Appraisal services for home sellers - M.S. Mitchell & Associates Inc.

Getting an appraisal from M.S. Mitchell & Associates Inc. before putting your Highland home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand their local real estate market.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more UT homeowners are choosing 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 top dollar, you need a qualified appraiser. You need objective opinions, and we understand that it's difficult to take an objective look at 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 sensible asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Alert you of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help decrease the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they thought they would get. Others have an an overestimated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.

Get a comprehensive appraisal before listing

Even if you're working with a very skillful agent, it's definitely a good idea to get an unbiased second opinion of your home's value to signing a listing agreement. And that's where M.S. Mitchell & Associates Inc. comes in. An appraisal can be invaluable in a scenario like this. It will give both you and your agent a complete breakdown of the unique features of your property and give you insight into how the local real estate market is performing with a detailed analysis of recent comparable properties in the area.
