Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from All Service Real Estate.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. You see, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market. A home is only going to sell for what another person is willing to pay.

Appraisals are valuable tools for people selling without an agent

More and more Pennsylvania homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and for the best price, what you need is a qualified appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, it can be very hard 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 so your home will attract 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
  • Make you aware of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Lower the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to go up in smoke
Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they expected they would get. Others have an an overestimated impression of the value of their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your home sits on the market.
