ALL REAL ESTATE LICENSEES ARE NOT THE SAME.
All of our Madison agents are required to be licensed members of the National
Association of REALTORS®, which holds its members to a strict code of ethics
and professional standards. So why use a REALTOR® vs an agent?
Strict Code of Ethics.
Every REALTOR® must adhere to a strict code of ethics, which is based on professionalism and
protection of the public. As a REALTOR’S® client, you can expect honest and ethical treatment in
all transaction-related matters.
Up-To-Date Experience.
Most people sell only a few homes in a lifetime, usually with quite a few years in between each
sale. Even if you’ve done it before, laws and regulations change. REALTORS® handle hundreds of
transactions over the course of their career.
An Expert Guide.
Selling a home usually requires dozens of forms, reports, disclosures, and other technical documents.
A knowledgeable expert will help you prepare the best deal and avoid delays or costly mistakes.
There’s also a lot of jargon involved, so you’ll want to work with a professional who can speak
the language.
Your Rock During Emotional Moments.
A home is so much more than four walls and a roof. For most people, property represents the
biggest purchase they’ll ever make. Having a concerned, but objective, third party helps you stay
focused on the issues most important to you. There are many factors to consider when buying or
selling a home and a REALTOR® can offer invaluable insight - insight that may save you a great
deal of money - or save you from a terrible mistake. Real estate transactions can be complex; a
REALTOR® can make a difference.

SELLING PROCESS
PRE-LISTING PREPARATION
INSIDE YOUR HOME
Clean the house thoroughly. Keep it that way while selling. Shine the appliances, vacuum or shampoo the
carpet, polish the floors. Get dust, flies, and moths out of light fixtures. Clean the windows outside and inside.
Remove clutter from your home. Keep your kitchen spotless. Remove unnecessary items from the countertops.
Move clothes out of your closets so they do not appear full or busting at the seams. Remove extra furniture
and pictures from the room.
Remove personal items that are conspicuous. You want to show off the house, not yourself. These tips will
visually expand the rooms in your home.
Get rid of offensive odors. Eliminate the smell of dogs, cats, kids, spicy food, etc. Odors are always noticed
and difficult to explain away.
Fix or repair items that are not in perfect working order. Oftentimes an inexpensive repair job will leave
questions in a buyer’s mind. Some quick fixes could include:
Tighten and repair loose knobs, sticky doors, and windows.
Repair light switches that do not work.
Repair caulking and grout in the bathroom. Fix leaky faucets.
Replace burned-out light bulbs.
Consider repainting - a fresh coat of neutral paint enhances the decorating detail of a home. Paint smells
clean. Paint or touch up all interior trim.
While your house is being shown, leave. Take a walk - leave the clients with the agent. Don’t interfere with the
agent as this could possibly hurt the selling opportunity.
If the house is somewhat vacant, staging appropriately can create a dramatic emotional statement. Your
Madison broker can offer recommendations and arrange for professional staging companies to stage your
home. National Association of REALTORS® states that 32% of buyers agents believe staged homes increase
the dollar value buyers are willing to offer by 1-5% compared to similar homes that were not staged.
OUTSIDE YOUR HOME
First impressions are crucial. Clean the front yard: trim the shrubs, weed the flower beds, mow the lawn, rake
the leave, and sweep the walkways.
Plant some flowers in flower beds or pots that are in season to liven up the appearance.
Straighten gutters, planters, mailbox, or things that sag or tilt.
Close the garage door. Hide the garbage cans. Remove extra cars.

SELLING PROCESS
WHY PRICING IS SO IMPORTANT
Setting the correct initial list price is one of the most important decisions that home sellers make in
today’s market. The initial list price will impact both the amount of time a property takes to sell and the
final sale price. Research shows that when a house is overpriced upon the first day of its listing, and
subsequently requires price reductions, it will take up to three times longer to sell that house in the
Denver market compared to a house that’s priced right from the start.
Sellers will benefit from the professional advice of a REALTOR® when it comes to effectively pricing a
property and understanding today’s market trends. A knowledgeable and skilled REALTOR® will offer
expertise and guide customers through today’s complicated process.
At Madison & Company Properties, we have developed specialized tools to help you properly price
your property. We can give you up-to-the-minute information about the Denver Metro real estate
market, including specifics about what is happening in your neighborhood.
THE COMPARATIVE MARKET ANALYSIS (CMA)
How much is your home worth? Should you ask for more? How long will it take to sell? Your Madison
REALTOR® can provide the answers to these and many other questions by completing a Comparative
Market Analysis (CMA), which takes into account all the variables that may affect the value and
marketability of your home.
COMPARABLE PROPERTY DATA
Research of similar homes currently on the market, as well as recent sales and expired listings, help
determine your home’s fair market value.
MARKET CONDITIONS AND COMPETITION
Economic outlook and seasonal trends, as well as the
number of competitive homes on the market, can affect
demand for your home.
MORTGAGE CONDITIONS
AND OUTLOOK
Interest rates and anticipated movement up or down
affect the size of your prospect pool.
LOCATION
Proximity to schools, parks, shopping, and transit can
play a significant role in determining your listing price.

SELLING PROCESS
GETTING YOUR HOME READY TO HIT THE MARKET
BROKER DUTIES
PAPERWORK
When listing your home, there are a few documents that need to be executed before your home goes
on the market. Some of these documents are between you and your Madison REALTOR®, others are
disclosures you will need to fill out in regards to the condition of your home. It is imperative to have a
clear understanding of listing terms, price, and condition of your home for potential buyers. A few of
these documents are listed below:
Listing Agreement
Square Footage Disclosure
Seller’s Property Disclosure
Lead Based Paint (if applicable)
Closing Instructions
Source of Water
Definitions of Working Relationships
Wire Fraud
1. PHOTOS
Professional photos will be scheduled
prior to putting your home on the
market. You are more than welcome to
join in on the photoshoot!
2. MARKETING
We will usually receive the photos
within 24 hours. From there we send
photo to our in-house marketing
team who can create professional
brochures, flyers, and postcards.
3. SIGN
Our Madison & Co Properties For Sale
sign will be placed in your yard. Your
REALTORS® phone number and email
is displayed on the sign, making it easy
for potential buyers to contact us.
4. MLS / RECOLORADO
Last step is getting your home on the
MLS where brokers and buyers are able
to view your home and set up showings.
Showings begin!

SELLING PROCESS
HELPFUL DOCUMENTS
Once you go under contract on your home, it is very important to have information regarding your
home ready to go in case the buyer or lender requests it. This process moves very fast in some cases, so
it is better to be prepared than scrambling at the end for warranties or receipts. We have included a list
of items that buyers, lenders, and title companies might request during this phase of selling your home.
SELLER CHECKLIST
Gather all manuals for appliances
Receipts of work done to the home - including all major and minor
renovations
Start to locate all keys and garage door openers
Floorplans or surveys done previously
A list of utility providers and the average cost per month for summer
and winter months
Alarm or smart technology instructions available
HOA Communities:
Check with the HOA to see if there are any restrictions or
policies when listing your condo/townhome
If you have any known information regarding
assessments, certification letters, or HOA covenants,
please have those available for the buyers
Make sure to take down or put away anything of
importance or value, as people will be walking through
your home without you there.

PHOTOGRAPHY
You only get one chance to make a first impression, and this has never been truer than in real estate.

ON THE MARKET & CLOSINGS

ON THE MARKET
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE ACTIVE
SHOWINGS
Once we list your home, brokers and their buyers gain access by calling
into a showing service. At Madison & Company Properties we use
ShowingTime. This full service showing database makes it the quickest
and most efficient way to get buyers in your home.
Showings can be set 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
Showing requests can be sent to your smart phone;
giving you the control to approve or decline showings
SHOWING FEEDBACK
Through ShowingTime, your Madison REALTOR®
sends out an email immediately after the showing
to receive feedback from the buyer’s agent. The
feedback is imperative especially if you are curious
to why your home is not selling as quickly as you
might have imagined.
VIRTUAL TOUR
Another way to get insights on your home is
through the virtual tour that is created by the
photographer that took pictures on your home.
How many people clicked on your listing
How long people stayed on your
property website

UNDER CONTRACT
NEXT STEPS WHEN YOU ARE UNDER CONTRACT
OFFER ACCEPTED
Now that you have decided on an offer, it is time to start the under contract process. There
are a few dates and deadlines to be aware of - title deadline, due diligence, inspection
(including ILC’s and surveys), appraisal, and loan conditions. Remember where we asked
you to gather documents on your pre-listing preparation? This is where those may come in
handy and help move this process along a little more smoothly. The under contract process
can take anywhere from 30, 45, to 60 days.
INSPECTION
One of the most crucial steps in buying a home is performing an inspection. The buyers
elect to do this if they so choose. The buyer’s agent will set up a day and time that works
for you to have the inspector perform a full inspection of your home. It is best not to be
present during this time. It should take anywhere from 1-5 hours, depending on the size of
your home and how many inspections the buyer is requesting. After inspection, the buyers
agent will send an inspection objection requesting specific repairs or replacements, if
needed. At this time you can decide which items you agree to fix, repair, or replace (if any)
on the inspection resolution.
Remember, inspection items should be left to things that affect health and safety.
APPRAISAL
An appraisal will be required by the lender if the buyer is obtaining a loan. The appraisal is
to determine at which amount the bank will provide a loan. It is your agents responsibility
to meet the appraiser at your home to show where they came up with the listing price.
This can be explained by providing a list of comparable properties that sold of a similar
amount, a list of showings and offers that were received, etc. The appraisal could come
in low, high, or at value. Your Madison agent will guide you through this process if the
appraisal comes in low. After the appraisal, we wait for loan conditions deadline and then
you are that much closer to the closing table.
1
2
3 4
LOAN MONITORING
By the loan termination deadline date, the loan needs to be satisfactory in the buyer’s
subjective discretion. Specifically “contract is conditional upon buyer determining, in
buyer’s subjective discretion, that the availability, terms, conditions, and cost of such new
loan are satisfactory to buyer.” By that date, if the buyer does not approve of the loan, they
must deliver “written notice to seller to terminate the contract.”

THE TERMS
UNDERSTANDING AGENCY TERMS
LISTING AGENT
A seller’s agent (or listing agent) works solely on behalf of the seller to promote the interests of the
seller with the utmost good faith, loyalty, and fidelity. The agent negotiates on behalf of and acts as an
advocate for the seller. The seller’s agent must disclose to potential buyers all adverse material facts
actually known by the seller’s agent about the property. A separate written listing agreement is required
which sets forth the duties and obligations of the broker and the seller.
BUYER’S AGENT
A buyer’s agent works solely on behalf of the buyer to promote the interests of the buyer with the
utmost good faith, loyalty, and fidelity. The agent negotiates on behalf of and acts as an advocate for
the buyer. The buyer’s agent must disclose to potential sellers all adverse material facts actually known
by the buyer’s agent including the buyer’s financial ability to perform the terms of the transaction and,
if a residential property, whether the buyer intends to occupy the property. A separate written buyer
agency agreement is required which sets forth the duties and obligations of the broker and the buyer.
TRANSACTION-BROKER
A transaction-broker assists the buyer or seller or both throughout a real estate transaction by
performing terms of any written or oral agreement, fully informing the parties, presenting all offers
and assisting the parties with any contracts, including the closing of the transaction without being an
agent or advocate for any of the parties. A transaction-broker must use reasonable skill and care in the
performance of any oral or written agreement and must make the same disclosures as agents about
all adverse material facts actually known by the transaction-broker concerning a property or a buyer’s
financial ability to perform the terms of a transaction and, if a residential property, whether the buyer
intends to occupy the property. No written agreement is required.
CUSTOMER
A customer is a party to a real estate
transaction with whom the broker has no
brokerage relationship because such party
has not engaged or employed the broker,
either as the party’s agent or as the party’s
transaction-broker.
