Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Elty Appraisals, LLC..

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's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

Appraisals are valuable tools for families selling without an agent

An increasing amount of NE homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent.

We will inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a realistic selling 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 the condition of your home inside and out
  • Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help prevent the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to backslide

It can be surprising to people when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of waiting on the market for months.
