Getting an appraisal from Kelly Preisser before putting your Colorado Springs home on the market saves you time and money.

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 studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand real estate market forces.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. Rather, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market. After all, a home is only going to sell for what another person is willing to give you.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

More and more Colorado homeowners are deciding 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 for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, it's very hard 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 sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while bargaining once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Call attention to any problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Help decrease the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they could have originally gotten. Others have an an inflated opinion of the value of their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
