Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Dollar Diamond Real Estate Appraisals will ensure you get it right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

For Sale By Owner?

An increasing amount of ID homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and for the best price, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a astute asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Give you an advantage while negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Alert you of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help decrease the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

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 a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally thought. Others have an an inflated assessment of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.

Get a professional value opinion before listing

You may have an extremely skillful agent but it's definitely a good idea to have an unbiased second opinion of your home's value to signing a listing agreement. Dollar Diamond Real Estate Appraisals can help. We can provide you with a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have an accurate summarizing of your home's features and a detailed breakdown of the latest and similar comparable sales which we typically refer to as "comps" in the appraisal industry.
