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

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, a professional appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

You could be thinking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. You see, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market. Technically, something is only going to sell for the price another person is offering to pay.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

More and more Missouri homeowners are deciding 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 an objective opinion, it can be very hard to take an objective look at your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you 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:
  • Give you an advantage while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Call attention to any problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help decrease the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to flop
Folks are sometimes surprised to discover their home's value is much 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 thought. Alternatively, some people have an inflated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
