Appraisal services for home sellers - Sanders Appraisal Company, LLC

Getting an appraisal from Sanders Appraisal Company, LLC before putting your Kansas City 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 pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible 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 to sell it for. Rather, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

An increasing amount of MO 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, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, you need a qualified appraiser. It can be very difficult to get 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 explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Make you aware of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Help prevent the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is higher than they first thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an overestimated assessment of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of sitting 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.
