Putting a house on the market in or near Washoe County? Contact Alpine Appraisal Company and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

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, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home. At the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for the price another person is offering to pay.

Going to sell your home yourself?

Quite a few Nevada homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and for top dollar, what you need is a qualified appraiser. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, it can be very hard 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 can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sound selling price to attract more potential 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
  • Call attention to any issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Decrease the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to flop
People are surprised when they find out their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally expected. 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 - rather than sitting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
