Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Colorado Mountain Products & Services.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home won't attract potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

In today's evolving market, using a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get a just listing price for your home.

Working with a real estate agent to sell your property? More than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays competing sales in your area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the house's time on the market, this is a crucial step.

However, it's also advantageous to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before signing a Listing Agreement, even if you've hired the most experienced real estate agent.

And that's where Colorado Mountain Products & Services comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have found a prospective buyer
Impress potential buyers with written proof of your house's condition inside and out
Make you aware of problems and eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Cut down the chances of unexpected disputes that can cause sales to fizzle
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

In addition to "how much?", there may be more important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Should I finish my closet remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

Colorado Mountain Products & Services can help you with these decisions. Unlike a real estate agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete the report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
