Consulting for Real Estate Sellers

Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Capstone Appraisals will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp 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. Rather, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Even if you have with the most experienced agent, it's in your best interest to get an unbiased second opinion of value prior to finalizing a listing agreement. Capstone Appraisals LLC can help. We can provide you with a pre-listing appraisal that will let you and your agent have a definitive writeup of your home's features and a detailed breakdown of the latest and similar comparable sales which we typically refer to as "comps" in the appraisal industry.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Call attention to any issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Lower the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to flop

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
