Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand local real estate values.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

An increasing amount of FL homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent.

In addition to helping you set a astute selling price to attract more potential 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's interior and exterior

  • Decrease the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to fall through

It can be surprising to people when they find out that their home's value is much more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally expected. Others have an an inflated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than gathering dust on the market for months.
