Appraisal services for home sellers - Barnstable/Plymouth Appraisal Services

Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Barnstable/Plymouth Appraisal Services will ensure you get it right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.

For Sale By Owner?

Quite a few MA homeowners are deciding 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, with minimal waiting and for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard to take an objective look at own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while bargaining once you have 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 get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Lower the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an overestimated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
