Appraisal services for home sellers - JEFFREY SMITH

Getting an appraisal from JEFFREY SMITH before putting your Yelm home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

For Sale By Owner?

More and more WA homeowners are choosing 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, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it's very hard 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 astute asking price so your home will attract 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 the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Alert you of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Prevent the odds of hidden problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is higher than they first 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 originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated assessment of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
