Getting an appraisal from Pinnacle Appraisal Group before putting your Spokane home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, a professional appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

You could be focused on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market. A home is only worth the price another person is willing to pay.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

An increasing amount of Washington homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, you need a skilled appraiser. You need an objective opinion, and we understand that it's difficult 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.

In addition to helping you set a sensible selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge while negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Alert you of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Decrease the odds of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate
It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated assessment when they put a value on their home, and 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. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while getting nothing done.
