Selling your home in or near Honolulu County? Contact Harlin Young & Co. and make sure you're setting the price right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand their local real estate market.

You could be fixated on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home. After all, a home is only going to sell for what another person is willing to give you.

Going to sell your home yourself?

An increasing amount of Hawaii homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard to be objective about 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sound selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Make you aware of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help prevent the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out their home's value is higher than they first thought. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they could have originally gotten. Others have an an overestimated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
