Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Buffalo Ridge Appraisals, LLC..

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 pays you 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 how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home. Something is only worth the price another person is offering to give you.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

More and more Minnesota homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and for top dollar, you need a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, and we understand that it's hard to be objective about 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 realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Give you an advantage while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Alert you of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help prevent the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through
It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they thought they would get. Others have an an overestimated impression when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order 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. 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 home sits on the market.
