Appraisal services for home sellers - a la mode

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from a la mode.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

Selling on your own?

An increasing amount of UT homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a qualified appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, it's very hard 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.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while negotiating once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Make you aware of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Help decrease the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised to discover the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they expected they would get. Others have an an overestimated opinion when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
