personally guide you through the best listings in your price range. Let’s get you cleared to shop so we can start touring dream homes together!
Sign the Exclusive Right to Sell Contract
The Exclusive Right to Sell Contract is the most common agreement used when listing your home for sale. Here’s what it means for you:
Exclusive Agreement
By signing this contract, you give me, as your listing agent, the exclusive right to sell your home. This means I’ll be the only agent authorized to market and sell your property. You won’t be able to work with other agents during this period, but I will be fully committed to getting your home sold.
Contract Duration
This agreement typically lasts for a set period—often 3 to 6 months—but we can choose a time frame that works best for you. If your home hasn’t sold by the end of the term, we can discuss next steps or renew the agreement.
Commission
As part of the contract, I’ll earn a commission (which we’ll agree on upfront) if the home sells during the contract period. This commission is paid at closing and is typically split between my brokerage and the buyer's agent.
Why It's in Your Best Interest
This contract ensures that I have the full incentive to invest time, resources, and energy into selling your home, because I only get paid when the sale is successful. It also guarantees that I will be working exclusively on your behalf, managing every aspect of the sale, from marketing to negotiations.
