HOW AM I DIFFERENT THAN OTHER AGENTS? How am I different from other real estate agents? My main goal as a real estate broker is to educated my clients and the public. I believe that a real estate transaction is not only one of the most expensive financial decisions you will ever make in your life, but can also be among the most stressful. My job is to guide you through the process as efficiently and painlessly as possible. You have enough to think about with moving!
Experience I have over 25 years of experience in the real estate industry. I graduated high school and went right into real estate obtaining my license in 1991. My business experience has reached across many facets of the business from new home sales to resale properties and even specialized niches such as lakefront, golf course, luxury and mountain sales.
Technology Not only do I love where technology has taken us in the past couple of decades, I try to keep informed as much as a I can with what technological advances are available that would be useful in the marketing I provide my sellers with and tools for home searching that I provide my buyers with. In 2015 I started using Matterport 3D floor plans on all my listings which is a product that provides the most realistic “virtual” tour of a home. It is the next best thing to actually touring the home in person.
Expertise I have sold properties from northern Colorado to south of Larkspur and west into the Foothills as far as Park and Clear Creek Counties from $30,000 to over $4,000,000.
Communication Because I have a strong passion for what I do and believe selling or buying a home can be one of the most emotional processes you will experience, I make myself available to my clients via text, phone or e-mail. I try to make our communication as convenient as possible and geared towards my client’s preferences. I like to meet my clients in person and have verbal conversations as much as possible.
Clients for Life My goal is for 100% satisfaction with every transaction. Your referrals are the greatest compliment I can receive.
Personal I enjoy spending my “down time” with my family, reading a good book, taking advantage of the beautiful state we have available to explore and traveling as much as possible.
My Commitment to You Real Estate Made Simple. That is my promise to you.

I highly recommend Angie. She was involved the whole process and made buying from afar manageable. Russ Bahlenhorst Angie Willis sold my home in days and got full price for it! I have known her a long time and she is the most detailed and knowledgeable real estate broker I know. She is committed to serving her client’s needs goes the extra mile for them. I would heartily recommend both buyers and sellers to Angie. You will not be disappointed! Jeanne & Fred Gschwend Angie, thank you so much for all your help in our home purchase. We really appreciate your service. Kyle & Anastasia Rush It was very good working with Angie on my home purchase. She knew what my limits were and what I wanted. While searching for homes within my price range she was very committed in finding the right home for me and we discussed the pros and cons on each property we looked at. We were both delighted with the home I purchased. I will, and have, highly recommend Angie Willis as an outstanding Realtor. Donna Hite Angie is very knowledgeable and easily sensed our likes and dislikes. She is objective and truly on the clients’ side. She is honest and a lot of fun!! Kara & Matt Smith Angie is very knowledgeable and professional. She knows all aspects of the real estate business. She helped my wife and I in several different transactions. She had also helped a friend of ours to find a home. Larry Farmer Thank you to you and Angie for everything. You both went out of your way to help us with both homes...we were so happy to have you on our team! Chelsea Mays & Jack Collins

From specialized market knowledge to negotiating and closing your transaction and ensuring everything is completed as quickly and efficiently as possible. Here’s an overview of the steps we’ll be taking along the way. Communication makes all the difference. You’ll always know what’s going on behind the scenes while your property is listed. I will solicit feedback from each consumer and agent who views your property, passing their comments on to you. We will work together to formulate a price adjustment strategy that sees us through your listing period. You’ll receive regular progress reports, delivered as frequently as you request. Whether you prefer a phone call or an email, that’s what you’ll get. Prepare your home for a successful sale. More and more sellers today are seeing the value of investing in a pre-inspection on the property they are preparing to list. Whether or not you are confident in the condition of the home, an inspection can either give us professional, third-party validation, or reveal issues you should attend to before listing your property – issues a buyer inspection could surface later, making them part of the final price negotiation. We will evaluate the current state of your property and arrange home staging, if needed or desired. Any repairs or improvements needed to maximize your home’s value and appeal will be identified and scheduled. Expert guidance helps you make informed decisions. Providing a marketing strategy based on your wants and needs combined with the research I have done and knowledge I have of your area to meet your goals. I will prepare a competitive market analysis and recommend an appropriate list price and probable sales price for your property. I will make recommendations on staging, potential repairs and cleaning your property in order to make your home more attractive to buyers. I can suggest quality professionals including attorneys, handymen, stagers and inspectors. I will market your property to buyers and other agents utilizing all possible and appropriate methods. Accountability and loyalty every step of the way. My commitment is to you. Placing your interests above all others, keeping your information strictly confidential and ensuring that all parties to the transaction are informed about any material facts that may affect the transaction are my promises to you. I will receive, deliver and/or monitor all earnest money deposits, documents and final closing statements to you in a timely manner.
Earning and retaining your trust is most important to me.

Price | Pricing your home properly from the start is the deciding factor on how long it will take to sell it.
Location | Location is the single most important factor in determining the value of your property.
Condition | The condition of the property affects the price and the speed of the sale. As prospective buyers often make purchases based on emotion, first impressions are important. I’ll be able to help in optimizing the physical appearance of your home to maximize the buyer’s perception of value.
Competition | Prospective buyers are going to compare your property – both the condition and the price – to other listings in and around your neighborhood. Those buyers will determine value based on properties that are listed or have recently sold in the area.
Timing | Property values are affected by the current real estate market. Because we can’t manipulate the market, we’ll collaborate on a pricing and marketing strategy that will take advantage of the first 30 days your property is listed. It’s the window of opportunity when buyers and their agents discover your property and are most likely to visit and make offers.
TIMING IS EVERYTHING W E E K 1 : Growing Awareness | A new property on the market generates a high level of interest. W E E K 2 : High Awareness | Peak market awareness during the first two weeks on the market. W E E K 3 : Declining Awareness | Declining awareness and interest as other new properties arrive on the market W E E K 4 : Continued Decline | Continued decline and interest.

P R I C E R I G H T – AT T R A C T B U Y E R S Pricing your property competitively will generate the most activity from agents and buyers. Pricing your property too high may make it necessary to drop the price below market value to compete with new, well-priced listings. PRICING MISCONCEPTIONS No matter what the current market conditions, it is very important to price your property at competitive market value when we finalize the listing agreement. B U Y E R S A N D S E L L E R S D E T E R M I N E VA L U E The value of your property is determined by what a buyer is willing to pay and a seller is willing to accept in today's market. Buyers make their pricing decision based on comparing your property to other properties SOLD in your area. Historically, your first offer is usually your best.
If you want to compete, be competitive. The buying market has a short attention span. Pricing your home right the first time is key. Proper pricing attracts buyers. An overpriced house will not sell. We want to generate offers before the market moves on to newer listings.
P R I C E C O M P E T I T I V E LY - T H E F I R S T 3 0 D A Y S A R E C R I T I C A L The right price is important. A property generates the most interest when it first hits the market. The number of showings is greatest during this time if it is priced at a realistic market value. Starting too high and dropping the price later misses the excitement and fails to generate strong activity. Many homes that start high end up selling below market value.

THE HOME-SELLING PROCESS: S TA G I N G Y O U R H O M E THREE THINGS TO REMEMBER: 1.
You don't get a second chance to make a first impression.
2.
A review of more than 2,800 properties in eight cities found that staged homes, on average, sold in half the time that non-staged homes did.
3.
Most buyers make decisions about the property they see within the first 15 seconds of entering the home.

ACCEPTING AN OFFER Once a prospective buyer decides your home is the property they want, we can expect an offer. While much of the agreement is standard there are a few area that can be negotiated. Once you accept their offer, it becomes a binding contract between you and the buyer. The Offer Includes General terms specific to the property such as address, legal description, ownership and how the buyer will take title. The Price and Terms What the buyers offers on a property depends on a number of factors including its condition, length of time on the market, current market conditions, buyer activity, and the urgency of your move. Terms, such as cash or new loan, if the buyer is obtaining financing. The Deadlines and Due Diligence Items There are several deadlines contained in the contract that will determine when certain disclosure items are due from you and the buyer’s objections to review of the home and its inclusions that are provided for. Contract acceptance, closing and possession dates are also addressed. Inclusions and Exclusions If you plan on leaving major appliances in the home we will disclose this in the MLS system; however, which items stay or go is often a matter of negotiation. We will identify the items the you are offering as inclusions and exclusions. Sometimes buyers may ask for items to be included as part of the negotiation process that you have excluded. We will discuss the pros and cons of changing your preference if an offer comes in with such a request. The buyer’s agent will present the offer to me and I will present it to you. You will then do one of the following: Reject the offer Counter the offer with changes Accept the offer By far the most common is the counteroffer. In these cases, my experience and negotiating skills become powerful in representing your best interests. When a counteroffer is presented you and I will work together to review each specific area of it making sure that we move forward with your goals in mind and ensuring that we negotiate the best possible price and terms on your behalf, but at the same time keeping your offer competitive and the buyer engaged with negotiations. I will never advise you to reject an offer as any offer is just a starting point.

When you and the buyer come to an agreement on your offer the terms of the contract will “kick in” and it will be time to start performing the due diligence terms of the contract. You have much of the burden to provide certain due diligence items to the buyer for review. I will outline your responsibilities upon acceptance of the offer and will stay in touch with you from contract to close to help guide you through the process. Much of what you are responsible for I will engage in on your behalf, such as ordering the title commitment, scheduling inspection appointments with the buyer’s agent, etc. Earnest Money With the buyer’s offer they need to provide something of “value” to the you as good faith that they will follow through with the terms of the contract, subject to any objections they may have under the due diligence periods. They will provide an earnest money deposit that will be held in an escrow account by the title company. Any entity that holds the earnest money is bound by Colorado real estate law and the terms set forth in the contract for handling of the earnest money should there be a dispute, or if the contract terminates. Their earnest money is protected under several sections of the contract and if the buyer terminates outside of the terms of the contract, your retention of the earnest money as damages is provided for as well. Inspections The most important part of the buyer’s due diligence under the terms of the contract is the inspection period. This is the time that the buyer is allowed to inspect the property of their own accord, bring in professionals, contractors or other people that will provide them information about the home. The purpose of the inspection is to inform the buyer so that they know exactly what they are buying. There is not a home available for sale (including brand new construction) that is in perfect condition, so keep in mind the inspector’s job is to point out every deficiency, no matter how large or small, to the buyer during these inspections. Contingencies In addition to common contract contingencies which include the buyer obtaining financing from a lending institution, a satisfactory report by a home inspector, an appraisal for at least the value of the contract price, title insurance and others, there might be other requirements specific to your sale included. These might be special inspections (such as stucco, or predrywall inspections on a new home), tax advice or occasionally attorney review. Well and septic inspections and disclosure of specific environmental hazards or other state-specific requirements might also be necessary.

What can you expect? The closing agent will look over the purchase contract and identify what payments are owed and by whom; prepare documents for the closing; conduct the closing; make sure taxes, title searches, real estate commissions and other closing costs are paid; ensure that the buyer's title is recorded; and ensure that you receive any monies due to you.
What are your costs? Sellers commonly pay the following at closing:
Mortgage balance and prepayment penalties, if applicable. Other claims against your property, such as unpaid property taxes. Unpaid special assessments on your property, document stamps (or taxes) on the deed. Real estate commission. Legal fee or base title insurance premium.
After the closing, make sure you keep the following for tax purposes:
Copies of all closing documents. All home improvement receipts on the home you sold.

All potential buyers will be pre-qualified so valuable time isn't wasted. Each offer will be presented and discussed with you. I will negotiate the details of your transaction with the other agent. Closing will be prepared, coordinated and finalized for you.

HOW YOUR AGENT MARKETS THEMSELVES INDICATES HOW THEY WILL MARKET YOUR HOME BY DEAN HARTMAN ON DECEMBER 22, 2011 (THE KCM BLOG) With the glut of available homes on the market, how your home is marketed is the biggest factor in determining how quickly it will sell (assuming the price is reasonably presented). A real estate agent’s marketing plan should be the most crucial determinant in deciding who to list your home with. But, how can you really know about the agent’s marketing strategies? One way is to see what they are doing with their current clients. Do those homes “stand out”? Contact those sellers. Are they getting a lot of showings and offers? Another way is looking at how the agent markets themselves and their services: Does the photo they use for themselves represent how they look? Does their print advertising look like everyone else’s? What technology are they using to show your home? Are they using video? Is their website interesting and full of current information or just cookie cutter? Do they have a professional presence on social networks? Does their marketing show them as an expert or does it merely pat them on the back? Quality photos on the web and top notch video may be the factor that drives people to see your house (and they are very important). However, how an agent drives traffic to see those photos and videos is even more important. We all know the saying - “It’s not what you know…it’s who you know.” However, in marketing, it’s more crucial to know “who knows you”. Agents who are unknown are not good marketers. Today, you need an excellent marketer to represent you.

FA Q How will you tell buyers about my home being listed? The REColorado.com website provides real-time information for every home on the market. Once your home is entered in the MLS system I will get a list of brokers that have buyers whom your home meets some or all of their search criteria. I will contact these brokers directly in addition to national syndication and other marketing efforts outlined in this guide. Will you buyers have access to my home through all real estate companies or only Keller Williams Realty? Yes, all real estate companies that are members of MLS will have access to your home. How does your ofďŹ ce handle showing requests for my home? You will be contacted before every appointment by a Centralized Showing company representative. At times, brokers may request showing appointments that do not meet the guidelines you provided at the time of listing. Our representatives will communicate your showing requirements to all brokers requesting an appointment and will make every effort to schedule these requests within the guidelines. It is best, whenever possible, to leave the house during showings. Will you get feedback from brokers or buyers on all showings? I make every effort to follow up on showings by contacting all brokers and buyers within a few days of their appointments and then recording and communicating their responses to you. I will continue to try and solicit a response up to three times. Please be aware that not all brokers respond to feedback requests. You can view feedback, advertising and marketing activity on your property at any time by clicking on the link that will be in each notification that you receive from our showing service, Centralized Showing. Will the buyer want to come back to our property again once an offer is accepted but before possession? The buyer will need access to the property for their inspection (usually a half-day) with prior notice to you. Sometimes they do request to show the property to family members or friends before closing/possession. Once I accept an offer, what should I do? Celebrate and focus on moving! You will want to schedule your move, pack items and notify businesses of your address change. The moving checklist in this guide will help you remember all the details. I will also give you a closing statement about a week prior to closing, which will indicate the amount you will receive at closing. I can also help you make arrangements for your funds to be wired to your financial institution and/or the title company if you are using the proceeds towards the down payment on a replacement home.
