Appraisal services for home sellers - Summerlin Ins & Realty

Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Summerlin Ins & Realty will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

For Sale By Owner?

More and more NC homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, what you need is a expert appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very difficult to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very helpful negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Alert you of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Help decrease the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So by taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally expected. Others have an an inflated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than waiting 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.
