Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Mojgan Scheidler will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, a professional appraisal is a step in the right direction. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth every penny in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. Technically, something is only going to sell for the price another person is willing to give you.

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

More and more Hawaii homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and for the best price, what you need is a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, it's very 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 sound asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very valuable 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 get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help decrease the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to fall through
It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated assessment 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 - instead of gathering dust on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
