Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Oregon Residential Appraisal LLC.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, a professional appraisal is a must. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home. A home is only worth the price another person is willing to give you.

Selling on your own?

An increasing amount of Oregon 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 to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, it's very difficult 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 selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very useful negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Decrease the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to fall through
People are surprised when they find out the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they could have originally banked. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price for 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, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
