Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Steinley Real Estate Appraisals.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand real estate market forces.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. You see, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. After all, a home is only going to sell for what another person is offering to pay.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

More and more South Dakota homeowners are choosing 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 to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, and we understand that it can be very hard to take an objective look at 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 will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Give you an advantage while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help decrease the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to deteriorate
It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated opinion when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your home sits on the market.

Get a comprehensive appraisal before listing

Even if you have a very skillful agent, it's definitely a good idea to have an objective third-party's opinion of your home's value before signing a listing agreement. And that's where Steinley Real Estate Appraisals comes in. We can furnish you with a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a definitive summarizing of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the the latest and similar comparable sales which we typically refer to as "comps" in the appraisal industry.
