Appraisal services for home sellers - Joe Havel IV

Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Joe Havel IV will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. 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 a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

This isn't a discussion of how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

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 to do it right, quickly and for the best price, you need a expert appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it's hard 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 to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Call attention to any issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Help lower the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they expected they would get. Others have an an exaggerated impression of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
