I am a native of Colorado. I grew up in the Longmont/ Niwot area of Colorado.

I have been married to my amazing husband Shawn for 37 years and although living in upstate NY for the first 10 years of our marriage, we have called Durango our home for over 26 years. We raised our two boys, Tyler and Kevin in this wonderful southwest community and continue to enjoy all the activities Durango has to offer. If you don’t find me at the office, I am probably enjoying the sunshine on our boat, golfing or just simply relaxing with my family at home.

I have been helping buyers and sellers with their real estate needs in the Durango area for over 20 years. I may not be able to “guarantee” selling your home, but I can guarantee my undivided attention, professionalism and commitment to do all I can in getting your home sold.

I would be honored to be a part of this journey with you but above all, I would cherish another new friendship.

I look forward to working with you.

Julee

WELCOME HOME

“

Julee was our blessing in disguise when we purchased our home 2 years ago. She was the one who answered the phone when we called for a showing. She was quick to respond in all areas, she has great integrity, knowledge and expertise in real estate. We feel so extremely fortunate that we happened upon her! After talking to friends about their real estate experiences, (not so great) I am fully confident that Julee will be our forever broker!

“

”

Being out of state, it was hard for us to be there for everything like the inspection. Julee even went to the property to make sure the appliances were working because the seller forgot to fill out parts of the disclosure document.

Without having to ask, Julee was there to take care of everything.

We never had to worry about a thing.

“

”

Julee Glynn was my agent for the purchase of a vacation home in the Durango area and I would highly recommend her! She goes above and beyond what an agent is required to do. I was buying from out of state and she even helped me find a local home inspector and contractor, even helping me with setting appointments. She ensured we stayed on track and on target for all important dates in our contract, and made sure everything ran smoothly. Julee was truly a pleasure to work with and I am so happy with my new home purchase!

“ “

”

We would use Julee Glynn in the future because she was knowledgeable, trustworthy, and very professional. Whenever we had a question she answered it and we always felt like she was there for us. We were in constant communication with her and always felt like we were the most important clients to her.

”

Julee made our move to Bayfield at Christmas so nice. She had our home ready for us, with food in the refrigerator and holiday decorations!

She really went above and beyond.

OFFERING A HOME WARRANTY WHEN SELLING YOUR HOME A home warranty is not the same as homeowner’s insurance. But it can help with costs if appliances or major home systems fail in some way.

ADVANTAGES: You’re more likely to sell a house with a home warranty than you are without a warranty. Offering a home warranty with the purchase can increase a buyer’s confidence in choosing your home.

A home warranty will garner interest in your home, especially from first-time home buyers, who might be concerned about future repair expenses. Most home warranties cost $300 to $500, and last for a year after the closing date. When you buy a seller’s home warranty, it should include coverage on your home while it’s on the market. The warranty would then be transferred to the buyer for one year of coverage beginning on the closing date of the sale.

DO YOUR RESEARCH FIRST The details of what’s covered vary according to the specific plan you buy. Generally, a basic home warranty covers systems including heating and cooling, plumbing and electrical, and appliances such as water heater, dishwasher, stove, garbage disposal and a built-in microwave oven.

Each warranty company offers different packages. It’s important to read all terms before signing anything. Know what’s covered and what’s not. Upgrades can be made to cover other appliances, including the washer, dryer, refrigerator or garage door opener. Ask about coverage options for a hot tub, pool, septic system or standalone freezer.

Warranty companies require that you perform regular maintenance on appliances and systems. If something stops working as a result of improper maintenance, it likely won’t be covered under the terms of the warranty.

You’re responsible for making sure that your systems and appliances are working.

The warranty company may require you to upgrade an appliance before it agrees to cover the appliance in the warranty. They also may require proof of any service and maintenance records before they agree to a repair.

THE IMPORTANCE OF A PRE-LISTING HOME INSPECTION: 7 REASONS! Getting a pre-listing home inspection offers some advantages to sellers that you may not be aware of. The biggest, of course, finding out the exact condition of the property. Exceptional real estate agents are continually preaching to their seller clients about the importance of being ready for the buyer’s home inspection.

There is no requirement that you get a pre-listing home inspection, but there are certainly a lot of advantages to doing so. Every home sale involves stress and uncertainty, but you can limit the negative aspects of the process by gathering all the accurate information you can about your home before you list it. With a seller’s pre-listing inspection, you avoid surprises and make your sale a whole lot easier.

1. Reduce the stress of selling your home.

It is normal to worry that your home may have some hidden problems that you are not aware of. With an inspection, you will know if any such problems exist and have the opportunity to address them.

2. Help with pricing your home correctly.

With a home inspection, you will have a much better understanding of any negative aspects of the house and can price accordingly. You may also be able to price the home slightly higher if you discover that there really is nothing wrong.

3. Speed up the sales process.

A buyer that knows you have already had the home inspected is going to feel a lot more comfortable making an offer. No one wants to buy a house that has a bunch of hidden issues. With the inspection in hand, you can demonstrate that the home is in great shape and worth the price you have set. And if there are issues, you can be upfront about them and make it clear that the reasonable price of the home reflects the knowledge of those issues.

4. Allows you to make repairs.

The inspection may uncover some problem areas that you may want to address before listing the house. You can hire a contractor you know and trust to complete the repairs correctly and for a fair price. Also, it is much easier to schedule a contractor when it’s convenient for you and not being rushed under the terms of a contract.

5. Avoids the need for renegotiation.

The carefully considered offer from the buyer may be thrown out the window if the buyer’s inspection discovers any serious issues with your home. It can be upsetting to see the deal you were relying on begin to crumble and salvaging such a deal can lead to renegotiation that ultimately leave you on the losing end. Having a prehome inspection certainly puts you in a much better negotiation position during the inspection contingency dates.

6. Helps improve buyer confidence.

Buyers are in a difficult position, so it is normal for them to retain a healthy amount of suspicion when considering a home purchase. If the buyer has any thoughts that the home might have hidden problems, the offer he or she makes will reflect that. A pre-listing home inspection can help eliminate much of the doubt about the home.

Knowing that the home has already been examined and that there are no problems allows the buyer to make a confident offer.

7. Helps eliminate lending rejections.

Having a pre-home inspection saves time on the lending side for a buyer. If a home has been under contract and off the market for three weeks and an issue say with mold or foundation is discovered, this could be a termination under loan approval because it wasn’t dealt with before putting the home on the market. Once the home is in a healthy state and ready to sell, reasons for a bank to not loan on issues and losing valuable time on the market is drastically reduced. A seller certainly doesn’t want to lose a buyer on a health or safety issue that the bank won’t lend on.
