Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from William Barr.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

Selling on your own?

More and more NM homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a skilled appraiser. You need objective opinions, it can be very difficult to be objective about 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.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very valuable negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Make you aware of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Prevent the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to flop

People are surprised to discover their home's value is higher than they first thought. So investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally expected. Others have an an overestimated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
