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

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and 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 practically impossible for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

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

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

  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Make you aware of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help decrease the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to backslide

It can be surprising to people when they find out that their home's value is much more than they thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they thought they would get.
