Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Residential Valuation.

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 spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

You could be fixated on how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. You see, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. At the end of the day, your house is only worth what another person is offering to pay.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more Washington 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 for the best price, what you need is a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, and we understand that it can be very 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.

In addition to helping you set a realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very beneficial bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Make you aware of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help prevent the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to flop
Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally thought. Others have an an inflated opinion of their home's value, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while you're in Real Estate "limbo".
