Getting an appraisal from T.R. Moore & Associates, Inc. before putting your home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

You, as a homeowner, might be focused on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. A home is only worth the price another person is offering to pay.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few Arizona homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult difficult to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very helpful negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Make you aware of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help lower the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate
People are surprised to discover their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated impression when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your home sits on the market.
