Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Kenny Furuya Appraisal Services will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home. After all, a home is only worth what another person is going to pay.

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 selling price so your home will attract 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's interior and exterior
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Prevent the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out their home's value is more than they originally believed. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion of the value of their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of gathering dust on the market for months.
