Putting a house on the market in or near La Plata County? Contact Kevin Burke and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

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

In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very beneficial negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Make you aware of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Decrease the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

People are surprised to discover the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
