Getting an appraisal from Eaton Appraisal before putting your Salt Lake County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

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

Quite a few UT homeowners are making the decision 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, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a skilled appraiser. You need objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very difficult 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 astute selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very beneficial negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Alert you of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Lower the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to flop

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they expected they would get. Others have an an inflated opinion when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of waiting 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.
