Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from N W Appraisals.

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 you in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

More and more ID homeowners are deciding 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 to get the most you can, you need a expert appraiser. You need objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very 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.

In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Make you aware of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Prevent the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to deteriorate

It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they expected they would get. Others have an an exaggerated opinion of their home's value, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of gathering dust 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
