Putting a house on the market in or near Cass County? Contact Northpointe Appraisals and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, an appraisal is a step in the right direction. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand 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 how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value. After all, a home is only worth 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 North Dakota homeowners are deciding 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 for the best price, what you need is a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get 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 realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Give you an advantage while negotiating when you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Call attention to any issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Lower the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to backslide
Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is much more than they 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 originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated impression when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while getting nothing done.
