Selling your home in or near Benton County? Contact TAMMY WOODMAN and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional 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 hard for them to understand their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.

Selling on your own?

An increasing amount of Oregon homeowners are making the decision 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 for top dollar, you need a professional appraisal. You need objective opinions, it can be very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. I 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 astute asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Give you an advantage while bargaining once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Call attention to any problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help lower the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop

Homeowners are sometimes surprised when they find out that the value of their home is a great deal more than they thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they thought they would get. Others have an an over-estimated opinion when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
