Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Griffith Real Estate Appraisal Services will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

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

An increasing amount of FL homeowners are choosing 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, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, what you need is a expert appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, it's very difficult to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very useful bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Make you aware of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Decrease the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to flop

People are surprised when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated assessment of their home's value, 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 instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.

You might have an extremely experienced agent but it's definitely a good idea to have an objective third-party's opinion of your home's value to signing a listing agreement. And that's where Griffith Real Estate Appraisal Services comes in. We can furnish you with a pre-listing appraisal that will let you and your agent have a definitive writeup of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the latest and similar comparable sales or as they're commonly called, "comps".
