Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Linday's Appraisals LLC will ensure you get it right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home. Something is only worth the price another person is offering to pay.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more Missouri homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and for top dollar, what you need is 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 tell you 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:
  • Be a very beneficial bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Make you aware of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help decrease the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to backslide
It can be surprising to people when they find out that the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal 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. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
