Selling your home in or near Navajo County? Contact Schnepf Appraisal and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. 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 a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

Selling on your own?

An increasing amount of AZ homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it's very difficult to take an objective look at own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very valuable bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Call attention to any problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help prevent the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised when they find out their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an inflated opinion of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of waiting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
