Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from US Real Estate Valuation Solutions will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a step in the right direction. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; 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 practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for the price another person is willing to pay.

Selling on your own?

An increasing amount of California homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, you need a skilled appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, it's very 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.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sound asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very beneficial bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Call attention to any issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help decrease the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to backslide
It can be surprising to people when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated impression of their home's value, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
