Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Alpine Appraisals, LLC..

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. You see, the appraisal measures your home's market value. Technically, something is only worth what another person is willing to pay.

Selling on your own?

Quite a few Idaho 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, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, it's very hard to be objective about your 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sound selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very valuable bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Alert you of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help lower the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to backslide
It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have originally banked. Alternatively, some people have an inflated impression when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
