Listing at the Right Price is Crucial and a Professional Appraisal From Evans Appraisal Services Will Ensure You Get it Right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a step in the right direction. 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 the nuances of local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market. At the end of the day, your house is only worth what another person is willing to give you.

Going to sell your home yourself?

Quite a few Pennsylvania homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Call attention to any issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help prevent the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke
It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - 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 getting nothing done.
