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

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible 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 have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for what another person is going to give you.

Going to sell your home yourself?

An increasing amount of Nebraska homeowners are deciding 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 qualified appraiser. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, it can be very hard to take an objective look at 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Make you aware of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Help decrease the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to deteriorate

It can be surprising to people when they find out that their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.

Get a professional value opinion before listing

Even if you have a very skilled agent, it's in your best interest to get an analysis of your home's value before signing a listing agreement. And that's where Skyline Appraisal comes in. An appraisal can be indispensable in this scenario. It will give both you and your agent a complete breakdown for the unique features of your property which will give you insight into the health of the local real estate market with a record of the latest comparable properties in the area.
