Appraisal services for home sellers - Appraisal Associates

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Appraisal Associates.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

An increasing amount of VA homeowners are making the decision 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, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it can be 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 can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while negotiating 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 overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Prevent the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to fall through

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover their home's value is higher than they first thought. So investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an inflated impression when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
