Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Associate Appraisers of America.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market. A home is only worth what another person is willing to pay.

Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

Quite a few California homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. 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 explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very helpful bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Alert you of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help decrease the odds of hidden problems that cause sales to backslide
People are surprised when they find out the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they expected they would get. Others have an an overestimated impression of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than sitting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while getting nothing done.
