Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Quinn Debruin will ensure you get it right.

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

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. After all, a home is only going to sell for the price another person is going to pay.

For Sale By Owner?

Quite a few Wisconsin 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 to get the most you can, what you need is a skilled appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, and we understand that 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very helpful negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Call attention to any issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help decrease the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate
It can be surprising to people when they find out the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated impression when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than gathering dust on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
