Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Kimberly Napier 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 the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Appraisals are valuable tools for families selling without an agent

Quite a few VA homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent.

We will inform you of 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 to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very valuable bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Alert you of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help prevent the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that the value of their home is much more than they thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an overestimated impression of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than sitting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
