Appraisal services for home sellers - Great Estates, Inc.

Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Great Estates, Inc. will ensure you get it right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

More and more 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 if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, you need a skilled appraiser. You need objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a astute asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Help decrease the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an inflated assessment of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than sitting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
