Appraisal services for home sellers - TEN Realty

Getting an appraisal from TEN Realty before putting your Lane 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 pays you 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.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

An increasing amount of OR homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a qualified appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very difficult to take an objective look at own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Make you aware of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Lower the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to fall through

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover the value of their home is much more than they thought. So investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an exaggerated assessment of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of sitting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
