Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Rivers Edge Appraisals & Consulting, Inc..

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, an appraisal is a step in the right direction. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money 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.

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, the appraisal measures your home's market value. A home is only worth the price another person is going to pay.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

Quite a few Idaho 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, with minimal waiting and for the best price, 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 explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sound asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge while negotiating once you have 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 eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help prevent the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to deteriorate
People are surprised to discover the value of their home is much more than they thought. So taking the first step and investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they expected they would get. Others have an an overestimated assessment of their home's value, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
