Appraisal services for home sellers - Kramer Appraisal Service

Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Kramer Appraisal Service will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

An increasing amount of IA 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, with minimal waiting and for the best price, what you need is a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult difficult 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 realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while negotiating when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Call attention to any problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Prevent the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to backslide

People are surprised when they find out the value of their home is a great deal more than they thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated assessment of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to 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 rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
