Getting an appraisal from Saxton Appraisals, Inc. before putting your Omaha home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays 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 fully grasp local real estate values.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more NE homeowners are deciding 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 to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it's 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 sensible selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while negotiating once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Call attention to any problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Decrease the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

People are surprised to discover their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an exaggerated assessment of their home's value, 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. 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

Get a professional value opinion before listing

You may have a very experienced agent but it's in your best interest to get an objective third-party's opinion of value prior to signing a listing agreement. And that's where Saxton Appraisals, Inc. comes in.
