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 an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand real estate market forces.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more PA homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, you need a professional appraisal. You need objective opinions, it's very hard to take an objective look at own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you 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 to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very valuable negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Call attention to any issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help prevent the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to flop

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out their home's value is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally thought. Others have an 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 instead of waiting on the market for months.
