Putting a house on the market in or near Saint Louis County? Contact Duluth Appraisal Services 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 in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand their local real estate market.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

For Sale By Owner?

More and more MN homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent.

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 so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very beneficial bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Lower the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

People are surprised when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they originally expected. Others have an an inflated assessment when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable 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, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
