Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Horizon Appraisal LLC.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

Selling on your own?

Quite a few WA 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, with minimal waiting and for the best price, what you need is a qualified appraiser. You need objective opinions, it can be very difficult to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sensible asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very useful bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Call attention to any issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help prevent the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an overestimated assessment 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 allowing them to quickly sell it rather than sitting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done

Even if you have with a very skillful agent, it's definitely a good idea to get an objective third-party's opinion of value prior to signing a listing agreement. And that's where Horizon Appraisal LLC comes in.
