Appraisal services for home sellers - The August Group Inc.

Getting an appraisal from The August Group Inc. before putting your St Louis home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. 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 fully grasp their local real estate market.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.

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

Quite a few MO homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it's difficult to take an objective look at own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you 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 useful 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
Alert you of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Decrease the odds of hidden problems that cause sales to flop

People are surprised to discover their home's value is higher than they first thought. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to 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, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
