Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Warren Churchill will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand 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. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more CA homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, you need a qualified appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it's 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.

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

  • Give you an advantage while negotiating once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Call attention to any issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Lower the chances 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 first thought. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of waiting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
