Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact DenverT Appraisal

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's estimated value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract serious buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is still sitting on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the top way to get a solid listing price for your home in today's adapting market.

Working with a real estate agent to sell your home? More than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes similar homes for sale in your local area. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the house's time on the market, this is a really important step.

Even if you have been working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before signing the Listing Agreement.

That's where we come in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

A polished appraisal from DenverT Appraisal can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will draw in buyers, and we'll also:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you have a potential buyer
Impress potential buyers with written proof of your home's quality inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Cut down the chances of unexpected problems that can cause your sale to crumble
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal will close.

Improvements to add value

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your property. You should ask yourself questions like "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Should I finish my closet remodel?" Many things which we do to our houses can affect their value. Unfortunately, not all of them have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the expenses involved.
