Appraisal services for home sellers - Kelli Hand Appraisal Company, LLC

Putting a house on the market? Contact Kelli Hand Appraisal Company, LLC and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

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

More and more MO homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, you need a qualified appraiser. The best thing to have is 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 realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very helpful bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer.
Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out.
Make you aware of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing.
Decrease the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke.

It can be surprising to people when they find out the value of their home is a great deal more than they thought. So, investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an inflated impression when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than waiting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.

We also help agents price homes.

You might have an extremely skillful agent but it's in your best interest to get of your home's value to finalizing a listing agreement. And that's where Kelli Hand Appraisal Company, LLC comes in. An appraisal can be invaluable in this scenario. It will give both you and your agent a comprehensive description of your property and its features which will give you insight into how the local real estate market is performing with a detailed analysis of recent comparable properties in the area.
