Appraisal services for home sellers - Q Appraisals

Getting an appraisal from Q Appraisals before putting your Yankton County home on the market saves you time and money.

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 a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand real estate market forces.

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 assesses the true market value of your home.

Appraisals are valuable tools for families selling without an agent

An increasing amount of SD homeowners are deciding 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 to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, I'm human too and understand it's difficult to take an objective look at your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. I will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

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

Allow you to have the edge while negotiating when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Decrease the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people when they find out that their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an exaggerated impression of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable 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, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done.
