Getting an appraisal from Schoepf & Associates, Inc. before putting your Campbell County home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market. At the end of the day, your house is only worth what another person is going to pay.

Selling on your own?

Quite a few Kentucky homeowners are deciding 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, you need a qualified appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, it's very difficult to take an objective look at 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 will getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking 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
Make you aware of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help decrease the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
