We’re talking about the true market value of your home, which could pay off for you in the long run if you take the time to study it. If you’re willing to learn, we can help you get started.
Home Seller Services
FSBO Home Sales
More and more homeowners today are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. Selling your home through this method can mean saving a rather “hefty” commission (industry average is 5-7% of the home’s selling price). Many FSBO sellers also feel they have more control over selling their home since they’re in essence making all the rules.
However, selling a home on your own will require a significant amount of "homework" if you want to do it right. One piece of advice that experts often give is “Do NOT "Overprice", but it's often challenging to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. Additionally, when you have an inflated opinion of your home's value, you won’t be open to realistically pricing it to make a sale. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means you have wasted time, money, and effort.
Professional Appraisers
Our appraisers are professionals and fully trained. They can be expected to be objective at all times and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. Many people are surprised to learn that their home's market value is worth more than they thought. Investing in a professional appraiser can help home sellers receive several thousand more dollars. If you need help as an FSBO home seller, contact us, and we’ll discuss your situation.
Pre-Listing Appraisal
If you’re working with real estate agents to list your property, more than likely they’ll provide you with a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) that lists selected sales in your area, which serves as a guide in determining what to set as your “listing price". The CMA is vital if you want to maximize your profit and minimize your home’s time on the market.
Still, even if you're working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party opinion before signing a Listing Agreement. This is where we come in as an appraiser. We can provide you with a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar "comparable sales" or “comps,” as they're commonly called.
Apart from helping you set a realistic selling price for your home and attract potential buyers, we can also:
- Act as a valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer
- Impress buyers with written proof of your home’s condition inside and out
- Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
- Decrease the chances of having unexpected problems that can cause a sale to fall through
- Eliminate the chances that a buyer or the mortgage company gets the appraisal done on their own.
