Appraisal services for home sellers - Clarity Valuation, Inc.

Getting an appraisal from Clarity Valuation, Inc. before putting your Dupage County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few IL 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 professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard to take an objective look at 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 will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Help prevent the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to backslide

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
