Getting an appraisal from Robbins-Marine Property Valuation, Inc. before putting your Jefferson County 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's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, 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 have invested in 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. Something is only going to sell for what another person is willing to give you.

Going to sell your home yourself?

An increasing amount of 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, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, it can be very hard 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.

In addition to helping you set a sound selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Give you an advantage while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Make you aware of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Decrease the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to flop
Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion of their home's value, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
