Putting a house on the market in or near Chesterfield County? Contact Real Estate Valuation Services and make sure you're setting the price right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand their local real estate market.

You could be fixated on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. You see, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for the price another person is willing to give you.

Appraisals are valuable tools for families selling without an agent

Quite a few Virginia homeowners are making the decision 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 top dollar, what you need is a expert appraiser. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, it can be very difficult to take an objective look at 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 sensible asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Call attention to any problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Prevent the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they could have originally banked. Others have an an exaggerated opinion when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than sitting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
