Putting a house on the market in or near Larimer County? Contact Lot and Block Appraisal and make sure you're setting the price right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an 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 a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.

Going to sell your home yourself?

An increasing amount of CO homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a skilled appraiser. You need objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very hard to take an objective look at own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a astute asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very helpful bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Decrease the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people when they find out that the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated assessment of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done

Get a professional value opinion before listing

You may have a very skillful agent but it's definitely a good idea to get an unbiased second opinion of your home's value to signing a listing agreement. And that's where Lot and Block Appraisal comes in. We can furnish you with a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have an accurate summarizing of your home's features and a detailed breakdown of the newest and similar comparable sales which we typically refer to as "comps" in the appraisal industry.
