Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Western Trend Appraisal Group 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 an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

You're probably, as a homeowner, thinking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. You see, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home. Something is only going to sell for the price another person is willing to give you.

Going to sell your home yourself?

Quite a few Arizona homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a skilled appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, it can be very hard to take an objective look at your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. 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:
  • Give you an advantage while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Decrease the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to fall through
Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out their home's value is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they expected they would get. Others have an an inflated opinion of the value of their home, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of sitting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
