Appraisal services for home sellers - HK Bentley, APPRAISERS

Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from HK Bentley, APPRAISERS will ensure you get it right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an 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 difficult for them to understand local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

Appraisals are valuable tools for people selling without an agent

Quite a few VA homeowners are making the decision 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, with minimal waiting and for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is 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 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 astute selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Decrease the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised when they find out their home's value is higher than they first thought. So by taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they thought they would get. Others have an an exaggerated impression of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
