Appraisal services for home sellers - Coutts Appraisal Service

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Coutts Appraisal Service.

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 pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market.

Selling on your own?

More and more WI homeowners are making the decision 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, you need a professional appraisal. You need objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult difficult 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 selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Call attention to any problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Help prevent the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate

It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is higher than they first thought. So by taking the first step and investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they thought they would get. Others have an an exaggerated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
