Appraisal services for home sellers - Joel M. St. Pierre

Getting an appraisal from Joel St Pierre before putting your Saint Louis home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

More and more MO homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it can be 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while negotiating once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Lower the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to backslide

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated impression when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
