Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Red Eagle Appraisals will ensure you get it right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. 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 an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market. A home is only going to sell for what another person is willing to pay.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

More and more Missouri homeowners are making the decision 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 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 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 to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Give you an advantage while negotiating when you find a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help prevent the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to fall through
People are surprised to discover the value of their home is a great deal more than they thought. So taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while you're in Real Estate "limbo".
