Escrows, Inspections & Appraisals

Prior to putting your home on the market, you may want to have your home inspected by independent inspectors to find out if there are any looming problems that would cause a buyer to walk away from your home. Buyers will do their own inspection so be a step ahead and resolve any issues you can. Many times an appraisal of the property can help you determine the market value so you can price the home correctly thus avoiding precious time on the market.

Closing

Congratulations!!! You have arrived at the closing or escrow table. In Colorado title companies provide closing and settlement services. If unforeseeable events happen just prior to closing date, don’t panic. Many times a deal breaker can be negotiated into a win/win situation for all parties. Your real estate professional will assist in all aspects of your transaction.
