Putting a house on the market in or near Pondera County? Contact KV Appraisal Service and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth every penny in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp 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 the amount you need to get out of it. Rather, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market. After all, a home is only going to sell for the price another person is willing to give you.

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

An increasing amount of Montana 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, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. You need 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 explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sound selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge while negotiating once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Make you aware of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help lower the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to go up in smoke
It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they expected they would get. Others have an an inflated opinion of their home's value, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than sitting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
