Appraisal services for home sellers - Cole and Co Valuation Inc

Putting a house on the market in or near Clark County? Contact Cole and Co Valuation Inc and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more WA 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 professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it's difficult to take an objective look at 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 realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while negotiating 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 issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Help prevent the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to fall through

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than sitting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
