Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Frost Appraisal Services, LLC will ensure you get it right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth every penny in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. You see, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home. Something is only going to sell for what another person is willing to pay.

Appraisals are valuable tools for families selling without an agent

More and more New Mexico 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 to get the most you can, you need a qualified appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, it can be very hard to take an objective look at 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.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sound asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very useful bargaining tool 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 get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help prevent the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to deteriorate
Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have originally netted. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
