Putting a house on the market in or near Humboldt County? Contact Dawn Adams and make sure you're setting the price right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth every penny in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, the appraisal measures your home's market value. After all, a home is only worth what another person is willing to give you.

Going to sell your home yourself?

An increasing amount of California homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help 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 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.

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

Allow you to have the edge while negotiating when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Call attention to any issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Help prevent the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover their home's value is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally expected. Others have an an inflated assessment of the value of their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than sitting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while you're in Real Estate "limbo".
