Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Duncan & Associates will ensure you get it right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand real estate market forces.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

Appraisals are valuable tools for people selling without an agent

More and more KY homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, you need a skilled appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it's very hard to take an objective look at 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 realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Give you an advantage while bargaining 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 get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help decrease the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of waiting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
