Getting an appraisal from Anderson & Associates before putting your Vancouver home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays 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 fully grasp real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

An increasing amount of 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 for the best price, what you need is a skilled appraiser. You need objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult difficult to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell 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:

Be a very beneficial 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 issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Lower the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of waiting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
