Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Drake Appraisals.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

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

An increasing amount of NV 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, quickly and for top dollar, what you need is 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 inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a astute asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very helpful bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Call attention to any issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Prevent the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to backslide

It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is much more than they thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated impression of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly 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.
