Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from KEY INSIGHT will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth every penny in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value. Something is only going to sell for what another person is offering to give you.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

An increasing amount of Wisconsin 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 professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult difficult to take an objective look at your 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 will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very valuable bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Call attention to any problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Decrease the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to go up in smoke
It can be surprising to people when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they could have originally gotten. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
