Congratulations! We are officially moving into the Appraisal phase. Because your buyers are financing their purchase, the lender needs to confirm the home’s value. This video from Avatar Bob (my digital transaction assistant) explains exactly how the process works and how we are preparing for it.
- The Visit: The appraiser will measure rooms, take photos, and compare your property to recent local sales.
- Preparation: Although the buyer won’t be there, keeping the home in “show-ready” condition helps influence the appraiser’s overall impression of the home’s maintenance.
- Our Strategy: I am proactively providing the appraiser with a detailed list of your home’s upgrades and the “comps” that support our purchase price.
- Timeline: Expect the appointment to take less than an hour, with results typically returning in about a week.
Ready for your own roadmap?
There is a reason most of our business comes from word-of-mouth. We protect our clients fiercely and keep them informed every step of the way. If you aren’t a Beekeeper client yet but want this level of service for your next move in the Twin Cities, reach out today.
A Quick Note from the Hive: The roadmap above is a general overview of our proven selling process. Because every home, timeline, and market situation is entirely unique, the information provided here is for educational purposes only and does not constitute legal or financial advice, nor does reading it establish an official real estate agency relationship. Our signed clients receive fully customized timelines, proprietary staging advice, and detailed strategic guidance tailored to their exact property. (If your home is currently listed with another broker, this is not intended as a solicitation.)
