Appraisal services for home sellers - MW Valuation

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from MW Valuation.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand 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 how much your home will bring on the open market.

Going to sell your home yourself?

Quite a few CA homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and for the best price, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it can be very difficult 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 can getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very helpful bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help decrease the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to backslide

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they originally expected. Others have an an inflated opinion of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than sitting on the market for months.
