Should You Get an Appraisal?

How can you be sure your home is priced fairly? One of the best ways is to go right to the source and get an appraisal. Not only will this let you know how much banks will be willing to lend for your home, it's also a bargaining chip for you in negotiations.

A lot of sellers ask us every day what they can do to set their home apart when it comes time to sell. One of the hot buttons on every buyer’s mind is price. They want to make sure the home is worth what they are paying. 

While the seller also wants to get top dollar, the bank that is lending money to the buyer wants to make sure the home is priced fairly. What we can do to cut to the chase is get to know what the home is worth in today’s market up front. 

Buyers may think a home is overpriced, but when we can share a certified appraisal, it gives the buyer’s agent more ammunition to negotiate a higher price for you as a seller. From your standpoint as a seller, you don’t want to leave any money on the table.

Price at or slightly below appraised value.

As long as we ask whatever the appraised value is or a little lower, the buyer has no other choice than to see value in the home and make an offer if they really want it. This is just one more thing we do to help you sell faster and for a better price.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. We would love to hear from you.
