Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from DPOE, Inc..

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays 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 get a handle on local real estate values.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. You see, the appraisal measures your home's market value. At the end of the day, your house is only worth what another person is offering to pay.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few West Virginia homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a qualified appraiser. The best thing to have is 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 tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very beneficial bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Alert you of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help lower the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to go up in smoke
It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is a great deal more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.

You and your agent will get a comprehensive breakdown of the unique features of your property which will give you insight into the health of the local real estate market with a detailed analysis of recent comparable properties in the area.
