Appraisal services for home sellers - Goth Appraisals

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Goth Appraisals.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in 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 practically impossible for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more SD homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very hard 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 sensible asking 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 inside and out
Make you aware of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help decrease the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is much more than they thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they expected they would get. Others have an an overestimated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than gathering dust on the market for months.
