Buying a Home in Denver Just Got Easier (Selling, Too!)
Let’s face it: Buying a home in Denver is fiercely competitive. Dog-eat-dog, even. You have to be quick, proactive, alert, and informed. Also? You should do whatever you can to make sure you’re drowning in email and text threads throughout the entire search process.
Eh… no.
If you’ve ever tried to buy a home, you know what we’re talking about. It usually goes something like this:
Over your morning coffee, you peruse the web for houses. One looks sort of interesting, so you shoot the link to your partner. They reply back—eventually... on their lunch break—with an indignant, “Detached garage? No way!”
You reply a few minutes later, pointing out the pizza oven built into the deck. Your partner agrees that the idea of homemade pizza makes the detached garage seem worth it, so you decide to ask for a showing.
You forward the email chain to your agent, where it waits with 286 other emails they’ve received that day. They see it the next morning, go to book a showing, aaaaaaand “PENDING.”
That’s right. Someone snatched it up while you were trading hopeful emails. Again. Too late, too bad. Better luck next time.
Also? Your agent missed your preference for an attached garage and an outdoor pizza oven... because those important details got lost in the deep, dark, email thread underworld.
BLERGH. Like you, we feel super frustrated when buyers miss out on a house they love— especially when it’s just because of a communication breakdown.
That’s why we’re thrilled to announce RealScout, an app that puts you in the driver’s seat when it comes to searching for your new place.
With RealScout, You’ll Never Miss a Listing Again
Think of RealScout like Pinterest, Facebook, and the MLS all rolled into one nifty app for buyers, sellers, and their agents... but with fewer unsolicited political opinions (yay!) and fewer funny cat videos (sorry, we can’t have everything).
With RealScout, you can be:
Proactive
Waiting to jump on listings the minute they’re emailed to you is a great way to become super obsessed with your email. But it’s not a great way to get the house you really want.
Buyers who have the least frustrating experience are those who are proactive in their search. RealScout gives you all the tools you need right at your fingertips—so you can stop being an overly anxious email-refresher and instead be a relaxed home buyer.
Timely
If you’re looking for a place through a site like Zillow, Trulia, or Realtor, you’re already behind by the time a home is visible to you. And besides being slow on the uptake, third-party sites are notoriously inaccurate.
With RealScout, you’ll be connected directly to MLS listings as soon as they’re updated—in real-time. So you can put dibs on the house of your dreams before other buyers snatch it out from under you.
In Sync
We love using RealScout for the same reason our clients do: It puts us all on the same page. Whether you’re a single buyer or have multiple people helping with your search, your entire crew (including us, as your agents) can comment, share, and communicate in one place.
That allows us to do our best work for you—learning what you like, quickly setting up showings, and keeping track of all your notes without the risk of losing details in email chains or text threads. Bottom line: You find the house of your dreams with less fuss.
Empowered
So much of the buying process can feel like a game of chance. But the odds are ever in your favor when you have resources, tools, and knowledge right at your fingertips. By bringing agents and buyers together in a hub with the most up-to-date information, RealScout allows you to make timely, informed decisions.
No more guessing. No more finger-crossing. No more sacrifices to the home-buying gods. RealScout keeps you organized, informed, and on track. It's home searching empowerment at its finest.
Cool Again
This app is just as fun as it is helpful. The technology is sleek, beautiful, and intuitive. And it’s simple to set up on all your devices, so you’ll be liking and commenting on listings in no time.
And here’s one of our favorite features: If you’re out and about and see a home for sale, you can pull up the app, search for houses nearby, and the one you’re standing in front of will automagically pop up. It’s like all the excitement of Pokemon Go, but with fewer tweens and better (non-imaginary) prizes.
A Savvy Seller
RealScout isn’t just for buyers. As a seller, you can see, in real-time, what’s going on with listings in your area. That means you’ll have the competitive edge you need to list at the right time and for the right price, so buyers will be knocking down your door. (Not literally. No actual homes have been harmed, even amidst all this excitement.)
Intrigued? Let’s Talk.
RealScout is only available through agents—like Dwell Denver. Even better: When you work with us, all of our resources are available to you for free.
The best way to get started with RealScout is by talking with a real-life human. You know—like us.
We’ll gather all the deets on your dream home, get everything set up for you, direct you to the app, and then you can browse and comment and like and share to your heart’s content.
No pressure, no hard sales, and no commitment. Just a quick call to get you set up. Sound good?
