Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from K&C Appraisals.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and 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 hard for them to understand their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few MN homeowners are choosing 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, quickly and for top dollar, you need a qualified appraiser. The best thing to have is 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 asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very useful negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Call attention to any problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Prevent the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally expected. Others have an an inflated assessment when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
