Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Budde Appraisal Service.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Going to sell your home yourself?

Quite a few KS homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, what you need is a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, it can be very difficult to be objective about 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.

In addition to helping you set a astute asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Give you an advantage while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help prevent the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to deteriorate

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out their home's value is more than they originally believed. So investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated assessment of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
