Pre-listing Services/For Sale by OwnerIt's very hard to be objective about your house because you probably have an emotional attachment to it. Professional appraisers, like the ones at Metro Appraisers & Consultants, will be objective. We'll tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. A professional appraisal is a crucial negotiating tool once you have a likely buyer, in addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your house will attract many interested buyers. The appraisal is something concrete to show the buyer. It's an independent third party's opinion of your home's value, and not just you saying how much your house is worth. Interested buyers know that you have an emotional attachment to your home and will be far more likely to give credibility to an expert appraiser's value assessment than yours.Challenging Sarpy County's assessment of your propertyYour local tax assessor may have your home overvalued if your house not appreciating as much as other homes nearby.
