Why a Home Evaluation is the First Step When Considering Selling



If you are considering selling, the actual value of your home will become a significant player in what you list your home for and what you are willing to negotiate for a sale.
Even if you are not considering selling your home for another six months, getting a home evaluation will give you a clearer picture of your home's worth.

Value To You
Bringing a Realtor in to give you a home evaluation, also called a Comparative Market Analysis or CMA, gives you all the information and confidence so you can make wise future decisions.

The danger of trying to research your own home is you may not have a realistic view of it's worth and access to the tools that a Realtor has at their disposal.

Many sellers will have a price they think their property is worth and won't want to move any lower on that figure. This is where a Realtor can give you an objective and realistic valuation of your home's true value.

Getting a Realtor's home evaluation could also save you the stress of trying to sell a home for the wrong price in the wrong market. Having a home evaluation means you can confidently list your home when the time comes, being fully aware of your home's true value.

How Does a Realtor Evaluate Your Home?
A Realtor will visit your home and assess the location and health of your home. One of the main things they will do is determine your home's current market value.  If a home similar to yours sold on the same street, then it gives you a good indication of the value of your home.  Having said that, two properties next to each other can sell for very different prices. This is where a Realtor's expertise comes into play.

They will look at the size of your home, the number of bedrooms, and any kitchen or bathroom upgrades. They will also assess the condition of your home. Does your roof need replacing? Are the appliances outdated? Are there elements of your home that could use refreshing to get top dollar?
