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

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, a professional appraisal is a step in the right direction. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

You, as a homeowner, might be focused on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value. Technically, something is only worth what another person is offering to give you.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few Oregon homeowners are making the decision 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 for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult 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 can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Call attention to any issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Prevent the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to deteriorate

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated assessment of their home's value, 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 - rather than waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
