Selling your home in or near Honolulu County? Contact Appraise It! Hawaii 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 a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Going to sell your home yourself?

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

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very valuable negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Make you aware of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help lower the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop

People are surprised when they find out their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they expected they would get. Others have an an exaggerated impression of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of sitting on the market for months.
