Selling your home in or near Toa Alta County? Contact Gilbert Serrano and make sure you're setting the price right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand real estate market forces.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

Quite a few PR homeowners are choosing 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, you need a professional appraisal. You need objective opinions, it's very difficult to be objective about your 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.

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

  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Make you aware of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help decrease the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is much more than they thought. So by taking the first step and investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
