Selling your home in or near Douglas County? Contact Saxton Appraisals, Inc. and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

Selling on your own?

More and more NE 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, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a expert appraiser. 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 explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a astute selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Make you aware of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Decrease the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to deteriorate

It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally thought. Others have an an inflated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
