Getting an appraisal from AK Home Town Appraisal, LLC before putting your Anchorage home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless the 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.

This isn't a discussion of how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.

Contact us for any questions regarding the specific services we offer for home sellers.

Selling on your own?

Quite a few AK homeowners are making the decision 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 for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it's hard 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.

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

  • Give you an advantage while negotiating while speaking with 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 delay a closing
  • Help decrease the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to flop

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of sitting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.

Get a comprehensive appraisal before listing

You may have a very skilled agent but it's definitely a good idea to have an objective third-party's opinion of your home's value to signing a listing agreement. Let AK Home Town Appraisal, LLC help. We can furnish you with a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a definitive description of your home's characteristics and a detailed breakdown of the newest and similar comparable sales or as they're commonly called, "comps".
