Selling your home in or near Socorro County? Contact Winton Appraisal Company and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a step in the right direction. 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 a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

You're probably focused on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only worth the price another person is going to give you.

Going to sell your home yourself?

An increasing amount of New Mexico 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, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a qualified appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard 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 sound selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very helpful bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Alert you of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help lower the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to go up in smoke
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 an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while you're in Real Estate "limbo".

Even if you're working with a very skillful agent, it's definitely a good idea to get an unbiased second opinion of your home's value before finalizing a listing contract.
