Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Central Arizona Real Estate Appraisers.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. You see, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only worth what another person is willing to give you.

Going to sell your home yourself?

An increasing amount of Arizona homeowners are deciding 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 for top dollar, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, and we understand that it can be very hard 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Give you an advantage while negotiating once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Call attention to any issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Decrease the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through
It can be surprising to people when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while getting nothing done.
