Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Timberline Appraisals will ensure you get it right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth every penny in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. You see, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market. A home is only worth the price another person is going to pay.

Selling on your own?

Quite a few Wisconsin homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a expert appraiser.

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 to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Alert you of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing

People are surprised to discover their home's value is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they could have originally gotten. Alternatively, some people 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 - instead of waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your home sits on the market.
