Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Kim Ryder Appraisals.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand real estate market forces.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal.

We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sensible selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very useful bargaining tool 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 hold-up a closing
  • Help prevent the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised when they find out that their home's value is higher than they first thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they expected they would get. Others have an an inflated opinion when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than sitting on the market for months.
