Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Cheryl Clark will ensure you get it right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for the price another person is offering to pay.

Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

But to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a expert appraiser.

We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Give you an advantage while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Alert you of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Decrease the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to fall through
It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is much more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they expected they would get. Others have an an inflated impression of the value of their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your home sits on the market.
