Getting an appraisal from The Lister Appraisal Group before putting your Centennial home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

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:

  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Prevent the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised when they find out that the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of waiting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
