Selling your home in or near Stark County? Contact American West Real Estate and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand their local real estate market.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.

Selling on your own?

An increasing amount of ND homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, it can be very hard 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 sensible selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very beneficial negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Call attention to any problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Lower the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to fall through

It can be surprising to people when they find out that the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of waiting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
