Putting a house on the market in or near Pendleton County? Contact Champ Rock Appraisals, LLC and make sure you're setting the price right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; 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 difficult for them to understand real estate market forces.

You could be fixated on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. After all, a home is only going to sell for what another person is willing to pay.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more West Virginia homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get 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 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 realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Give you an advantage while negotiating once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help prevent the odds of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate
Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So taking the first step and investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have originally banked. Others have an an exaggerated assessment 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 gathering dust on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while you're in Real Estate "limbo".
