Appraisal services for home sellers - Yates Appraisals Inc

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

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

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

An increasing amount of VA homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance 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. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it's very hard to take an objective look at 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.

In addition to helping you set a sensible asking price to attract more potential 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 condition of your home inside and out
Make you aware of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help lower the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to deteriorate

It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So by taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated assessment of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
