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

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand their local real estate market.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few AZ homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and for the best price, what you need is a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very difficult to be objective about 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 realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Call attention to any issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help lower the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to fall through

It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally expected. Others have an an overestimated assessment of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of waiting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
