If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, 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 the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

For Sale By Owner?

More and more CA homeowners are choosing 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 for the best price, what you need is a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult difficult 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.

In addition to helping you set a realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while bargaining once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Help decrease the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to flop

People are surprised when they find out the value of their home is much more than they thought. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it 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.
