Westminster CO – Prior to placing your home on the market, get an unbiased opinion on the condition and value of your property!Ok, what do we mean by "unbiased opnion"? If your home is over 12 years old, there is a good chance that something may need repaired, replaced, or a correction of a deficiency, i.e.: HVAC, water heater, plumbing, landscaping, roofing.
With that in mind, you will want to hire a property inspector to provide you an opinion of what will be an issue at the buyer's inspection. That is the "unbiased opinion", outside of your Realtor and yourself, as the homeowner. It is BEST to discover these items so corrective action can take place prior to placing the home on the market.
The next item that may need addressed, depending on the property, i.e.: historical, unique, custom build with no close comps, is coming up with market value. When you have an unusual property, it does not hurt to have a licensed appraiser review the property and provide an appraisal. Thus, having an "unbiased opinion" to assist in coming up with a starting list price for the home.
Not all properties may require the appraisal, if other very similar properties can be used as good comps.
As far as the property inspection goes, it would benefit you to get that done!
Especially, the fix n flip investors that had work performed WITHOUT pulling permits, regardless if you did the work or a hired contractor!!
Past experiences with investors has caused them $15,000 to $25,000, due to NOT pulling permits and work completed did NOT satisfy code!!
Be a well prepared Seller before placing your home on the market! A well defined game plan will benefit you and the value of your property!!
