Selling your home in or near Jefferson County? Contact William R. Sanderfer and make sure you're setting the price 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 pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

More and more KY homeowners are deciding 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 to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal.

We will inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very beneficial negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Make you aware of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help prevent the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to fall through

It can be surprising to people when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated impression of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
