Why February is a Strategic Time to Sell
Selling your home in February can give you an advantage before the busy spring market. While inventory is lower, serious buyers are actively looking, and competition among sellers is minimal. Early listings often attract motivated buyers willing to act quickly.

Preparing Your Home for February Sale

  • Staging: Highlight the home’s best features and create an inviting atmosphere.

  • Repairs and Upgrades: Address minor issues to ensure your property is market-ready.

  • Professional Photography: High-quality images improve online listings and first impressions.

Pricing Strategies
Accurate pricing is critical. Pricing too high may deter buyers, while pricing competitively can spark multiple offers. Using a local real estate broker ensures your price aligns with current market trends in neighborhoods like Briargate, Black Forest, and Downtown Colorado Springs.

Marketing Tips

  • Leverage online listings and social media promotion.

  • Highlight unique features such as mountain views or proximity to top schools.

  • Offer virtual tours to accommodate out-of-town buyers.

Neighborhood Market Insights
Certain neighborhoods attract buyers more quickly due to lifestyle perks:

  • Briargate: Excellent schools, parks, and family-friendly amenities.

  • Black Forest: Privacy, larger lots, and outdoor recreational opportunities.

  • Downtown Colorado Springs: Walkability and urban convenience.

Final Advice for Sellers
Working with an experienced broker gives you access to pricing insights, off-market buyers, and marketing expertise. Selling in February can maximize your home’s visibility and position you ahead of the spring rush.

My Mission Real estate is more than just a career for me—it’s a calling. Since the very beginning, my goal has always been simple: put people first and provide service that goes far beyond a transaction. I believe buying or selling a home is one of life’s biggest decisions, and my mission is to make sure you feel supported, confident, and cared for every step of the way. My Journey My story in Colorado Springs began in the Air Force, serving four years at NORAD. That experience taught me discipline, dedication, and the importance of integrity—values I’ve carried with me throughout my life and career. When I transitioned into real estate in 1979, I brought those same values to the work I do for my clients. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping families find their first homes, guiding investors toward smart opportunities, and assisting homeowners in selling properties for the best possible return. Every client has a story, and being part of that journey is what continues to inspire me after decades in this business. How I Work To me, real estate is a team effort. I take the time to truly listen and understand your needs, set clear goals with you, and stay in close communication so you always feel informed. My website serves as a 24/7 resource, with tools to search for homes, track your home’s value, and access helpful information whenever you need it. But while technology makes the process easier, it’s the personal connection that makes the difference—and that’s where I focus most. Behind the scenes, I’m supported by a trusted team: Janet S. – Executive Assistant & Office Manager Suze T. – Receptionist Together, we make sure every detail is handled with care so you can focus on what matters most—your move. Clients First, Always The heart of my business is the relationships I’ve built over the years. Many of my clients have become lifelong friends, and I’m honored that so much of my business comes from repeat clients and referrals. That trust means everything to me, and I never take it for granted. Service Areas I proudly serve: Colorado Springs Woodland Park Monument Fountain Falcon No matter where you are in your real estate journey, I would be honored to guide you home.
