Consulting for House Sellers

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Parkway Appraisals, Inc..

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Selling on your own?

Quite a few MN homeowners are choosing 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 top dollar, you need a expert appraiser. You need objective opinions, 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 tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a realistic 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
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Decrease the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised to discover their home's value is a great deal more than they thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an inflated impression when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it 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. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
