Appraisal services for home sellers - John C. Sears

Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from John C. Sears will ensure you get it right.

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 studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult 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 the amount you need to get for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more OR homeowners are making the decision 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 professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very 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 can getting a professional appraisal help you set a astute asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease 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 delay a closing
Help lower the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they expected they would get. Others have an an overestimated impression when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than sitting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
