Real estate agents are well-versed in the ins and outs of the paperwork process and will meticulously review all documentation, which could save their clients both time and money!

Homebuyers with a desire to call Boulder home or current residents searching for a new property are often attracted to the area’s thousands of acres of parkland, the abundance of historic sites, and entertainment and cultural events. Adventure-seekers with a love for the outdoors and families seeking a welcoming community will find what they’re looking for—and more—in Boulder.
When it comes to finding “the right fit” in a property or neighborhood, buyers may have an idea of the number of bedrooms and bathrooms or type of garage they’re seeking. Experienced real estate agents have an expert’s eye for what to look for in terms of zoning ordinances, potential foundational issues, or inexpensive fixes. Agents can recognize a spectrum of obstacles—from extensive to minor upgrades– and understand how best to approach them.
Agents also understand how well a neighborhood holds value and can recognize if a property is fairly priced. Based on their background in the local area and experience level, agents can filter out homes that don’t suit a client’s budget or needs or will not be a strong long-term investment.
Additionally, an agent familiar with Boulder’s communities can filter a homebuyer’s desired search area based on proximity to schools, restaurants, distance to the buyer’s workplace, and several other criteria, as well as the client’s personal preferences and budget. With close ties within the area, agents are often “in the know” about properties in the market that may not be widely publicized to the larger public.
Homes in Boulder are in a wide range of styles and sizes, from starter homes to luxury estates, single-family builds to apartments and townhouses. Boulder real estate agents at the Burgess Group can find your ideal place in Boulder’s communities.
FACILITATE CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS

When it comes time to put an offer on a property or review a potential offer, industry terminology can make the process of reviewing contracts difficult for homebuyers. A trusted real estate agent will uphold moral and ethical standards to ensure their client is getting their most beneficial deal.
Agents negotiate on behalf of their clients when it comes to price and other elements within the agreement. Burgess Group executes negotiations with level-headed professionalism that’s free of emotions.
Real estate agents have a “fiduciary responsibility” to their clients, which entails legal obligations to act in the best interest of their clients and in a fair and honest manner. Additionally, real estate agents are required to disclose all relevant information, as well as safeguard clients’ confidential information.
In compliance with the National Association of Realtors (NAR), agents must abide by a code of ethics outlining guidelines for handling transactions honestly and ethically. Agents are also required to put clients’ interests ahead of their own.
When it comes to selling a home, properties listed by real estate agents are more likely to be purchased at a higher price than for sale by owner listings.
With a depth of local market knowledge and assertive negotiating skills, a Boulder realtor from the Burgess Group will work diligently on their clients’ behalf to get their dream property at the best price.
