Consulting for Home Sellers

Putting a house on the market? Contact Mallett Appraisal Group and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you 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 understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

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.

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

More and more homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right and to get the most you can, you need is a qualified appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions. We're human too, and we understand its difficult to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set an asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of issues and any overlooked repairs that might delay a closing
Help decrease the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that the value of their home is more than they originally believed. Investing in a professional appraisal provides the data to support a sale. Others have an exaggerated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers which means no offers and no closing which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done

We also help agents price homes

Even if you're working with the most experienced agent, it's definitely a good idea to have an unbiased second opinion of value prior to finalizing a listing agreement. Mallett Appraisal Group can help. An appraisal can be invaluable in a scenario like this. It will give both you and your agent a complete description of your property, and its features and give you insight into how the local real estate market is performing with a detailed analysis of the latest comparable properties in the area.
