Real estate agents are on the field daily and can assess your home based on market trends. You'll learn two things from a FREE APPRAISAL: your home's value and how to increase it. These are essential benefits of free home evaluations.
○ People typically list their homes without doing their research. This frequently leads to listing the home at a price that doesn't fit with a good strategy to sell it quickly and well.
○ A seller's emotional relationship with the home might also cloud their pricing decisions. This could potentially cost you more than listing it right the first time.
○ Agents should measure your home before evaluating it. You may have the home's plans, but you'd be amazed how many don't match its size. Buyers want living space, so measure it.
○ The realtor can compare the home to others after measuring, visiting all areas, and taking notes. It's vital to compare not only with properties currently on the market, which have listed and asking prices but also with sold homes to get actual prices paid. The final sale prices can be 5–20% lower than the asking price.
Sellers without a neutral third party often set pricing without any evidence. Those are wishful thinking, not informed conclusions. After comparing prices, you may start your selling plan on the right foot.
