Selling your home in or near Washoe County? Contact Lace Appraisals and make sure you're setting the price right.

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 pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market.

For Sale By Owner?

Quite a few NV homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and for top dollar, you need a skilled appraiser. You need objective opinions, and we understand that it's hard to take an objective look at 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 sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very beneficial bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Alert you of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Decrease the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to fall through

People are surprised when they find out the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an inflated impression of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
