Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Everyday Appraisal.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

More and more WA homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help 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 expert appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, it can be very difficult to be objective about your 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.

In addition to helping you set a realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Alert you of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Help prevent the odds of hidden problems that cause sales to fall through

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out 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 originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly 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.

Get a professional value opinion before listing

You might have a highly talented agent but it's definitely a good idea to have an objective third-party's opinion of value prior to finalizing a listing agreement. Let Everyday Appraisal help. We can provide you with a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a definitive description of your home's characteristics and a detailed analysis of the latest and similar comparable sales or as they're commonly called, "comps".
