Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Sara Krake, LLC will ensure you get it right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand their local real estate market.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more OR homeowners are choosing 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 the best price, what you need is a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, it can be very hard to take an objective look at 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 realistic 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 problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help prevent the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to backslide

People are surprised when they find out the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of sitting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
