Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Keystone Appraisals and Consulting, LLC.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.

Selling on your own?

An increasing amount of CO homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a skilled appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it's very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very useful negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Call attention to any issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Prevent the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised when they find out the value of their home is a great deal more than they thought. So by taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an overestimated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
