Getting an appraisal from Wastweet Appraisal & Consulting Inc. before putting your Cass County home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

Appraisals are valuable tools for people selling without an agent

More and more ND homeowners are deciding 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 to get the most you can, what you need is a qualified appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, it can be very hard to take an objective look at 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 can getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very useful negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Alert you of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help lower the odds of hidden problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. So investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an inflated opinion of the value of their home, 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. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
