Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Miller Appraisal Services, LLC will ensure you get it right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth every penny in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market. After all, a home is only going to sell for the price another person is willing to pay.

For Sale By Owner?

An increasing amount of Washington 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 to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, and we understand that it's difficult 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 selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help decrease the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke
Folks are sometimes surprised to discover their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they could have originally netted. Alternatively, some people have an inflated impression of the value of their home, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for 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.

Get a comprehensive appraisal before listing

Even if you have a very skillful agent, it's definitely a good idea to have an objective third-party's opinion of value prior to finalizing a listing contract. And that's where Miller Appraisal Services, LLC comes in. We can provide you with a pre-listing appraisal that will let you and your agent have a definitive summarizing of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the the newest and similar comparable sales which we typically refer to as "comps" in the appraisal industry.
