8 New Laws to Sell Your Home for 11% More – 11 Trade Up Mistakes – How to Sell and Buy a House

Trade-Up Mistakes: How to Sell and Buy a House

In this robust Real Estate market many home buyers fear their home will sell their home so fast and they have not yet found their next home. This video is about How to Sell and Buy a House at the Same Time and some Costly Home Sellers Mistakes when moving up to another home.

#1 Costly Mistake – Failing to Make the Necessary Improvement to motivate a buyer to purchase the home. Most buyers expect their homes to be move-in ready. That means it’s time to neutralize the paint, replace that tired stained carpet, update the kitchen appliances and make sure your curb appeal is great.

#2 Costly Mistake – Falling in LOVE with your next home and being financially ready to buy it.

It’s so exciting to start shopping for new home.

If you need your money from the sale of your home to buy your next home, there are several options:

a) Bridge Loan

b) There are also loans that allow what is called a “Re-Cast” What that means is you can buy your next home first. Then when your house sells later, you can take the money, pay down your new mortgage without refinancing for a very small fee under $200.

c) Find Financing with a Very Low-Down Payment

d) Even borrowings from retirement could work with no tax liability if you replenish the money with 90 days.

e) Get Your House Under Contract first, will put you in a stronger position if you have to sell first to buy your next home.

#3 The biggest Real Estate Catch 22 is a buyer who has a home to sell when home sellers want a firm offer. There are many great financing options we can share that solve this problem along with our guaranteed sale.

Barb was great to work with; she returned calls and responded to texts and emails promptly, took care of a broken door lock, and kept on eye on our property after we had moved out of state. She also provided an inflatable mattress when she found out my husband was sleeping on the floor. We would recommend Barb to anyone wanting to sell their property.

Laura Rathke

This was, by far the best experience we have ever had selling a home. We decided to move back closer to family and needed to sell our mountain home in Crystal Park. Barb and her team were amazing and made the entire process so easy. She sold our home in just a few weeks for top dollar while we were away much of the time. We highly recommend Barb Schlinker and her entire Team!

David and Rumiko Porter

As a busy professional living in Denver, I had very little time to deal with selling my rental townhome. Barb and her team took care of everything, met the former tenant to turn over the property, took care of repairs, installed attractive staging furniture, took great photos and the results were excellent! She sold my townhome in a very short time at a full asking price. I closed remotely without even visiting the property. I highly recommend Barb Schlinker.

We hired Barb to sell our home in Calhan. We got several great offers and it sold for $15,000 over our asking price in just 5 days. Having formerly been a Real Estate agent, it was so refreshing to have a great agent like Barb who fought for us all the way to closing. She was so helpful and professional. Barb was always available when we needed anything or had questions. We highly recommend using Barb Schlinker to sell your home.

Paul & Sandi Billig

We know many real estate agents and our experience with Barb Schlinker is by far the best! She is very personable and professional. True to her commitment, she and her team were always very responsive and timely in answering any questions or concerns we had. She not only commanded 10 offers in a weakening real estate market but she was able to help us negotiate for the top dollar and get the most money for our Mom's home. Pete & Irene

This is the only real estate company I would use. Barb’s expertise in unrivaled. Very personal and professional service.

Sally Redd

Barb has such great reviews online, I knew she was the right choice for me. She was so helpful and patient helping us get ready on our pace, helping plan our move and best of all she quickly sold the home for $50,000 over asking price in just a few days. Her team took care of all the final details for me, including re-purposing things I did not need so I could easily move to my next home.

Deborah Christian

Barbara Schlinker to her team was very helpful and easy to work with.

Kirk Buker

I am very pleased with Mrs. Barbara and Mrs. Wendy. They went ALL out their way every day to make our home selling process less stressful. They were a pleasure to work with and became family instead of a business move. Furthermore, being in the Air-Force I didn’t have much time to relocate and they made it a breeze for my family and I. If I ever come back to Colorado to live. I will call them back with NO hesitation. Thank you ALL for what you have done. I have already recommended EVERYONE on Peterson AFB to Mrs. Barbara and her team. They will go out their way and beyond to make you happy. If I could give more than a 5 star rating .. I definitely would. God Bless !!!!!!

Beth Lewis

We heard about Barb on the radio and asked her to help us sell mine and my Mom’s home next door. She helped us prepare our homes for sale so they showed really well. Barb had at least 80 people in at the Open House and both homes sold for way over asking price in just a few days. Her team helped with the entire process and we were able to make our next move as scheduled.

Barb Schlinker and Wendy are the two best real estate agents I have ever had in buying and selling a home in my life. Their careful attention to detail, professionalism, exactness, timing, listening to my personal needs and wants. They have respected my needs & wishes in every way. I will always will recommend them to my friends and family members. And I will always trust their care with them.

Barb sold our home in just 1 weekend for $40,000 over asking price, setting a new high sales price for similar sized Summerfield at Briargate homes. The entire experience from start to finish was great! We highly recommend using Barb Schlinker and her team to sell your home” Harry and Nancy

Harry Prantl

After another broker missed the entire selling season by moving too slow, we hired Barb and she quickly helped us get the home on the market and looking great! It sold for over asking price in just 10 days. Barb and her team took care of all the details and the closing were very smooth and easy.

5183 Solar Ridge – Steve & June Hales

I have been a regular listener to Barbs radio show for years. Before I met her, she made it easy to prepare me for the sale because of her radio show on KVOR. Barb then recommended a higher price than I expected on the home and went on to sell it for a whopping $100,000 over price. Her and her team handled all the details and make the closing go very smoothly." In addition, the house that I am purchasing, had a safety issue. Barb volunteered to step up and help out with it. I greatly appreciate her help.

James Collier

It was time for us to sell the inherited home our parents had owned and the home we grew up in. It was a challenge for us since we all lived in different locations out of town. We hired Barb and her team to sell our home and she sold it in a few weeks for full asking price and it closed on time. They handled everything for us. We did not have to return to visit the property or even attend the closing. We highly recommend Barb and her team.

Barb is calmly confident and competent. Her knowledge of her craft is very impressive. We have sold two houses using her services, and I can assure anyone wishing to sell their property, they will be impressed and happy with the process and the results if they use Barb as their real estate agent.

Frank Steyaert

Barb and her team were very easy to work with. They did an awesome job! We were under the gun for getting our house sold quickly, and Barb did just that. We got an offer after just one open house! Thanks again, Barb, for all your hard work and assistance. You and your team are amazing!

J. D. R. Hawkins

We are so pleased that we worked with Barb Schlinker to sell our home at 1450 Masters Drive in Woodland Park. Barb and her team go to great lengths to ensure the home is presented to the market in such a way to command top dollar for the home. From the elegant video production, great photos and beautiful pictures, it all went very well. Barb was able to negotiate for us to stay in the home well after closing allowing us to move to our next location at a comfortable pace. This was our second time using Barb to help us sell a home and the experience was top notch. You do not need to look further to find the best realtor for your need to sell or but a home. Dean and Diane

Selling our home with the Barb Schlinker Team is the best experience we could have hoped for. Our home sold for $70,000 over asking price the first weekend, then she reached out to help us with information to purchase our next home. We highly recommend using Barb and her team to sell your home in the Colorado Springs area. Patrick & Insuk

Patrick Phillips

Barb is very professional, honest and reliable. She has sold two houses for us and exceeded our expectations each time. I have found that I can rely on her completely for all aspects of the paperwork/documents that selling or buying a house entails. Both of our houses sold within days of being listed with Barb. She does an excellent job of marketing and promotion.

Mike Corbett

Barb was able to sell our home for over asking price and make sure everything went well. She provides so many extra services like cleaning and handling little repairs to ensure we got the home sold. She even covered the expenses in advance for a small area of fresh carpet to ensure the buyers would be delighted to pay full price for the home. All the way through the process we received support from Barbs team from making sure the home was ready for showings as well as communicating issues that came up. In the end, Barb was able to get us over $5000 more than expected and we are delighted it is sold and completed.

Larry & Kathy

We talked to several agents but it was clear Barb has the best marketing to get us the most money. Best of all....she sold our home for at $30,000 over what the other agents said it was worth. We moved out and left the home in her hands. Barb and her team were amazing and we did not have to worry about anything. While we were enjoying family in another state, Barb's team sold our home and it closed in just 3 weeks! We highly recommend Barb and her team!

Dennis and Angie Snyder

We have sold 3 homes and working with Barb Schlinker was by far the best experience. We previously tried another agent who failed to get many showings and only provided weak offers that would not work. We are so glad we made the switch. From the very beginning, we could tell Barb's process for selling homes is far superior to any other agent's work. Not only did she help us show our home and attract more buyers than ever before. But it sold quickly for top dollar. We could not have asked for a better real estate experience. We so appreciated Barb's hands-on care and attention to detail that included careful measurements, highlighting the home's best features and a very organized system that resulted in a quick sale with the least amount of hassle.

By the time I put my home on the market, I was already moving to another state. Barb not only sold my Peyton home for $40,000 over asking price. But it was a great comfort for me to know that Barb and her team handled all the things that needed to be done to close the sale including managing some needed repairs. I highly recommend The Barb Schlinker Team to sell your home." Jessica

Jessica Montoya

Barb Schlinker and her team did such an amazing job selling our home on Del Rey Dr in Colorado Springs. Our sweet dog, Koussie, physically could not tolerate agents offering multiple showings, so Barb arranged to only show at a single (1) open house. Her marketing strategies were so effective the results were phenomenal and she had 153 people attend the open house, and it sold with multiple offers for $75,000 over asking price. Through the entire process, Barb made sure everything went as planned and on time. We highly recommend using Barb to sell your home if you want the most money for home and you want a very easy and fast home selling process. Gus & Cassondra

Cassondra Oetken

With Barb's amazing marketing and negotiating strategies, she was able to get us $26,500 over asking price in just a few days and we set a new high sales price for our neighborhood.Her whole team is great to work with. We highly recommend using the Barb Schlinker team to sell your home! - Mike & Mary

Mary Jones

I needed to downsize to a smaller home. Barb and her team were so helpful. She showed us how to get the home ready to sell. It worked out so well that she sold my home for $15,400 over asking price in just a few days. She then went on to find a great deal on a smaller, brand new home. It was great to be able to use her moving van. Barb worked it out so we could move right into the new one early on the day of closing! I highly recommend Barb, Wendy and the whole team...

Daniel Vigil

It was time for us to downsize our remodeled home. We interviewed several agents. but we knew Barb’s buyers and great marketing would get us the highest price for our home. In a few short weeks Barb was able to sell our home for top dollar, setting a new high sales price in the neighborhood. We are so glad we hired Barb and her team.

We are so pleased that we worked with Barb Schlinker to sell our home at 1450 Masters Drive in Woodland Park. Barb and her team go to great lengths to ensure the home is presented to the market in such a way to command top dollar for the home. From the elegant video production, great photos and beautiful pictures, it all went very well. Barb was able to negotiate for us to stay in the home well after closing allowing us to move to our next location at a comfortable pace. Barb Schlinker and Tom Parker were great to work with to get my home sold. They did an excellent job on photos and marketing. I had previously tried with another agent that resulted in no sale. But when I hired Barb and Tom everything went as planned. When it turned out I needed a new roof, they suggested a roofing company that was able to finish the job quickly and minimize my out-of-pocket expenses. I was able to sell my home for top dollar and they helped me prepare for my move. I highly recommend Barb Schlinker and her team to sell your home.

Fritz

My experience listing my home for sale with Barb Schlinker has been exceptional from start to finish. Barb and her team are very professional and detail oriented. They did an excellent job staging my home, helping me with packing and removing furniture items I was unable to take to my new Florida home. Barb made sure that all aspects of the selling process went smoothly which gave me peace of mind. I would highly recommend Barb Schlinker to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.
