Selling your home in or near Jefferson County? Contact Centennial Appraisal Group 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 a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home. After all, a home is only going to sell for what another person is offering to give you.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

More and more Colorado homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and for the best price, what you need is a expert appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, it can be very difficult to take an objective look at 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.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Give you an advantage while bargaining once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Alert you of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Lower the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to backslide
People are surprised when they find out that the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated impression when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while you're in Real Estate "limbo".
