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

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

You, as a homeowner, might be focused on how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home. A home is only worth what another person is offering to give you.

Going to sell your home yourself?

An increasing amount of Massachusetts 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, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, you need a skilled appraiser. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, and we understand that it's 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.

In addition to helping you set a realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Alert you of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help prevent the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to fall through
People are surprised when they find out that their home's value is higher than they first thought. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated assessment when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while you're in Real Estate "limbo".

Get a professional value opinion before listing

You might have a highly skillful agent, but it's definitely a good idea to have an objective third-party's opinion of value prior to finalizing a listing contract. Let CK Appraisals help. An appraisal can be extremely helpful in this scenario. It will give both you and your agent a comprehensive description of your property and its features which will give you insight into the health of the local real estate market with a record of the latest comparable properties in the area.
