Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Hier Appraisals LLC will ensure you get it right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult 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 how much you want to sell it for. You see, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market. After all, a home is only going to sell for what another person is going to give you.

Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

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 to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, and we understand that it's 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 to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Alert you of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Help decrease the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they thought they would get. Others have an an exaggerated impression when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your home sits on the market.
