SPEAKER 02 : 0:00
Tron Simpson here with you on Legends 8, 10 a.m. and 95.3 FM. Once again, let us all travel into the real estate realm with Celia Zaharis of Colorado Home Realty, because she’s with us now. Celia, howdy.
SPEAKER 01 : 0:13
Howdy, Tron.
SPEAKER 02 : 0:14
How you doing?
SPEAKER 01 : 0:17
I’m doing well, thank you.
SPEAKER 02 : 0:18
I’ve been watching too much Gunsmoke, I’m sure of it. You know… Gunsmoke in those days, houses, you know, they weren’t really the houses that we see today. And when people were prepping to sell homes back then, it wasn’t a big deal. But today, if you want to sell your home for top dollar, Celia, you want that thing prepped, staged, curb appealed, the whole nine yards, maybe 10 yards, right?
SPEAKER 01 : 0:41
Exactly. Yep. As many things that you’re able to do as possible is the best route.
SPEAKER 02 : 0:47
It is. And financially feasible too, because that’s, here’s a cool thing about what you do, Celia and everybody listen to this. She will come to your property, your home and go through everything. She does a triage. She makes a list of things that need to be addressed immediately. And on it goes. But some of these things you can do, let’s just say on the cheap, if you have some guidance. Well, that’s where Celia comes in, in this particular area, because prepping is so important. We’ve discussed, I mean, there’s a lot of people out there looking for homes, but there are a lot of homes. So you want yours to stand out.
SPEAKER 01 : 1:17
Exactly. Yeah, it needs to stand out so that it doesn’t sit too long. Sometimes that’s difficult for people to sit through and keep their home ready for showings because it’s not normally how you would live. And there gets to be high anxiety if it’s sitting too long, and we just don’t want that to happen.
SPEAKER 02 : 1:38
No, you don’t. And it can be little things that mean a lot, as the song goes. I date myself. But it’s also interesting, Celia, that I’ve been wanting to ask you this. Is it important to have a fresh paint job on the home inside and out?
SPEAKER 01 : 1:52
I would say exterior if you need it, if it’s very visible from the curb side. It’s always nice to have a fresh coat of paint if you can do it. Interior, I highly recommend it. Yeah. You know, people like kind of a new, clean canvas to start their new life with. And if we can provide that, that’s really the best case scenario.
SPEAKER 02 : 2:15
And also that smell of fresh paint and all that, that’s kind of a newness smell. That plays heavily on the psychological aspect of a buyer. Absolutely. And by the way, I want to mention this to you seniors out there, 55 and older, and I’m in the group too, so I can make jokes, but I won’t. You have a friend in Celia Zaharis because she’s a senior real estate specialist. And quickly, just kind of develop that for a minute, if you would, Celia.
SPEAKER 01 : 2:38
Yeah. So the senior age group is 55 plus, and I really enjoy working with that group of people and And they just have different needs than the younger age. Exactly. We’re often finding that they’re empty nesters, that they have a wonderful home, but it’s just too big for them. The yard works too much. And they would really like to go off on the weekends or even during the week and do the things that they really enjoy or would like to learn something new. And they just feel bogged down or a heavy weight with this home on their shoulders that just doesn’t fit them.
SPEAKER 02 : 3:15
Yeah. And Celia will come in in that particular situation and help you guys, you seniors, you fellow seniors out there.
SPEAKER 01 : 3:20
Celia, what’s your phone number? Best number is 303-949-3107.
SPEAKER 02 : 3:28
Always appreciate you being on the air and she’s onsite at a property right now. So I’ll let you get back to it. Thanks for spending time with us again, Celia.
SPEAKER 01 : 3:35
Absolutely. My pleasure.
