Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Whicker Appraisals Inc. will ensure you get it 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's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.

Selling on your own?

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

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

  • Give you an advantage while negotiating once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Make you aware of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help decrease the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through

People are surprised to discover their home's value is much more than they thought. So by taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they originally expected.
