If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

Selling on your own?

More and more FL homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and for the best price, what you need is a professional appraisal. You need objective opinions, 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 sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Make you aware of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Help prevent the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to backslide

It can be surprising to people when they find out the value of their home is much more than they thought. So by taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they originally thought. Others have an an exaggerated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of sitting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
