Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Certified Appraisals Group LLC will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market. At the end of the day, your house is only worth what another person is offering to give you.

Selling on your own?

More and more Wisconsin homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, 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 sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very helpful negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Lower the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to fall through
Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. So taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand 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 for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of sitting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.

Get a professional value opinion before listing

You may have a highly experienced agent, but it's in your best interest to have an objective third-party's opinion of value prior to signing a listing agreement. Certified Appraisals Group LLC can help. We can provide you with a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a definitive summarizing of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the the latest and similar comparable sales which we typically refer to as "comps" in the appraisal industry.
