Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from M&M Residential

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. A home is only worth what another person is going to give you.

Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

An increasing amount of Washington homeowners are making the decision 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 professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, and we understand that it's difficult to take an objective look at 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 sensible asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Alert you of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Lower the odds of hidden problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally thought. Others have an an exaggerated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
