Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from MGK Properties will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and 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 hard for them to understand their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

More and more CA 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 the best price, what you need is a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very hard to be objective about your 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a astute selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very helpful 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 issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help prevent the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to deteriorate

It can be surprising to people 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 allowed them to receive thousands more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of waiting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done

You might have a highly talented agent but it's in your best interest to have an unbiased second opinion of value prior to signing a listing agreement. And that's where MGK Properties comes in. We can furnish you with a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a precise description of your home's characteristics and a detailed analysis of the latest and similar comparable sales which we typically refer to as "comps" in the appraisal industry.
