Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from United Appraisal Company.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand local real estate values.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

For Sale By Owner?

An increasing amount of MO homeowners are choosing 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 for top dollar, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very hard 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.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Give you an advantage while negotiating once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Alert you of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Decrease the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an inflated impression of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
