Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Wilder Appraisals & Consultants.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few LA homeowners are making the decision 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, what you need is a skilled appraiser. You need objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very difficult to take an objective look at 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 negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Call attention to any problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Prevent the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised to discover the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
