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

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand real estate market forces.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value. A home is only worth what another person is going to pay.

Appraisals are valuable tools for families selling without an agent

More and more Utah homeowners are deciding 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, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a skilled appraiser. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, it's very difficult 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.

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

Give you an advantage while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Decrease the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to fall through

People are surprised when they find out their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than gathering dust on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
