Consulting for House Sellers

Getting an appraisal from MFK Appraisals before putting your Payson home on the market saves you time and money.

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 makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

Quite a few AZ 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, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, what you need is a qualified appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it can be very difficult to be objective about 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 astute asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while bargaining once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Call attention to any issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Decrease the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

People are surprised when they find out their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they originally thought. Others have an an exaggerated assessment of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
