Selling your home in or near Mohave County? Contact Brent Patterson and make sure you're setting the price right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible 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 to sell it for. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.

Quite a few AZ homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent.

  • Call attention to any issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Decrease the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to flop

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought.
