Putting a house on the market in or near Green County? Contact Timberline Appraisals and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional 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 a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand their local real estate market.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market. Something is only worth what another person is offering to give you.

Selling on your own?

More and more Wisconsin homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it's hard 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 a realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very helpful bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Call attention to any issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Lower the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

People are surprised when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So by taking the first step and investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated opinion of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of sitting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
