Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Josef Realty Services will ensure you get it right.

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 in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

An increasing amount of MO 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 to get the most you can, you need a skilled appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it's difficult to take an objective look at own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a astute selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Give you an advantage while negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Call attention to any problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Decrease the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to fall through

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So by taking the first step and investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than sitting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
