Be an informed seller.

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 difficult for them to understand local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.

For Sale By Owner?

More and more homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and are foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and for top dollar, you need a professional appraisal. We understand that it's difficult to take an objective look at 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 sensible selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Give you an advantage while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Call attention to any problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help decrease the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised when they find out the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment of the value of their home and getting an appraisal has helped them to to realistically price their home, allowing for a faster sale. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers which reduces your offers, making closing more difficult and wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
