Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Morley & McConkie.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

You, as a homeowner, might be focused on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. After all, a home is only worth what another person is going to give you.

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

An increasing amount of Utah homeowners are deciding 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 for top dollar, what you need is a qualified appraiser. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, it's very difficult to take an objective look at your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking price to attract more potential 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 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 unrevealed problems that cause sales to fall through
Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they thought they would get. Others have an an overestimated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
