Appraisal services for home sellers - Barnstable/Plymouth Appraisal Services

Getting an appraisal from Barnstable/Plymouth Appraisal Services before putting your Buzzards Bay home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

Selling on your own?

An increasing amount of MA 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, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a qualified appraiser. You need objective opinions, and we understand that it's difficult 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 sensible selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Alert you of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Help lower the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to deteriorate

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So by taking the first step and investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an overestimated impression of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than sitting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
